Widget Library

The Widget Library is the catalog of analysis modules available in your Trading Workspace. Use it to create a workspace that supports your process—market observation, planning, journaling, and review—without forcing every decision through a single fixed dashboard. Each workspace can combine visual market tools, contextual intelligence, and personal productivity widgets. Your layout is designed to support disciplined decision-making, not encourage more trades.
Widgets provide educational information, market context, and workflow support. They do not constitute investment advice, trade signals, or a guarantee of market outcomes.

Open the Widget Library

  1. Open the Trading Workspace from the dashboard.
  2. Select Add widget in the workspace controls.
  3. Browse or search the Widget Library.
  4. Select a widget to add it to the active workspace.
  5. Drag and resize the widget until your layout supports the task at hand.
1

Start with a purpose

Decide what you are preparing for: market scanning, a single-pair setup, a news-sensitive session, trade journaling, or weekly review.
2

Add only essential widgets

Begin with the fewest modules required to answer your current question. More information is not always better information.
3

Arrange by attention priority

Keep the chart or primary analysis surface central. Place supporting context—news, calendar, notes, or watchlists—around it.
4

Save and refine

Your workspace layout and widget configuration are associated with your workspace so you can return to an intentional setup.

Widget categories

Charting & price action

Analyze an instrument across timeframes and use the chart as the central surface for structure, liquidity, and execution planning.

Market intelligence

Add high-level context with market heatmaps, screeners, economic-calendar data, news, and reference-level tools.

Planning & discipline

Keep notes, tasks, and structured prompts close to the analysis that created them.

AI-assisted analysis

Use contextual AI surfaces to investigate a question, summarize a plan, or connect workspace context with your learning journey.

Available widgets

Availability may vary by your product access, workspace configuration, and ongoing platform releases.

Charting & price action

Trading chart

The chart widget is the primary visual analysis surface for an instrument. It is intended for observing price behavior, documenting levels, and developing a structured trade thesis. Typical uses include:
  • Reviewing market structure across multiple timeframes.
  • Marking liquidity areas, ranges, session highs and lows, or key reaction zones.
  • Comparing a current setup with a rule-based trading plan.
  • Recording observations before, during, or after a trading session.
A chart can show price movement; it cannot validate a setup, predict a result, or replace your risk rules. Confirm your own entry, invalidation, position-size, and news-risk criteria before taking any action.

Global symbol and timeframe controls

Global controls help establish a shared instrument and timeframe context for compatible widgets in the same workspace. For example, changing the active symbol can align a chart and supporting market-context widgets around the same market. Use global controls when you want a unified analysis view. Use a widget’s local settings when you need that widget to remain fixed on a different instrument or timeframe.
Use them when your workspace is focused on one market, such as a dedicated EUR/USD or GBP/JPY preparation board. They reduce repetitive configuration and make related widgets easier to compare.
Avoid relying on shared controls when building a cross-market scanner or comparing multiple instruments at once. In those cases, configure each widget intentionally.

Market intelligence

Forex heatmap

The Forex Heatmap presents relative currency strength and weakness at a glance. It is useful for forming broad context before narrowing attention to an individual pair. Consider using it to:
  • Identify currencies showing broad relative momentum.
  • Compare potential pair candidates before opening detailed charts.
  • Challenge a single-pair bias with a wider market view.
  • Frame questions for further research.
A heatmap is a contextual tool, not a standalone entry model. Relative strength can change quickly and should be interpreted alongside structure, liquidity, session conditions, and scheduled events.

Forex screener

The Forex Screener helps you scan instruments against selected market criteria. Use it to reduce a large market universe into a short, reviewable watchlist. A disciplined screening workflow might look like this:
1

Define your trading universe

Limit the scan to instruments your plan, broker, session, and risk rules permit.
2

Apply your process filters

Look for conditions relevant to your approach rather than searching for the most active or dramatic market.
3

Move candidates to chart review

Use the screener to identify candidates, then validate structure and context on the chart.
4

Document the decision

Record why an instrument was selected, rejected, or placed on watch.

Economic calendar

The Economic Calendar displays scheduled macroeconomic events that may affect currencies and market conditions. It helps you plan around known event risk rather than discovering it after volatility increases. Use the calendar to:
  • Identify high-impact events relevant to the currencies you are monitoring.
  • Define a no-trade or reduced-risk window according to your trading rules.
  • Separate a planned technical setup from an event-driven market move.
  • Review whether news timing influenced a completed trade.
Event schedules, impact classifications, forecasts, and released data can change. Calendar information should be checked as part of your routine, but it is not a guarantee that volatility will occur—or that markets will react in an expected direction.

Cross rates

The Cross Rates widget shows a live matrix of exchange rates across major currency pairs. Use it to quickly compare relative strength and identify currency relationships relevant to your active pair.

Market session

The Market Session widget displays the current trading session (Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York), session open and close times, and any session overlap periods. Use it to time your analysis and align your participation with the sessions most relevant to your strategy.

News and intelligence cards

News and intelligence widgets provide a concise view of market-relevant developments and stored analysis context. They are useful when you need to understand why a market may be active, what themes are developing, or which information deserves deeper review. For a calmer workspace, consider placing news in a secondary panel rather than directly beside your execution chart.

Planning & discipline

Risk calculator

The Risk Calculator helps you determine position size, potential loss, and risk-to-reward ratio before placing a trade. Enter your account size, stop-loss distance, and risk percentage to produce a position size that aligns with your plan.
The Risk Calculator is a planning tool. Always verify your broker’s margin requirements, available balance, and lot sizing before placing any order.

Notes

The Notes widget is your in-workspace capture surface for observations, trade ideas, questions, and post-session reflections. Useful note formats include:
  • Pre-session plan: market, session, key level, event risk, and conditions required for participation.
  • Trade thesis: what you observed, what would invalidate the idea, and what risk rule applies.
  • Decision log: why you passed on a setup or closed a position.
  • Review note: what happened, what was controllable, and what to improve next time.
Capture the market context, setup conditions, invalidation point, scheduled-news awareness, maximum risk, and the specific reason you will not trade if conditions fail. A concise, falsifiable plan is more useful than a long prediction.
Notes are ideal for fast, contextual capture. Use the platform’s dedicated journal and trade-review workflows when you need structured performance, behavioral, and historical review.

Trade journal

The Trade Journal widget brings the full journal and trade-review experience directly into your workspace. Log trades, record execution context, and review past decisions alongside your active charts and analysis tools.

Performance analytics

The Performance Analytics widget serves as your performance-review workspace inside Forex Masters. It brings together your trading activity, journal notes, risk behavior, and selected account data so you can move beyond isolated wins and losses—and focus on the quality of your decision-making. Use it during weekly review to answer practical questions:
  • Which setups produce your best risk-adjusted outcomes?
  • Are losses concentrated around a session, instrument, or emotional state?
  • Is your risk consistent with your trading plan?
  • Are you following your process when conditions are unfavorable?

Tasks and reminders

Task-oriented widgets help turn analysis into a repeatable process. They are especially useful for separating preparation work from execution decisions. Examples:
  • Review high-impact events before the London session.
  • Compare a setup with your written entry checklist.
  • Capture screenshots and journal notes after a trade.
  • Complete a weekly review before planning the next week.

AI-assisted analysis

AI workspace surfaces

AI-enabled widgets can help you explore a market question, clarify a learning concept, summarize visible context, or create structured next steps. The assistant may use relevant workspace, lesson, market, and personal-context signals where appropriate and authorized. Use AI as a thinking partner:
  • Ask it to explain a concept visible on your chart.
  • Request a checklist for evaluating a setup against your rules.
  • Turn rough observations into a structured journal entry.
  • Ask for alternative interpretations or invalidation scenarios.
  • Connect a live question to relevant learning material.
AI-generated content can be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. It does not make trading decisions for you and must not override your risk limits, broker requirements, or independent judgment.

Build common workspace layouts

Focused single-pair analysis

Best for traders who concentrate on one instrument and want a low-distraction preparation environment.

Primary

Trading chart with a deliberate symbol and timeframe.

Context

Economic Calendar filtered to the relevant currencies.

Process

Notes for the thesis, invalidation, and review.

Market scan and watchlist

Best for identifying candidates before committing to deeper analysis.

Scan

Forex Screener for a defined instrument universe.

Compare

Forex Heatmap for broader currency context.

Weekly review

Best for converting recent activity into process improvements.
  1. Open your journal and trade-review tools.
  2. Add Notes or task widgets for recurring observations.
  3. Use charts only to revisit specific decisions—not to rewrite history.
  4. Ask the AI assistant for themes, questions, or a review structure.
  5. End with one or two measurable process commitments for the next week.

Manage widgets

Move and resize

Drag a widget by its header or designated handle to reposition it. Use its resize control to give primary analysis surfaces more room and secondary context less visual weight. A practical hierarchy is:
  1. Primary: chart or active analysis surface.
  2. Secondary: calendar, screener, heatmap, or reference context.
  3. Supporting: notes, tasks, and AI assistance.

Configure a widget

Widgets may expose settings for their instrument, timeframe, display preferences, filters, or data view. Some settings can follow the workspace’s global symbol and timeframe, while others remain independent. When configuring widgets, make changes that reflect your documented trading process. Avoid creating a layout that changes constantly in response to short-term market movement.

Remove a widget

Remove a widget when it no longer serves the active workspace purpose. Removing a widget from one workspace does not mean the underlying information is deleted from other supported product areas.
Workspace layouts, widget positions, and configuration are associated with your workspace. If you use multiple workspaces, create a clear purpose for each one—for example, “London Preparation,” “Swing Review,” or “Weekly Journal.”

Data, privacy, and reliability

Forex Masters uses authenticated, user-scoped application data for personal workspace records such as notes, tasks, journals, and layouts. Market information is supplied through managed platform data flows and may update asynchronously. Keep the following in mind:
  • Treat notes, journals, and AI conversations as personal trading data.
  • Do not add broker credentials, account passwords, API keys, or other sensitive secrets to workspace notes or AI prompts.
  • Market data may be delayed, unavailable, revised, or temporarily stale.
  • A widget failing to load does not imply a market condition or a trading conclusion.
  • Your broker’s platform remains the source for executable prices, account status, and order execution.

Troubleshooting

Refresh the workspace and confirm your connection. If the issue continues, try removing and re-adding the widget. For market-data widgets, temporary provider or synchronization delays can affect availability.
Check the workspace global symbol and timeframe controls first. Then review the individual widget settings; a widget may be configured to follow the global context or to use its own fixed selection.
Confirm that you are in the intended workspace and allow the workspace to finish loading before making further changes. If the issue persists, simplify the layout and add widgets back one at a time.
Some widgets, data views, and AI capabilities depend on your access level, active product entitlement, region, or current platform availability.

Design principles

The best workspace is not the one with the most widgets. It is the one that makes your next disciplined action obvious:
  • Observe before acting.
  • Use context before conviction.
  • Write the plan before the outcome.
  • Respect event risk and position limits.
  • Review process quality, not only profit or loss.
A clean workspace supports selective participation. If your analysis is unclear, consider reducing the number of visible widgets, returning to your rules, or choosing not to trade.
