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, live order status, 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.)

Build Your Own Widgets

When the built-in library doesn't cover a workflow, build the widget yourself in the Widget Builder (Tools → Widget Builder):

Live editor and preview: write the widget on one side, watch it render with real data on the other
AI assistance: describe the widget — or a change to it — in plain English, and the built-in AI assistant drafts it for you. Review the summarized changes and apply them with one click; nothing changes until you do
Version history: every save is kept. Browse and roll back to any earlier revision
Same foundation as native widgets: custom widgets work with the same live data as the built-in library — quotes, positions, orders, options chains — plus theme-aware styling and responsive layout

Finished widgets drop straight onto any dashboard and behave exactly like built-in ones.

The Library

Tools → Library is the single home for your custom widgets and AI skills:

Search and filter by name, tag, status, or source
Factory catalog: first-party widgets and skills ship with the platform, ready to use. They are read-only, but cloning one gives you a fully editable copy
Preview live and view code before adding a widget to a dashboard — then add it directly from the card
Trust levels: every widget and skill is marked untrusted, provisional, or trusted, controlling whether it needs your explicit confirmation to run. AI-generated items start untrusted; you promote them after review
Enable/disable: retire items without deleting them, and re-enable them when they're needed again

Performance

LamaTrader only updates the widgets you can actually see, so dashboards stay fast and responsive even during high-volatility periods — FOMC announcements, major earnings, market open.

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:

Day Trader: order pad, charts, watchlist, and news
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
