63

This video shows 5 useful layouts for the Trader Workstation desktop platform by Interactive Brokers. We gave an in depth guide for each layout and showed the settings that may apply. Users can download the .XML settings file to add these layouts to their system. Upon restoring a settings file, your previous settings will be overwritten so remember to save those if necessary. When restoring a settings file it will overwrite existing hotkeys, watchlists and any defaults that were configured. The provided settings file has a few configured keyboard shortcuts which are basic and provide a good starting point. These templates are meant to be a basis for new users to build on or get ideas.
