- Personalized Data Views: Traders can customize dashboards to highlight the metrics most relevant to their strategy.
- Faster Decision-Making: With real-time alerts and signals, traders can react quickly to market changes.
- Improved Portfolio Management: Data visualization allows investors to see their holdings, risk exposure, and asset correlations in one place.
