Devexperts has pushed a new round of changes to its DXtrade trading platform , touching the trader-facing interface on both web and mobile as well as back-end tools available to broker clients.

The company says the update, which includes a redesigned sidebar order-entry panel, a new fixed home workspace, an overhauled mobile order-entry screen, and REST API settings management, will improve usability and reduce manual work for brokers running the platform.

“We are always looking at ways we can evolve and improve DXtrade,” said Jon Light, Senior Director of Product Management, “guaranteeing that both our clients and their traders are receiving a market-leading experience at all times.”

One Panel Meant to Rule the Web Terminal

The most visible change on the web side is the sidebar order entry redesign. Devexperts says the update consolidates all trading workflows: new orders, modifications, closes, and cancellations into a single panel on the right side of the web terminal, arguing this removes the need for traders to navigate multiple areas of the interface to carry out basic actions.

The new sidebar purportedly supports Market, Limit, Stop, and OCO order types, with Stop Loss and Take Profit settings delivered through what the company calls a "four-parameter logic" system. Devexperts also claims the Positions and Orders widgets are now connected to the platform's color-coded instrument linking system, keeping instrument displays synchronized across linked widgets.

“The relationships we form with our clients are for the long term and ensuring the platform is supported and optimized with the latest updates is absolutely part of this process,” Light added.

“We hope firms and traders alike enjoy this latest new and improved iteration of DXtrade, and look forward to introducing further updates in due course.”

Alongside the sidebar, DXtrade is introducing what the company calls a fixed home workspace for the web terminal, which Devexperts says will provide a cleaner default environment built around essential widgets only, with the stated goal of reducing interface clutter for newer traders.

Earlier this month, Devexperts also partnered with theScreener to embed market research data directly into the platform, and separately opened its DXcharts library to custom JavaScript indicators built by broker development teams.

Mobile Order Entry Pitched as a Single-Screen Experience

On the mobile side, Devexperts has redesigned the trade and order entry screen for its native app. The company says opening an instrument from the watchlist will now launch a single dedicated screen combining both the chart and the order entry panel, rather than requiring traders to switch between views.

The redesigned view reportedly presents order type selection, volume, margin impact, spread, and order value in one place. Stop Loss and Take Profit inputs sit behind expandable controls to keep the default screen uncluttered, while landscape mode now purportedly offers a split-screen layout with the chart and order panel side by side, Devexperts said.

The mobile push is arriving in a period of broad activity across rival platforms. cTrader Mobile 5.6, released in January, introduced a series of retail-focused improvements around transparency and visual clarity, while DXtrade refreshed its own mobile app in March 2025.

The previous July, Devexperts rolled out a mobile web interface for DXtrade that the company said would let traders access core functions through a phone browser without needing the native app installed.

REST API Access Targets Broker Overhead

The update most likely to attract attention from larger operations is the new REST API support for settings management. Devexperts claims this will allow firms to automate profile configuration and settings changes across multiple environments without manual input from dealing teams, a pain point the company says affects brokers managing several concurrent setups.

The firm also says the API opens the door to more complex automation scenarios, such as scheduled profile switches, though it offered no specifics on how many clients currently face that bottleneck.

Devexperts has been steadily adding broker-facing integrations to DXtrade. In January, the company connected the platform to Arizet Labs' PropTech suite, saying it would give prop firm clients access to CRM, risk management, and payout automation tools from within the same environment.
