JAFX Terminal settings: chart settings, time zone, theme, layout and sounds

Updated 12 November 2026

The JAFX Terminal keeps its settings in the browser you are using. They apply to every trading account you use in that browser and do not follow you to another device. Your profile, portal password and 2FA are not here: Settings in the account menu opens the client portal's settings.

Chart settings

Select Settings at the bottom of the left rail. On a phone, select Menu, then Chart settings. You can also choose Chart settings… in the Layout menu in the chart's top bar.

Setting	What it does
Bid / Ask lines	Dotted lines at the live Buy (Ask) and Sell (Bid) prices, each with its price on the chart's price scale.
Position lines	Shows your open positions and pending orders on the chart. You can drag a stop loss, take profit or pending order to move it, then confirm.
Trade markers	Marks where your trades on this market opened (B buy, S sell) and closed (✗ at a loss after costs, ✓ otherwise).
Favourites bar	Shows or hides the strip of your favourite markets above the chart.
Chart timezone	See below.
Theme	Light, Dark or System (follows your device).

The chart type, indicators, grid lines and the log scale are set on the chart itself: in its top bar, under its settings gear and at its bottom right.

Time zone

Chart timezone sets the time zone of the chart's time scale and of the times in your positions, orders and history. The choices are Local Time, UTC, Server (UTC+2), London/EU (UTC+1), Moscow/Dubai (UTC+3), Singapore/HK (UTC+8), Tokyo (UTC+9), Sydney (UTC+10), New York EDT (UTC-4), New York EST (UTC-5), Los Angeles PDT (UTC-7) and Los Angeles PST (UTC-8).

Two things always use the trading server's time, whatever you choose: your account statement and the daily P&L calendar on the Portfolio page.

Panel sizes

On a computer, drag the border between two panels to resize them. Double-click a border to put it back. Reset in the left rail (on the Trade page) restores every panel to its default size; you see "Layout reset to defaults."

Sounds

Select the speaker button in the top bar (Sounds: on or Sounds: off). On a phone, select Menu, then Sounds.

Play sounds switches every sound on or off.
Volume sets how loud they are.
Each sound has its own switch and a play button to hear it.

Group	Sounds
Orders	Order filled, Pending order placed, Pending order triggered, Order changed, Order cancelled
Closed positions	Closed in profit, Closed at a loss, Take profit hit, Stop loss hit
Other	Error, Market alert

If you hear nothing: browsers play sounds only after your first click, tap or key press on the page. Your device's volume applies too, and on an iPhone, its silent switch. Sounds play only while the web trader is open.

Orders and closed positions also show a notice on screen. The web trader's browser notifications are for market alerts and briefings only, not for your trades.

What is saved, and where

Chart settings, your time zone, the theme, sounds, panel sizes, your favourites and each chart's drawings and indicators are saved in this browser only. If you clear the browser's site data, use a private window or change device, they start again from the defaults. Your trades, orders and history are not affected.

The web trader is in English only.

We are available 24/7 via live chat or email (support@jafx.com).
