Widget Builder: Create Your Own Trading Widgets, No Export Required
LamaTrader ships with 50+ professional widgets covering charts, options chains, order management, portfolio analytics, market screeners, and more. For most traders, the library is enough. But some workflows are personal. A specific combination of data points, a layout built for one strategy, a view nobody else has thought of because nobody else trades the way you do.
The Widget Builder is for those traders. Now you can build the widget you have always wanted, without leaving the platform.
Design It in a Live Editor
The Widget Builder is a proper workspace built into LamaTrader, not a fill-in-the-blanks settings form. You write your widget on one side and watch it come to life on the other:
- A code editor with helpful suggestions as you type
- A live preview that updates the moment you make a change, with no save-and-refresh cycle
- A resizable split layout so you can give the editor or the preview more room, depending on what you are working on
- Configurable settings for your widget, so anyone using it can adjust it through a clean settings panel
Write it, see it render, adjust, repeat. All on one screen.
Every Version, Saved
You tweak something, it breaks, and you cannot remember what the working version looked like. It is a familiar problem with custom tools.
The Widget Builder keeps a full history of your widget. Browse every version you have saved, compare them, and roll back to any earlier one with a single click. Your widget development always has a safety net.
From Builder to Dashboard in One Click
When your widget is ready, there is nothing to export, upload, or configure somewhere else. Choose a dashboard and your widget drops straight onto it, sitting alongside the built-in ones. It is resizable, movable, and persistent, exactly like any native widget.
Custom widgets live in your personal library. They survive sessions, device changes, and platform updates. Build once, use forever.
Built on the Same Foundation as Native Widgets
Your custom widgets are not second-class citizens. They use the same building blocks as LamaTrader's own library, which means the same access to live quotes, positions, orders, options chains, and portfolio analytics, the same theme-aware styling, and the same responsive layouts. They work across stocks, crypto, and options without special handling.
Who Is This For?
- Quantitative traders who want a bespoke analytics view for a specific strategy
- Portfolio managers who need a consolidated risk dashboard the standard library does not cover
- Brokerages using LamaTrader Broker who want client-facing tools tailored to their market
- Curious traders who have always wanted "just one more column" or "a slightly different view"
You do not need to be a professional developer. If you can write a spreadsheet formula, you can build a simple widget. If you want to go further, the editor is ready for it.
Getting Started
Open the Widget Builder from the Tools section in the sidebar. Start with a blank canvas or fork an existing widget as a starting point. The editor, preview, and version history are all there the moment you open it, with no setup required.
