Default view of the web platform

The web platform has been designed with individual user needs in mind, offering a wide range of customization options and different layout views.

Making changes on the platform is simple and does not take much time.

After logging in, the default view is displayed, where the screen is divided into several main areas. On the left-hand side, there is a vertical menu bar with key functions such as Deposit, Withdrawal, and Settings. Next to it, you will find the Market Watch window, while the chart window is located on the right-hand side. Open positions are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

If you want to modify the platform layout, click the “change platform layout” button in the upper right corner. You will then be able to choose between three layout options: vertical, horizontal, or full screen.

Platform customization – adding new tabs

Above the chart, you will find the following tabs: Charts, Account History, Education, Market Analysis, News, and Calendar. Each of them can be removed by clicking the “x” icon next to its name.

Once a tab is removed, a “+” button will appear in its place, allowing you to add the selected tab again from the list of available options.

Chart customization and tools on the web platform

To adjust the appearance of the chart window, right-click anywhere on the chart and select “Personalize chart view”.

A new window will open, where you can manage settings across several tabs: Grid, Price, Trades, Comparison, Indicators, and Session Calendar.

Additionally, quick chart customization is available through two different areas of the interface:

1. Top menu above the chart

Above the chart, there is a set of shortcuts that allow you to quickly adjust the chart view. These include:

  • Changing the chart timeframe – switch between minute, hourly, daily intervals, and more,

  • Changing the chart type – e.g., candlestick, line, etc.,

  • Zooming in and out – quick adjustment of the chart scale,

  • Additional navigation and display options – available under the “cross” icon, which expands a menu with extra settings.

The expanded menu includes options such as:

  • navigating to the latest or older data on the chart,

  • vertical zoom in and zoom out,

  • locking the axis,

  • enabling automatic scrolling to the latest data.

The auto-scroll function ensures that when browsing historical data, the chart automatically returns to the most recent data. If you want to analyze historical data without this behavior, the option should be disabled.

2. Toolbar on the left side of the chart

On the left side of the chart, there is a toolbar that can be fully customized. Users can choose which tools should be visible and which should be hidden.

This toolbar includes tools such as indicators, crosshair, trend line, parallel channel, vertical line, and horizontal line.

To customize its content, right-click on the chart and select “Customize toolbar”. In the displayed window, you can choose which elements should be visible.

Restoring default settings on the web platform

If you want to remove all changes and restore the platform to its default settings, click the three-line icon in the upper right corner of the platform and select “Settings”. Then, in the General tab, choose the option to restore default platform settings.

You can also access the Settings section directly from the vertical menu on the left side of the platform.
