After purchasing your evaluation, your trading account status may temporarily display as “Pending”. This is completely normal and typically resolves within a short period.
For CQG Accounts
If this is your first CQG account, you’ll need to complete a few setup steps:
Follow the link provided to sign the market data agreements.
Once completed, your status will automatically change to Active within 10–15 minutes.
If you have already signed the agreements, your status should update shortly after the system processes your activation.
For Rithmic Accounts
If you signed up for a Rithmic account, your status will change to Active once TakeProfitTrader receives confirmation from Rithmic that your account was successfully created.
This process typically takes 10–15 minutes.
If your account remains pending beyond this timeframe, please contact Live Chat Support for assistance.
Weekend and Market Hours
If you registered for a trading test over the weekend, your status will remain Pending until the markets reopen.
The futures markets open on Sunday at 17:00 (5 PM) Central USA Time.
