This guide will help you understand how to navigate the platform, manage your trading activities, and leverage key features for a smooth experience.
The main dashboard is divided into three core areas: Left-Side Navigation, Your Board and Market Overview.
The left-side menu allows you to switch between different product market homepages, making it easy to navigate across various categories and manage your trading activities.
Key pages include:
Product Market Homepages
Switch between market pages for Skimmed Milk Powder (SMP) and Butter. Each market page provides a focused view tailored to that specific product.
Deal History
Access a consolidated view of all your past transactions. Use this page to review completed deals, track performance, and maintain a historical record for reference.
Market status: You can always find the current market status for each product in top right corner.
Your personalized trading dashboard is organized into two main tabs:
Negotiations
Active: View and manage ongoing negotiations, adjusting terms and monitoring status.
New: See new incoming bids or offers that require your response.
Deals

Each product market homepage (SMP, Butter, etc.) features a Market Overview section, divided into two main sections:
Day Summary
