# Customizing Your Trading Workspace

The MetroTrade platform lets you rearrange your workspace to match how you trade. You can switch between preset layouts, resize individual panels, and show or hide panels you don't need. 

### **Choosing a Workspace Layout**

The fastest way to change your workspace is to pick one of the built-in layouts.

1. Click the workspace layout icon in the top right corner of the screen, next to the notifications bell.
2. Choose from four preset layouts:
3. **Classic**: A balanced view of all panels.
4. **Market View**: Puts markets and watchlist data front and center.
5. **Trade Mode**: Optimized for fast order execution.
6. **Focus**: Prioritizes chart space for analysis.
7. Click a layout to apply

### **Resizing Panels**

Once a layout is applied, you can fine-tune it. Click and drag the border between any two panels to make one larger and the other smaller.

### **Showing and Hiding Panels**

You can also turn individual panels on or off without changing your entire layout.

1. Look at the toolbar above the chart, next to the fullscreen icon.
2. Click **Watchlist**, **Order**, or **Trades** to show or hide that panel.
3. A highlighted button means the panel is currently visible.
