Everything under your user menu lives here: themes and account options, turning on desktop and mobile notifications, streaming quotes, and the color coding that keeps multiple trading accounts easy to tell apart.
You can read straight through, or use the contents list to jump to what you need. Every section below is also a standalone article — the “Open as article” link under each one takes you to it on its own page, if you want to bookmark or share just that piece.
