Research-Backed Design
Each layout was designed based on research into how professional traders actually work:
- Day Traders: Need chart + Level 2 visible simultaneously, minimal distractions
- Swing Traders: Rely on RSI, MACD, moving averages, and correlation analysis
- Crypto Traders: Fear & Greed index is the single most predictive sentiment indicator
- Investors: Fundamentals trump technicals; earnings and institutional ownership matter
- Options Traders: IV analysis and unusual flow detection are essential
We studied how professionals at prop firms, hedge funds, and successful retail traders organize their screens.
