Intuitive and Consistent UI
LamaTrader is designed so that learning one part of the platform transfers immediately to every other part. The same interaction patterns — search, filtering, column configuration, drill-down, and navigation — work identically in the positions table, the order history, the options chain, and every other data surface. Spend time learning your trades, not learning the software.
Consistent Design Language
Every component in LamaTrader — tables, forms, modals, widgets, navigation panels — is built from the same design system. Colors, typography, spacing, iconography, and interaction patterns are uniform across the entire platform. There are no "legacy" screens that look different from the rest, no feature that feels like it was bolted on after the fact.
This consistency means that when you encounter a new screen or widget for the first time, the patterns are already familiar. The buttons work the same way. The tables filter the same way. The forms behave the same way.
Universal Symbol Search
A single search field is always accessible from the keyboard shortcut or the search icon in the navigation bar. It searches across all asset types simultaneously — equities, ETFs, options underlyings, crypto, and index symbols — and returns results instantly.
Results show:
- Symbol ticker
- Full company or asset name
- Asset type and exchange
- Current price and daily change (for recently accessed symbols)
Recent symbols and your watchlist symbols are surfaced first. Select a result to open the symbol's quote page, open a chart, or add it to a watchlist — without leaving the current screen.
Table Filtering and Search
Every data table in the platform — positions, order history, watchlist, options chain, trade history, most actives — has a consistent filtering system:
- Text search — type to instantly filter rows by symbol, company name, or any visible text column
- Column filters — click the filter icon on any column header to add a range, value, or multi-select filter
- Quick filter presets — one-click filters for common cases (e.g. "Today only," "Losses only," "Options only," "Open only")
- Filter indicator — a badge shows how many filters are active and provides a one-click reset
Filters stack. Multiple active filters are applied simultaneously with AND logic. The active filter set persists within a session when you navigate away and return to the same table.
Sorting
Click any column header to sort ascending. Click again to sort descending. A sort indicator arrow shows the active sort column and direction.
Hold Shift and click a second column header to add a secondary sort key. Multi-column sort is available in all major tables (positions, order history, options chain).
Column Configuration
Right-click any column header to access the column configuration menu:
- Hide this column — remove columns you don't need
- Show/hide columns — toggle any available column on or off from a complete list
- Reset to defaults — restore the original column set
Drag column headers to reorder. Drag column dividers to resize. All settings persist per-table between sessions.
Drill-Down Navigation
Every summary view links to a detail view. Click a position row to see full fill history, Greeks history, and linked orders. Click an order row to see the full stage visualisation and per-fill breakdown. Click a symbol anywhere in the platform to see the full quote and chart.
Navigation is contextual — opening a detail view does not lose your place in the summary. Use the back navigation or close the detail panel to return exactly to where you were.
Responsive Data Density
Data tables automatically adjust column visibility based on available panel width. In narrow widget layouts, lower-priority columns hide gracefully. As you resize the widget wider, additional columns appear. You always see the most relevant data for the current panel size, without horizontal scrolling.
Keyboard Navigation
LamaTrader supports full keyboard navigation throughout the platform:
- Tab — move focus between interactive elements
- Arrow keys — navigate table rows
- Enter — open the selected row's detail view
- Escape — close detail panels, modals, and dropdowns
- Keyboard shortcut layer — global shortcuts for opening the order form, symbol search, AI chat, and layout switching
The keyboard shortcut reference is available in Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts and as an overlay via the ? shortcut key.
Dark and Light Modes
LamaTrader ships with a professional dark mode as the default and a full light mode for bright environments. The global theme is set in appearance settings. Per-account themes (for multi-account users) override the global setting when that account is active.
All charts, widgets, and tables are fully rendered for both modes — no elements that look wrong in one theme or the other.
Accessibility
LamaTrader is built on accessible component foundations with proper ARIA labels, keyboard focus management, and sufficient color contrast ratios. Screen reader compatibility is maintained across navigation, forms, and status updates.
