MotiveWave™ User’s Guide Version 5.0 ©2019 MotiveWave™ Software Page 7 of 212 MotiveWave™ Startup Screen Depending on the broker or data service that you have chosen for the workspace, you may see a dialog that asks for login information. The example below is a login dialog for a CQG workspace. In this case enter your User ID and password for your CQG account.

If you are being asked for a login ID and password, then this would be for the broker or data service that you chose for the workspace.
