Sounds

Pro's sounds in one place. Pick what plays, how loud, and go quiet when you need to.

Pro can tell you what happened without you looking: your order filled, a big trade hit the tape, the book moved. Pro's sounds live under the bell in the workspace bar, on its Sound tab.

The Sound tab

The Sound tab under the bell: All sounds, Overall volume, Quiet and the first sound rows
  1. 1
    All sounds and Alt+M, on this device
  2. 2
    Overall volume
  3. 3
    Quiet for a while
  4. 4
    Each sound and its volume
  5. 5
    Turns this sound on or off

At the top, All sounds turns sound on or off, and Overall volume sets how loud everything is. Below them, sounds come in four groups: My account, Watching, Tape, and Matches and crypto.

Click a row to open it. Pick one of six sounds (Click, Tick, Ping, Knock, Chime, Low) and set Channel volume; each pick plays once. Crypto windows has its own set of cues, and book alerts play each rule's own sound, so for Order book the pick only changes the preview.

What plays when

SoundWhen it plays
Fills and payoutsYour fills, redemptions and deposits.
ErrorsA rejected order or a failed action.
SignalsYour wallet, price and volatility alerts. Off at first.
Order bookYour book alert rules. Each rule keeps its own sound; this row sets the volume.
Large tradesBig trades in Live Trades, Event Trades and Alerts, from the size you set there.
Moves and marketsPrice moves and new markets in Alerts.
Social postsNew posts in the Post Feed.
Crypto windowsThe countdown, a cross of the price to beat and the edge alert on crypto charts. Off at first.
Match eventsIn Esports Match: the result, and on CS2 map point, match point and pauses.

Tape and match sounds only play from a widget with its own sound on, like Large trade sound in Live Trades. The number on a row counts those widgets on this board. A widget's own settings show a short sound line with Set up, which opens its row here.

Two widgets catching the same trade play it once, a burst of fills is one sound, and when two kinds land together, the more important one plays.

Going quiet

Press Alt+M (Option+M on a Mac) to mute or unmute Pro; muted, the bell shows a crossed-out speaker. All sounds, Quiet and In a background tab stay on this device only: mute the laptop for a call and the desk terminal keeps playing. Your sounds and volumes follow your account.

Quiet silences Pro for 30 min, 1 h or Until 9:00. The bell shows a moon with the minutes left, or the time Quiet ends, and Sound back on ends it early. A rejected order still sounds unless you turn off Errors while quiet.

Smart Flow's chime is separate: All sounds and Quiet don't silence it, so turn it off on the Smart Flow page.

Browsers only play sound once you've clicked or pressed a key in Pro. Until then the bell shows a small warning dot.

Tips

  • Keep Fills and payouts and Errors on. They're the two you can't afford to miss.
  • Signals, Social posts and Match events all start on Ping. Using more than one? Give each its own sound, so you know which it was without looking.

Extras

Recent sounds

The bottom of the tab lists the last sounds this session: when, which kind, and what caused it, like a trade's outcome, size and market. Several events that played as one sound show ×2, ×3 and so on. Click the name to open that row, or hover a line and replay it.

Crypto windows

Each cue plays its own sound: a tick for the countdown, a ping at 10 seconds, a knock when the price crosses the price to beat, a chime when the edge reaches your alert. Under When, choose Windows with a position or Every window. The switch on the Crypto Scanner and on crypto charts is the same setting.

Options

SettingWhat it does
