Streamer mode
The eye button in the header hides balance, PnL, position and order sizes and exchange keys — for lives, OBS and screen recording.
Streamer mode replaces private amounts on screen with dots: •••••. Charts, prices and order books stay as they are — viewers see your analysis and trades, but not how much money you have or what size you trade. Dots, not blur: a short blurred number can still be read.
Turn it on and off
The eye button in the platform header, on the right — next to the notification bell and your avatar. Everyone who is signed in has it.
- Click it and the mode turns on: the eye becomes crossed out and the button is highlighted in amber. The tooltip on hover reads: "Streamer mode is on: private amounts are hidden. Click to turn off".
- Click again and the mode turns off.
- If you turned the mode on manually, it stays on after a page reload until you turn it off.
The mask is on the screen itself, so you see the dots too. Nothing changes in your accounts and orders: the mode only hides the numbers.
What gets hidden
| Where | What |
|---|---|
| Trading accounts | balance, margin, available funds, unrealized PnL, loss in percent and the reason a risk limit was triggered |
| Trading and the trading menu | quantity and amount in the order form, sizes of open orders and positions, total volume, long and short volume, PnL |
| Lines on the chart | order amounts and sizes, position PnL and volume, risk and reward in order drafts |
| Grid bots and Pionex | invested amounts, volumes, PnL, fees, Pionex UID |
| Exchange keys | key and secret fields, IDs and issued API keys in the profile |
| Profile and affiliate program | name, email and UID, affiliate links and their names, sales and earnings, credits balance, SF wallet and balance |
| Trade notifications | quantity and amount in pop-up messages about orders |
Input fields with amounts and keys show dots too: you can type in them as usual, but the screen shows circles instead of digits.
What stays visible
- Trading account names and account labels on chart lines — they tell viewers which exchange a trade is on.
- Prices: the chart, the order book, order and position levels. Order and position lines stay in place and the trade direction is visible — only amounts and sizes are hidden.
- All market data: candles, indicators, screeners, liquidations.
- Everything outside the SpreadFighter tab: the exchange website in a neighboring tab, other apps, system notifications. The mode works only inside the platform.
Automatically during a room live
A trading room owner can record a live and stream it to YouTube — then their whole SpreadFighter tab goes into the recording, with positions, balance and orders. That is why the "Go live" window has the "Hide financial info" switch: "Balance, PnL, position and order sizes, keys — masked while you are live".
- The switch appears when "Record the stream" or "Stream to YouTube" is on, and only on a computer. On a phone the tab can't be recorded — only the camera and voice are recorded, so no mask is needed.
- It is on by default. The mask is applied before the first frame is captured — the first seconds of the recording are free of money too.
- When the live ends, fails to start or drops, the mode turns off on its own.
- If you turned the mode on with the header button before the live, it stays on after the live.
- Room members don't receive the tab — they watch the live desk. The mask is for the recording and YouTube.
More about lives — in the room owner's guide; about what members see — in "Trading room: how to take part".
OBS, screen recording and screen sharing
The mask is on the screen itself, so any capture sees it: OBS (window, display or browser tab capture), system screen recording, screen sharing in Zoom, Google Meet or Telegram, screenshots.
- Turn the mode on with the eye button before you start recording or sharing.
- Check that the button is highlighted in amber and scroll through your trading widgets: there should be dots instead of amounts.
- If you share the whole browser window, mind the neighboring tabs — the mode does not hide the exchange website.
- After the live, turn the mode off with the same button.
