Fresh from winning best trading app in our 2023 awards Capital.com has improved functionality further by personalising their client’s trading experience through the introduction of dynamic widgets and adding VWAP indictors.
Dynamic widgets
Capital.com’s customers can now benefit from a personalised home screen on their trading platform, using a series of tools or widgets, to curate and display the content that matters to them most. The new, dynamic widgets will provide clients with instant access to trading tools and data.
The widgets functions include the display of real-time market data and prices, personalised watchlists, financial news feeds and educational resources.
Using the new widgets clients will be able to seamlessly navigate between their personalised home screen and other sections of the Capital.com trading platform.
They will also have the ability to trade directly from a news feed or watchlist without the need to change screens and can monitor account balances and margin requirements.
Dana Massey, Capital.com’s Chief Product Officer said of the new tools:
“The new personalised home screen interface enables our clients to easily see the day’s top and trending stories, seamlessly switch between accounts and keep an eye on their favourite markets”
Adding that:
“By making the home screen more customisable, our clients can conveniently access the information they need without navigating away from their page, saving them time and enabling them to focus on making strategic trading decisions”

VWAP Indicators
Capital.com has also added a new indicator to its trading platform, with the introduction of VWAP or Volume Weighted Average Price.
VWAP can be thought of as being quite similar to a moving average, but what it actually tracks is the price level at which most business or volume has been transacted over a given timescale.
The indicator, which is very popular among more experienced equity and CFD traders, is drawn as a line on a price chart and can be used to inform breakout or mean reversion strategies and trades.
The new tools and indicators introduced by Capital.com, which are available on its mobile and desktop platforms, are part of a wider movement within the margin trading industry to tailor tools, and the user experience, to the specific requirements of their underlying clients, rather than relying on impersonal generic trading software, and that’s to be welcomed.
