As some of you might remember, I’ve recently switched brokers to Cybertrader and haven’t looked back. I had used trading platforms before, but the flexibility that Cybertrader provides is great.

That said, it took me forever to figure out how to do something I always do before I start trading: hide those profit/loss numbers. One of the first features you notice the first time you switch from an online only broker to a “trading platform” is the real time trading status. The nice thing about that feature is that you see your account’s worth and open profit/loss numbers in real time on each tick. The bad thing about that feature is that you see your account’s worth and open profit/loss numbers in real time on each tick. Before long I realized that “cool feature” was harming my trading psyche! It’s like poison!

I created a video showing how to hide those numbers - trust me, you don’t want to be staring at those numbers all day!
