This page is used to choose the instruments and markets that an Order Handler is allowed to trade. Selections override account allowable markets settings. It is also used to override the account’s default margin multipliers.
Any commodity with an instrument that can be traded by any of the FCM’s enabled routes is displayed.
You can set allowable markets by all commodities, US or non-US commodities (e.g. all non-US), exchange (only Eurex), and instrument (only gold on DGCX).
Margin multipliers cannot be applied to individual instruments. For “All commodities,” only a specific value can be set. Allowed override values are 0.01 to 100.
In this example, the trader is allowed to trade US commodities and Eurex. Notice allowed markets are indicated in red font. US commodities are using the default margin multiplier 1.00, while Eurex has a custom margin multiplier of 1.15.
CQG client software receives account and trader commodity-related enablements during the logon process. Because you may save changes after the update process has run for the given minute, changes may be applied during the following minute.
Changes made on the Allowable Markets page can affect account and trader commodity-related enablements.
To select allowable markets for Order Handler

2. Select the Allowed to trade check box for the group (all, all US, all non-US), exchange, or instrument you want to allow.
