Settrade Debuts Rebuilt Streaming App for Thai Traders

Settrade has launched a rebuilt version of Streaming, the mobile trading application used by Thai investors through participating brokerages. The release rebuilds the application across both its front and back ends, adding tools for security discovery, company comparisons, estimated trading costs, and derivatives order types.

The updated mobile application lets investors search for securities by company name or keyword instead of entering a ticker symbol. Users can review market and corporate data alongside one another to evaluate multiple securities within a single screen flow. Before an order is submitted, a redesigned interface calculates estimated expenses as well as projected profit or loss. For participants in the Thailand Futures Exchange, known as TFEX, the platform adds Take Profit and Stop Loss order settings.

Amatee Prapapant, managing director of Settrade, said the release "goes beyond a visual redesign," focusing on investors' changing needs to make "every step easier, from accessing information and analysis to trading." She pointed to faster performance and higher data-security protections, adding that the company plans to continue developing the platform.

Separate app and transition timeline

Streaming New operates as an independent mobile application rather than an in-place update to the earlier software. Settrade stated in an FAQ that users may run both versions during the migration period, with accounts, portfolios, trading limits, and order details synchronized across both releases. Users may only log in to one mobile version at a time. The initial rollout applies to mobile devices, leaving existing personal computer access on the current software. Settrade expects to discontinue the older application by March 2027.

Several tools remain under active development and have not yet arrived on the new application, according to the FAQ. These include recurring investment plans, a stock screening tool, alerts, market news, and specific tablet features.

The application is distributed through Apple's App Store and Google Play for clients who hold an account with a participating broker. Settrade has scheduled an in-person showcase, Streaming Day 2026: SHIFT TO NEW!, on November 22 from 9:00 to 15:00 at the Stock Exchange of Thailand.

Shifting retail landscape in Thailand

The revised application enters a market where competitors offer access to foreign assets, extended hours, and alternative mobile distribution channels. Webull entered Thailand with research tools and trading in United States equities, later introducing 24-hour US stock access as well as US equity options. Webull also acquired Pi Securities. In another distribution model, TrueMoney and DriveWealth offer US shares inside a digital wallet through a locally licensed Thai brokerage.
