Light vs Dark Mode

MarketAlpha offers full support for both light mode and dark mode, so you can customize your experience based on preference, screen brightness, and working environment.

How to Switch​

You can toggle between light and dark mode at any time using the theme switch button at the bottom right of the platform. The entire interface updates instantly, including:

  • Tables
  • Charts
  • Sidebars
  • Watchlists
  • Navigation menus

Your selected mode is remembered and will be restored automatically next time you return.

Use Case Tips​

Dark Mode​

Dark mode is preferred by most users for extended screen time, especially in lower-light environments or during pre-market and post-market sessions. It reduces glare, minimizes eye strain, and offers better contrast on chart visuals.

Use dark mode when:

  • You're trading early morning or late at night
  • You want to reduce visual fatigue
  • You're using multi-monitor setups in a dim workspace
  • You want to maximize focus on colors, levels, and signals on charts

Light Mode​

Light mode can be helpful when working in bright rooms or daylight conditions, as it provides higher visibility under sunlight and reduces screen reflections in lit environments.

Use light mode when:

  • You're working near a window or in high ambient light
  • You prefer a white-background interface for clarity
  • You want to improve legibility when printing or sharing screenshots

Summary​

Light or dark mode doesn’t just change appearance — it can affect how long you stay focused, how you perceive chart structure, and how comfortable you feel using the platform throughout the day.

Choose the one that fits your workflow — and switch anytime.
