Updates include new sidebar order entry capabilities, the introduction of a new fixed home workspace, and the ability to manage settings via REST APIs
DXtrade, the flagship multi-asset trading platform from Devexperts, has announced its latest round of updates.
Featuring a wide range of advanced trading and risk management features, DXtrade is a multi-asset trading platform that can be configured to support stocks, options, futures, ETFs, mutual funds, bonds, FX, CFDs, and margin and spot digital assets.
The updates, which will work to enhance DXtrade’s strong UX and comprehensive offering, include the introduction of a fully redesigned sidebar order entry (OE), a new fixed home workspace, a new trade and order entry screen for native mobile, and the ability for firms to manage settings via REST API.
New sidebar order entry
The sidebar order entry enhancement for DXtrade’s web terminal will consolidate all trading workflows - including new order, modifications, closing, and canceling - into a single, consistent, space-efficient panel.
The new sidebar will include the ability to:
• Create new orders, including Market, Limit, Stop, and OCO order types; complete with Stop Loss and Take Profit settings available with full four-parameter logic.
• Modify existing positions and orders
• Close and Cancel workflows, including positions, pending orders, and OCO legs.
• Link instruments as part of the platform-wide color-coded linking system, including automatic expansion and preloading of instruments on trade triggers, modify, close, or cancel actions when one-click trading is disabled; and support for persistent link copying across sessions in regular workspaces.
The update will also see:
• The inclusion of Positions and Orders widgets in the platform-wide linking system, ensuring synchronized instrument display across linked widgets.
• Cross-account and workflow consistency.
This comprehensive update establishes the sidebar OE as the single source of truth for order and position management in the web terminal, delivering a consistent, discoverable, and efficient trading experience while laying the foundation for future enhancements like risk-based sizing and advanced order management.
Fixed home workspace
In addition to the sidebar OE, DXtrade’s new update will see the introduction of a fixed home workspace for the web terminal. The new workspace will provide users with a consistent, simplified trading environment containing only essential widgets.
This enhancement delivers a more focused, intuitive default workspace for both new and existing users, improving usability and reducing interface distractions.
Redesigned trade and order entry screen in native mobile
The redesigned trade and order entry screen in native mobile introduces a more intuitive, unified order placement experience. Key highlights include:
• Unified trade flow: accessing an instrument from the watchlist opens a dedicated screen combining the chart and order entry panel for faster decision-making.
• Streamlined order entry layout: a clear, structured panel presents order type selection, volume, margin impact, spread, and order value in a single, consistent view.
• Expandable SL/TP management: Stop Loss and Take Profit inputs are available on demand via expandable controls, keeping the default view clean while allowing precise risk management when needed.
• Pending order support: Pending orders are handled directly within the same screen, with contextual price input and validation based on order type.
• Landscape trading experience: Landscape mode introduces a split-screen layout, displaying the chart and order entry panel side by side for enhanced usability.
The update significantly improves mobile trade execution speed and clarity, while establishing a solid foundation for future order entry and risk management capabilities.
Ability to manage settings via REST API
In another significant improvement, DXtrade’s most recent update will also provide firms with the ability to manage settings via REST API, enabling brokers to automate settings and profile management without the need for manual input from the dealing team when dealing with multiple environments. The update will also enable firms to build more sophisticated scenarios, such as scheduled profile switches, for example.
Overall, the updates are designed to further enhance the trading experience via DXtrade, for firms and traders alike.
Jon Light, Senior Director of Product Management, says: “We are always looking at ways we can evolve and improve DXtrade, guaranteeing that both our clients and their traders are receiving a market-leading experience at all times. This is part of our commitment as a service provider. The relationships we form with our clients are for the long term and ensuring the platform is supported and optimized with the latest updates is absolutely part of this process. We hope firms and traders alike enjoy this latest new and improved iteration of DXtrade, and look forward to introducing further updates in due course.”
