Customization

LamaTrader is designed around the principle that no two traders work the same way. Every aspect of the platform — layout, appearance, widget behavior, data density — can be configured to match your workflow. Changes persist across sessions, and you can choose whether they stay local to your browser/device or sync through your LamaTrader account.

Dashboard Layouts

The dashboard canvas is fully customizable. Drag any widget to any position. Resize panels by dragging their edges. Stack multiple widgets in tabs within a single panel area to maximize screen real estate.

Save any arrangement as a named layout. Switch between layouts in one click — no rebuilding, no setup time. Layouts are independent; modifying one never affects the others.

See Dashboards and Widgets for full documentation on the layout system and widget library.

Per-Account Visual Themes

Each account in LamaTrader can be assigned its own visual theme. When you switch accounts, the entire platform appearance changes — color palette, accent colors, and UI chrome — giving you immediate, unmistakable confirmation of which account is active.

This is a safety feature as much as a personalization feature. The visual distinction between a live account and a paper account, or between your personal account and a client account, eliminates the risk of executing a trade in the wrong context.

Available themes include dark, light, and a range of colored accent variants. Custom themes for enterprise and white-label deployments are available through LamaTrader Broker.

Widget Configuration

Every widget has its own settings panel, accessible via the gear icon in the widget header. Common configuration options:

• Symbol binding — pin the widget to a specific symbol, or link it to the dashboard's "active symbol" so clicking a symbol in the watchlist updates all linked widgets at once
• Display density — compact, normal, or expanded layouts for data-heavy widgets
• Refresh interval — override the default data refresh rate for individual widgets
• Column visibility — for table widgets (positions, orders, watchlist), show or hide columns to match your priority information

Column and Table Configuration

Data tables throughout the platform — positions list, order history, watchlist, options chain — support column reordering, resizing, and visibility toggles. Drag column headers to reorder. Right-click a header to show/hide columns. Resize by dragging column dividers. Settings persist per-table.

Sorting by any column is available everywhere. Multi-column sorting (hold Shift while clicking a second column header) is supported in the main data tables.

Watchlist Organization

Watchlists are fully customizable. Create as many watchlists as you want, name them freely, and organize symbols with drag-and-drop ordering. Pin specific watchlists to dashboard layouts so a given layout always opens with the relevant symbols in view.

See Watchlists for full details.

Keyboard Shortcuts

LamaTrader supports keyboard shortcuts for common actions. The full shortcut reference is available in the platform help panel. Key bindings can be customized in Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts.

Common defaults:

• Open new order form
• Focus symbol search
• Switch to next/previous layout
• Open AI chat
• Toggle paper/live account

Notification Preferences

Control how and when LamaTrader surfaces alerts:

• Order fill notifications — toast, sound, or both
• Expiration alerts — for calendar spreads and other near-dated positions
• Price alerts — triggered when a watched symbol crosses a price level you set
• AI suggestions — opt in or out of proactive AI insights based on portfolio changes

Appearance Settings

• Theme — global dark or light mode base (overridden per-account by account themes)
• Font size — small, medium, or large for data-dense tables
• Number formatting — currency symbol, decimal places, compact notation (1.2M vs 1,200,000)
• Timezone — all timestamps and market hours display in your selected timezone

Sync Across Devices

Layout configurations, widget settings, watchlists, and preferences can either stay local to your current browser/device or, when you enable account-based synchronization in the admin panel, be stored in your LamaTrader account and synced across devices. Log in on a new machine and your full workspace is available immediately only when synchronization is enabled.
