IHSG Slips Back into the Red Zone as Brokerages Abandon Conventional Trading Systems
The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) opened weaker on Thursday, 21 May 2026. By 09:09 WIB, the IHSG had fallen 19.52 points, or 0.31%, to 6,298.98 as selling pressure continued to shadow the domestic stock market. The high market volatility is prompting securities firms to change how investors trade. The conventional trading system with a static display is considered no longer responsive to market moves that change within seconds.
PT Indo Premier Sekuritas (IPOT), for instance, launched a real-time AI-based trading app with a dynamic display targeting young investors. The company says the conventional, static UI struggles to keep up with markets moving in seconds.
“When the market moves in seconds, a static UI and late indicators only yield one result: slow decisions, lagging reactions, and weak trading protections,” said Moleonoto The, President Director & CEO of PT Indo Premier Sekuritas, in a statement on Thursday, 21 May 2026.
He added that young investors today prefer apps that are personal, responsive, and uncomplicated. Therefore, IPOT presents display settings that can be tailored to the user’s needs, from beginners to active traders.
Competition among investment apps is intensifying as retail investor activity rises in a volatile market. A number of brokerages are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence (AI) technology to help investors read the market direction, monitor stock movements, and set trading strategies more quickly.
IPOT also added automatic protection features through a ROBO system that allows investors to set strategies such as stop loss, trailing stop, and take profit automatically. The feature is designed to curb emotional decision-making when the market moves wildly.
Additionally, the issuer’s fundamental data is now packaged in visual and graphical form to be easier for young investors who are accustomed to interactive digital displays.
“IPOT realises that the younger generation is much quicker at spotting trend patterns through a graphical approach rather than dull numeric tables,” said Moleonoto.
