This preference governs system behavior in two situations:

placing an order from an application, such as a chart

double-clicking a symbol.(only when the preferred double-click action is Launch Trading Entry Display (System Preferences > Symbol)

When this check box is selected, the system always opens a new instance of the preferred order entry window in these situations rather than using an order entry window that is already open.

Enable Sound Board

Select this check box to enable Sound Board.

Disabling the Sound Board overrides application settings. For example, if you have the Enable Sound Board check box selected for Order Ticker, and you disable Sound Board here, then Sound Board is disabled for Order Ticker also.

This check box is clear by default.

Copy DDE Links to Excel

Select this check box to use DDE rather than RTD when copying links to Excel from the Quote SpreadSheet.

Use CQG Integrated Client as the default API/CDP/RTD provider.

Select this check box if CQG IC is the primary application you use with custom spreadsheets and applications.

Leave it unselected if CQG IC is not the primary application or if you are not an API or RTD customer.

If you encounter problems with RTD formulas, make sure this check box is selected.
