Let me disable features I don't use

There's a lot on screen. Most of it is useful to somebody and about a third of it is useful to me. I'd like to hide what I don't use — not because it's bad, but because every panel I ignore is a small ongoing cost in attention, and attention during a session is the resource I have least of. Related, and more strongly: I'd like the option to hide live P&L while a position is open. I make worse decisions when I can see it and I'd rather remove the temptation than practice resisting it.

The hide-P&L request is the one I'd upvote twice. Watching an open position's number is the single biggest driver of my bad decisions.

Interesting that a "remove information" request has the strongest support on the board. Says something.

Noted, and it's a fair ask. Two different things though from our side: hiding panels is layout work, hiding live P&L while a position is open touches how the position view is built, so they'd land at different times if they land. No timeline I can promise. If you can list which panels specifically you'd kill first, that helps us decide what's worth making optional versus just moving.

A few thoughts on the P&L part: 1. If you do get the toggle, keep a note of the date you turned it on. Otherwise in three months you'll have no idea whether your exits got better or you just traded a calmer stretch. 2. Compare like with like — same setup type, same holding period. A month of hidden P&L against a month of visible P&L on totally different trades tells you nothing. 3. Small sample warning, because I say it every time: if you have 20 trades on each side and one of them is a big winner, that's noise, not evidence. Still want the feature. Just don't want people concluding it fixed them after eight trades.
