Settings & Configuration

Appearance, trading preferences, and account options

What's in Settings

Settings gathers everything that configures the app: Broker Connection, Market Data, Appearance, Trading Preferences, and account actions.

Broker Connection and Market Data each have their own help sections. See Connecting Your Broker and Market Data. The topics here cover the rest.

Appearance

  • Theme: switch between light and dark mode.
  • Table Display Density: cycle between Compact (11px, tight spacing), Comfortable (12px, standard spacing), and Large (16px, generous spacing) to trade screen real estate for readability in the chain and tables.
  • Display Time Zone: every date and time across the app is shown in the zone you choose: US zones (ET, CT, MT, PT, Alaska, Hawaii), UTC, and major international zones (London, Central Europe, Tokyo, China, India, Sydney). Handy for lining up timestamps with market hours.

Trading Preferences

  • Auto-close trades when all positions reach zero: when a trade's positions net to zero, Stratsigma marks it closed automatically, for both manual entries and broker-synced executions.
  • Stock Commission (per share) and Option Commission (per contract): your default per-unit costs, used for manual backtesting only. Broker-synced trades use the actual commissions reported by your broker.

Danger Zone

The Danger Zone holds irreversible actions. Delete Account permanently removes your account and all associated data. There's no undo, so use it only if you're certain.
