Some external trading services which Sierra Chart supports, will have their trading server become unavailable over the weekend and possibly during other times when the market is closed.

If this is an issue or you would like to avoid this, then we recommend using the new Sierra Chart order routing service which has its servers up 24 hours a day 7 days a week:

Does this hold true for this setting (see attached)?

We are not understanding the question. What about those particular settings? They are fully documented here:

I ask because in the config stated above, Live Order limits/brackets don't work when I use CQG FIX when markets are closed or computer is shut down. I use CQG FIX rather than CQG web because Order limits/brackets don't work at all using CGQ Web.

In regards to post #4, for an understanding of how this works, refer to:
Attached Orders: General Management of Attached Orders

I use CQG FIX rather than CQG web because Order limits/brackets don't work at all using CGQ Web.
This cannot be true. OCO orders are supported with both CQG FIX and the CQG Web API.

For server-side bracket orders you need to use this service:

In regards to "This cannot be true. OCO orders are supported with both CQG FIX and the CQG Web API." It is true. I invite you to log in live with me while I try to execute using CQG Web API.

See attached error message I get when attempting to place any order using web API. Can this be fixed? I'd like to continue to use CQG, but with server protected trades. Thank you..

Regarding that error, refer to:
CQG Trading Platform Service: Solving Contract ID Mapping Error when Submitting Order

Also, if you want your bracket type orders fully server managed this is definitely not supported with CQG. This is one reason why we developed this new service which you should look at using which does support server-side bracket orders:

Ok, then assuming I switch to your new service, will it work as advertised if I trade with this set up (see attached)?. I ask because this setup adversely affects how CQG hamndles my limit orders and bracket orders when market is closed. Thank you
