Overview

The Trade Panel in FinStudio's Tradingboard module offers flexible docking and undocking functionality, enhancing usability and accessibility for traders.

• Quick Action Capabilities: The undocked Trade Panel remains fully functional, enabling traders to execute trades, close positions, and adjust orders swiftly. Access to essential tools like the chart icon remains intact, providing insights into market trends with just one click.

How to Dock the Trade Panel Back

Practical Use

Docking and undocking the Trade Panel is especially advantageous for traders who manage multiple tasks or monitor multiple markets simultaneously. It allows for a flexible trading environment where information is readily available, and actions can be taken without delay. Whether extended across multiple monitors or used on a single desktop setup, the ability to dock and undock the Trade Panel adapts to the individual needs of the trader, promoting an efficient and effective trading workflow.
