Because different brokers provide different levels of back office data to CQG, some data may not be available in Orders and Positions. For example, if your broker does not provide trade confirmations, then the Confirmations window will not display data outside of the current day.
The first table identifies what data you can expect to see when Current Day is selected on the Filter pane, when a purely historical date range is selected, and when a range from some date to the current day is selected.
The second table describes system behavior after log off from the trading gateway.
