To The Moon

Speaker: Ada Tan Jia Ying

Hey Tigers 🐯!

A trading app can have dozens of features, but for a new user, the real question is much simpler:

Where should I look first?

During the latest Tiger First Stripes: Getting Started with Tiger Trade App session, Ada Tan Jia Ying walked users through the core navigation of Tiger Trade — from the customizable homepage to market quotes, portfolio tracking and profile settings.

The key message was clear:

For new users, learning the app structure first can make everything that comes after — research, monitoring and trading — much easier.

🏠 Home Page: Build the App Around How You Invest

One of the first features Ada highlighted was the customizable homepage.

Instead of forcing every user into the same layout, Tiger Trade allows users to adjust the modules shown on the home page based on their own habits.

Users can scroll to the bottom of the page, select the customization option, and add or remove modules using the “+” button.

That may sound like a small convenience.

But from an investor’s perspective, it matters because the homepage often becomes the first place you check when the market moves.

If the information you care about is easier to reach, the app becomes less about searching — and more about monitoring.

The bigger idea:

A user focused on market news may want one setup.

Someone tracking positions closely may want another.

The point is not to use every feature.

It is to surface the features that matter most to you.

📊 Quotes: More Than Just Stock Prices

The Quotes page covers real-time market data across major markets including:

•         Hong Kong

•         United States

•         Singapore

It also supports searches across multiple product types, including stocks, bonds, futures, options and cryptocurrencies.

For beginners, it is easy to think of the Quotes page as simply:

“Where do I check the price?”

But it is more useful to think of it as the app’s market discovery layer.

It is where users begin moving from:

“I heard about this company”

to

“What is actually happening in the market right now?”

That shift matters.

Because a stock price on its own does not tell you much.

The more useful habit is to combine price, market movement and product information before forming a view.

📁 Portfolio: Know What You Own, Not Just What You Bought

Ada also walked through the Portfolio page, which integrates:

•         current positions

•         pending orders

•         transaction records

into one place.

That makes it more than a simple holdings screen.

It becomes a central place to understand what is currently happening across your account.

For new users, this is especially important because there is a big difference between:

placing an order

and

knowing the status of that order.

A pending order is not the same as a completed position.

A completed position is not the same as available cash.

And a portfolio value is not the same as realized profit.

The Portfolio page helps bring these pieces together.

That leads to a useful habit:

That sounds obvious, but it is one of the most important habits in account management.

⚙️ Customize What You See

Another useful function Ada covered is portfolio display customization.

Users can tap the hexagon icon on the page to choose which information dimensions they want displayed.

Once saved, the settings take effect for future use.

This matters because different investors care about different things.

Some may focus on position size.

Others may care more about order status, P&L or account allocation.

The ability to customize the display means users do not need to process the same information in the same way.

The best interface is the one that helps you make fewer mistakes.

That is the deeper value of customization.

It is not just about appearance.

It is about making the most relevant information easier to notice.

👤 Profile: More Important Than It Looks

The Profile page is easy to overlook because it feels more administrative.

But it includes several useful settings and entry points.

Users can adjust:

•         language

•         font size

•         interface-related preferences

and access areas such as:

•         Tiger Points

•         rewards

•         offline event registration

For beginners, this page is worth exploring early.

Because some of the app’s useful support features are not necessarily inside the trading screen itself.

Ada’s walkthrough made one thing clear:

Using Tiger Trade well is not only about the Buy and Sell buttons.

It is also about knowing where support, settings, learning resources and rewards are located.

🧭 Think of the App as a Workflow, Not a Collection of Tabs

This is probably the most useful way to think about the session.

Instead of treating Home, Quotes, Portfolio and Profile as separate pages, users can think of them as one workflow:

Home → Discover

Quotes → Understand

Portfolio → Monitor

Profile → Personalize

That makes the app easier to remember.

And more importantly, it mirrors how investors actually behave.

You first notice something.

Then you research it.

Then you act.

Then you monitor what happened.

🧠 Ada’s Key Takeaways for New Users

A few practical lessons stand out from the walkthrough:

Home Page
→ Customize it around the information you use most

Quotes
→ Use it to explore market data and different products

Portfolio
→ Track positions, pending orders and transaction records together

Profile
→ Adjust settings and find rewards, events and other support features

But the broader lesson is:

That makes the app less overwhelming and turns it into a repeatable investing workflow.

Learn the structure first. Speed comes later. 📱
