DIGIVESTASI - As of the end of January 2024, there were 5.3 million investors in the capital market, of which nearly 80% were young investors under the age of 40. This number is up about 20% from 4.43 million investors in the same period in 2023. 

In response to the growing trend in the number of investors and people's enthusiasm to invest in the capital market, Stockbit, Indonesia's leading stock investment app, launched a new innovation: the Stockbit desktop app for MacOS and Windows. 

"We have found that the emergence of desktop apps for stock investing has seen little development over the past decade. That's why we're offering Stockbit's new, advanced and interactive desktop app, and as you browse through the data, we're creating a stock investing experience that's more appealing to young investors, who make up more than 80% of all stock investors. "FYI, this desktop application is 100% made by the Stockbit team, not by vendors," explained Stockbit founder and CEO Wellson Lo in a written statement, Sunday (3/3/2024). 

Wellson added that Stockbit's desktop application provides a modern and advanced multi-monitor stock trading experience not only for Windows users but also for macOS users. "This is special because MacOS users have not previously been able to trade stocks seamlessly through the desktop application," he said. 
Investors who invest in stocks through Stockbit welcomed this long-awaited innovation. 

"I like the modern look. It's rare to find a desktop app that allows you to customize the layout to suit your trading style needs. "We believe Stockbit will progress further with its desktop app and become the first choice for stock investors in Indonesia," said stock trader and analyst Michael Yeo. 

Yoga Arsana, a professional trader, expressed a similar opinion. "Stockbit's desktop app has a fresh look and feel that sets it apart from other securities desktop apps. I highly recommend it to traders," he said.

Every layout created is automatically saved to the cloud, so users can switch devices at any time without worrying about losing the layout created.

Lastly, for trading activities, Stockbit desktop app offers an advanced order book that allows users to perform actions such as buying and selling stocks, checking order queues, modifying and canceling orders to further stock analysis.
