On first log in, Trader is pre-loaded with a basic template showcasing market watch, charting, trading ladder and orderbook functionality. We recommend that you configure your own layout, using this guide.

Neon Trader has a selection of desktop layouts pre-loaded. You can switch between them or add a new blank page.

Options pages can be added via the ‘add page’ + button in the main menu. You can also embed the options widget into an existing page.

On the left side of the screen, the main menu sidebar allows for new pages, charts, quotes, and other widgets.

Use the first two tabs for your most frequently used features. There's an option to 'add new' page, under that are all the available widgets for each page.

'Add new' widgets to your screen by clicking the component in the left-hand sidebar. It will appear as a widget on the screen you are viewing.

'Add new' pages to create tabulated workspaces for charting, option trading or a new asset class.

At the bottom of the left-hand menu sidebar, you will find the preferences menu, the log off button and a connection health status.

Trader pages are comprised of widgets. Add and remove widgets from either the left-hand side menu or the ‘+’ next to any existing widgets on the page.

Clicking the ‘+’ reveals a pop-up menu. Selecting an item from the pop up will insert it into the current page. There is no limit to the number of widgets on a single page. If your current page is full, a new page will be tabulated.

Drag and drop the widgets to build your bespoke layout. Selecting some widgets (such as the Quote Spreadsheet) will produce a secondary menu prompting a selection of contracts.


To sync multiple widgets, click the circle in any widget’s tab and choose a color. When two or more widgets share the same color, they will automatically sync according to the selected symbology.

Customize any widget by clicking on it's three dots icon. For quote spreadsheets, launch a trading ticket from the buy and sell buttons.

From the three dots, you can also duplicate the tab, open on a new page, or open in a new window.

In the upper right corner of any widget, you can toggle to fullscreen. To restore to the original size, click the button again.

A Trading ticket gives you complete control of your order entry. Switch between a trading ticket ('Trade') or a hybrid order ticket ('HOT') at the top of the pop-up.

Define the direction, order type and duration from drop down lists.

Use the HOT or DOM ladders to view market depth. Trading tickets can be embedded in 'Market Watch' as a widget or linked to any screen for quick contract selection.

Market Watch allows you to view and trade multiple contracts across exchanges.


Add additional contracts by clicking the ‘+’ button to launch the search functionality. Product information such as contract specification, historical volumes and market activity can be found by clicking on the ‘i’.

Right clicking on the Contract launches a sub menu for Graphs, Option Trading and Trading Tickets. Alternatively, you can click the ‘Buy’ and ‘Sell’ buttons in the top right-hand corner of the Market Watch to place orders.

Modify, cancel or hold your orders using widgets such as, orders working, orders filled, and others that can be found under “Trade” on the left-hand side menu.

Filled orders are notified via pop up and are visible in the 'Filled Orders' grid.

'Account Summary' displays P&L, NLV and balances.

Launch a chart from the left-hand sidebar.

You will be presented with a selection of chart types including price, technical analysis, and volume.

Charts can be linked to your instrument watch or fixed to a single product.

Charts can be annotated and traded from.

Neon Trader’s Option Pricing widget gives you all the information you need in one compact grid.

Select expiries from the suggested tabs, view the 'Market Volume' chart and key market data.

View and analyze the Greeks, and launch scrolling Tickers, Time and Sales, and charts per Instrument.

The preferences menu allows you to choose 'Interface' customizations and custom 'Trading and symbol settings'.

Both choices are set at account level, so you will see the same settings on any device logged into the same account.
