Users will find that the Web Browser Trading Platform closely resembles our Desktop Platform’s feel and functionality. Much like its counterpart, the web platform is built into several customizable and distinct panels. Each is labeled in numerical order below.
- Web Navigation Header
- Left-panel Quick View Watchlist
- Right-panel Symbol Overview and Details
- Middle-panel Primary Window
- Navigation Panel and Account Selector

Additionally, users can click on symbols in the positions or watchlist tab to select a new active symbol.

F. Users can access the platform settings by clicking on the gear icon in the top right of the platform. Any adjustments to your settings will permeate across all other platforms. For example, if you set your default stock order quantity to 1 share on the Web Platform, that will also set your default stock order quantity to 1 share on the desktop platform (and vice-versa). If a setting is unavailable or not working as intended, please open the legacy web platform or desktop platform and adjust your settings from there.
