How Placing an Order on Pluang Web Differs From the Mobile App
Placing an order on Pluang's web platform offers more advanced tools and visibility than the mobile app — including a full real-time order book, advanced charting with multiple indicators, and a more detailed order entry panel — making it better suited for traders who need more control over their execution.
- Order book visibility: The web platform displays the full real-time order book alongside the chart, allowing traders to see depth of market and identify significant bid/ask levels before placing an order. The mobile app shows a simplified version of this data.
- Chart-integrated order entry: On the web platform, traders can view their open positions and pending orders directly on the chart, making it easier to manage risk levels visually. The mobile app's order management is handled separately from the chart view.
- Order types available: Both the web platform and mobile app support common order types such as market and limit orders. The web platform may expose additional order parameters (such as time-in-force settings for futures) that are more accessible in its expanded interface.
- Advanced indicators: The web platform supports a wider set of technical indicators — including MA, MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands — and allows multiple indicators to be overlaid simultaneously. While the mobile app supports indicators, the web experience is typically more flexible for multi-indicator setups.
- Screen real estate: The web platform's larger canvas allows traders to view chart, order book, trade history, and order entry panel simultaneously. This multi-panel layout is not available on the mobile app, where screens are navigated sequentially.
The mobile app remains the primary channel for managing non-trading features such as account settings, KYC, top up, cashout, reksa dana, gold, and Pockets. The web platform is optimised specifically for chart-based trading.
