Dashboards and Widgets

LamaTrader's dashboard system gives you a fully customizable trading workspace. Place any combination of widgets on a drag-and-drop canvas, resize them freely, save unlimited named layouts, and switch between setups in one click. Your workspace adapts to your trading style — not the other way around.

The Canvas

Each dashboard is a resizable, drag-and-drop grid. Widgets snap to the grid for clean alignment but can be sized to any proportion. Stack a narrow order form next to a full-height chart, run a wide data table across the bottom, or float the AI chat panel alongside the options chain — the layout is entirely yours to define.

Changes to layouts save automatically. Nothing is lost when you close the browser or switch accounts.

Layouts

Save any arrangement as a named layout and switch between layouts with a single click. Layouts are independent — changing one doesn't affect the others. Some common patterns:

Morning Scan — watchlists, top movers, news feed, and charts for your core symbols
Options Session — options chain, strategy panel, Greeks summary, order form
Portfolio Review — position list, P&L breakdown, sector allocation, performance chart
AI-First — AI chat panel front and center with supporting data widgets alongside
Execution Focus — order form, order status, Level 2 depth, and a tight chart

Layouts are available across all your devices. Log in on any machine and your workspace is exactly as you left it. (With synchronization enabled in settings.)

Performance

The dashboard engine only renders and updates widgets currently visible in the viewport. Widgets that scroll out of view pause their data subscriptions and resume when they come back into view. During high-volatility periods — FOMC, major earnings, market open — the platform stays responsive because it never wastes resources on hidden components.

Responsive Design

Dashboards adapt to different screen sizes. The layout engine reflows widgets for tablet and mobile views while preserving your configured arrangement on desktop. For multi-monitor setups, open additional browser windows on different monitors — each window holds its own layout.

Widget Settings

Each widget has its own configuration panel. Common settings include:

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 simultaneously)
Refresh interval override
Display density (compact / normal / expanded)
Color scheme overrides for individual widgets

Starter Templates

If you're setting up LamaTrader for the first time, start from a curated template and modify from there:

Swing Trader — multi-symbol watchlist, sector overview, portfolio P&L, and news
Options Trader — options chain, strategy panel, Greeks summary, and order form
Portfolio Manager — position list, allocation breakdown, performance chart, and AI chat
AI-First — large AI chat panel with supporting market data widgets
