Stations differently, and they can, because the look and feel of the Trading Station is fully customizable. It allows you to change the size, shape, location, and color of almost every feature. Click the "Options" menu selection in the "System" menu (upper left-hand corner) to begin exploring the customization features.

Adjustable Windows
All the windows in the FXCM Micro Trading Station can be moved and resized by clicking and dragging, similar to Microsoft Windows.
