JAKARTA - As of the end of January 2024, the number of stock investors in the capital market has touched 5.3 million investors with nearly 80% of them dominated by young investors under the age of 40. This figure is up almost 20 percent from 4.43 million investors in the same period in 2023.

Responding to the trend of increasing the number of investors and the community in investing in the capital market, the leading stock investment application in Indonesia, Stockbit, introduced its new innovation, namely Stockbit Desktop App for MacOS and Windows.

"We observe that the desktop application for stock investment still has not experienced much development in the last 10 years. Therefore, we present a modern, sophisticated, and interactive Stockbit Desktop App that makes the stock investment experience more attractive to young investors, who when referring to data, represent more than 80 percent of the total stock investors in Indonesia. For information, this Desktop App is 100 percent made by the Stockbit team, not by vendors," explained Stockbit Founder & CEO Wellson Lo, quoted Friday, March 2.

Wellson added, Stockbit Desktop App is not only intended for Windows users, but also provides a modern and sophisticated multi-sport trading experience for MacOS users.

"This is special because previously MacOS users did not have the option to trade stocks with seamless experiences via the desktop app," he said.

Investors investing in stocks through Stockbit welcome this innovation that has been waiting for.

I like the modern look. Rarely there is an Desktop App whose layout we can customize according to our trading style needs. With Desktop App, I believe Stockbit will progress and become the main choice for stock investors in Indonesia," said Michael Yeoh, who is a trader and stock analyst.

The same thing was also expressed by Yoga Arsana, who is a professional trader.

"This Stockbit Desktop App has a very prominent fresh view among desktop apps from other securities. Very recommendd for traders," he said.

Related to the feature, Wellson said that Desktop App Stockbit offers some excellent features. First, with customizable layouts, users can create their own layout according to their preferences. Each layout created will also be saved automatically in the cloud so that users are free to replace the devices they use without fear of losing the layout they have created.

Furthermore, Stockbit Desktop App provides a wide selection of templates, ranging from Multi-Chart, Multi-Orderbook, Single-Stock to Classic. Finally, in terms of carrying out trading activities, Stockbit Desktop App presents Advanced Orderbooks that help users carry out direct actions from their Orderbooks, for example buying and selling shares, checking orders queues, doing emergency orders and canceling orders to further stock analysis.

On the other hand, President Director of PT Stockbit Sekuritas Digital, Megawati Andrew Soewardi, said that Stockbit is committed to continuing to support Indonesia's Stock Exchange efforts in increasing the number of capital market investors, which are closely related to financial inclusion, while ensuring that investors are properly educated.

"After inaugurating the Digital Investment Gallery in January 2024, now Stockbit presents the Desktop App whose spirit is to make the investment experience more modern and increase community participation, especially the younger generation, in the capital market," concluded Megawati.
