About // Nilla Trader
REF // NT-ABOUT

The trader workspace we actually want open all day.

Nilla Trader is a desktop-first markets terminal: charts, broker accounts, screener ideas, intel, radio, and operator profile in one focused cockpit.

A trader's workflow should not be scattered across a chart tab, broker terminal, notes app, news feed, playlist, and spreadsheet. Nilla Trader pulls those pieces into one screen that can take over the monitor and stay useful while the market is moving.

01The mission

Nilla exists to shorten the distance between seeing a setup, understanding it, managing risk, and reviewing what happened. The product is a workstation first: fast charts, clean rails, broker-aware symbols, and trade ideas that point back to the chart instead of floating in a list.

The web version is useful, but the desktop app is the real arena. Local MT5, background alerts, hotkeys, pop-out charts, and multi-monitor layouts are the reasons Nilla Trader should live as an installed terminal.

02What is inside

The current surface is being shaped around the trading day, not a generic website map.

03Product principles

Terminal-first

Nilla Trader is not a website costume. The desktop app exists for screen takeover, local broker access, alerts, hotkeys, and multi-monitor work.

Real workflow

The chart, screener, account manager, trade idea panel, and order tools should feel like one cockpit instead of disconnected pages.

Actionable, not noisy

Intel should answer what matters now, what timeframe it belongs to, and how a trader should inspect it before acting.

One codebase

The web terminal and desktop app share the same UI engine, while Electron owns the native features the browser cannot provide.

04The road ahead
