Docking, tabs, floating panels, multi-monitor, multi-DOM, link groups, and the built-in desk presets.
Everything in the desktop terminal is a panel — a chart, a DOM ladder, a news feed, a macro tile. Panels live in a docking workspace that you rearrange by dragging:
The active panel is highlighted so you always know where keyboard focus is, and each dock area has its own close button.
The Add Panel menu is the full catalog, grouped by workflow: Trading, Charts, Indicators, Order Flow, Options, Risk, Quant, Performance, Macro, and Workflow. The Macro group alone holds 70+ data panels, so it's split again — Rates & Curve, Liquidity & Central Banks, Growth & Inflation, Credit & Stress, Fiscal & Government, Global & FX, Equities & Breadth, Positioning & Options, Catalysts & Securities, and Crypto & Energy.
Faster than the menu: press Ctrl+P for the command palette (also under File › Command Palette…) and type the panel name — every panel in the catalog is registered there. Press Ctrl+K for symbol search.
The core order-flow surfaces also have direct shortcuts: Ctrl+Alt+D for the DOM, Ctrl+Alt+F for the Footprint, Ctrl+Alt+T for TPO.
The DOM is multi-instance. The first time you press Ctrl+Alt+D (or pick Add Panel › Order Flow › DOM V2), the DOM opens. Every press after that spawns a new, independent ladder pinned to whatever symbol is active at that moment — so you can stack ES, NQ, and CL ladders side by side, each with its own live depth subscription.
DOM · ES, DOM · NQ — and keeps its own symbol. It deliberately does not follow symbol linking, so switching symbols elsewhere never hijacks your wall.Multi-DOM preset (see below) builds a four-ladder wall in one click: ES · NQ · QQQ · SPY, side by side, full height. Re-applying the preset reuses the same four ladders instead of piling up extras.You don't have to build a layout panel by panel. The Presets menu holds dozens of pre-built desks, grouped into Trading, Macro & Rates, Research, Order Flow, and Options & Vol. One click rebuilds the whole workspace; a checkmark tracks which preset is active. A sample:
Command Center | Order flow (DOM/T&S) left, chart + world map center, sector treemap / watchlist / breadth right, wide news feed bottom. This is the desk a fresh install lands on. |
Wall of Data | Max density — nine live panels tiled 3×3: DOM, chart, time & sales, watchlist, macro, news, breadth, sectors, yields. |
Day Trader | Chart + Footprint + TPO center, DOM + time & sales right, positions + orders bottom. |
Multi-DOM | Four live depth ladders side by side — ES · NQ · QQQ · SPY — each on its own symbol. |
Options Desk | Chart + options chain center, vol term structure + vol surface left, Greeks + vol cone right. |
Global Macro | World map center, breadth + internals left, macro + yield curve right, sectors + econ calendar + FX bottom. |
Filings Radar | The regulatory-filings event wall: buyback / spin-off / bond-issuance tapes beside the distress flags — bankruptcies, restatements, going-concern. |
Ag Balance | The grain balance wall: weekly corn / soy / wheat export sales (demand) beside quarterly grain stocks (supply). |
Sovereign Debt | Government debt-to-GDP tiled across the G7 + China + EM — the sovereign-risk board. |
There are many more — rates, credit, FX, energy, labor, earnings, short-squeeze, volatility, and morning-brief desks among them — plus Minimal (a single chart) if you'd rather build your own from scratch. A preset is a starting point, not a cage: apply one, then drag, split, and float until it's yours.
What the terminal opens on: the order-flow DOM (footprint + liquidity heatmap built in) big in the CENTER; the Chart over the policy stream (central-bank speeches + regulatory wire tabbed) on the LEFT; and Correlated Markets — the traded symbol's complex (XLK/QQQ on an NQ day) plus all eleven S&P sectors sorted by day move, live quotes + relative strength + real 1m-return correlation — over the watchlist over the Gamma Stream ladder on the RIGHT, with Bank Stress tabbed behind it.

Beyond dragging individual panels to other screens, Window › Multi-Monitor automates the whole desk:
Detach All Panels (Ctrl+Shift+F11) floats every open panel and tiles them across all connected monitors in one shot.Command Center (Multi-Monitor) puts order flow + execution on monitor 1, world map + macro context on monitor 2, and deep analytics on monitor 3; Trading Trifecta splits charts / order flow / macro across three screens; Dual: Chart + Flow is the two-monitor version. Screens you don't have fall back to your primary monitor, so they degrade gracefully on smaller setups.Pop Active Panel → Monitor 2 (one entry per detected screen) sends the focused panel to a specific monitor without any dragging.Symbol linking keeps panels in sync: click a row in a watchlist or a scanner and the linked chart, DOM, and time & sales follow. Links are organized into colored channels so one desk can run several independent groups at once.
None, Amber (the default), Green, Red, Blue, Violet, Lime, or Cyan.None unlinks a panel completely — useful for the extra DOM ladders or a reference chart you want pinned.A typical split: scalping owns the chart + DOM on monitors 1–2 (Amber), while a swing chart on monitor 3 sits on Green and never gets dragged along. Channel assignments are saved with your workspace and restored on the next launch.
The workspace autosaves every 30 seconds and again on exit — window geometry, the dock layout, which panels are open, chart studies, and link-group assignments. Relaunch the terminal and your desk comes back exactly as you left it. Ctrl+S (Window › Save) forces a save any time.
The Window menu also gives you:
Save Layout As… / Load Layout / Manage Layouts… — keep multiple named layouts (a morning desk, an FOMC desk, a scalping wall) and switch between them without rebuilding.Export Workspace to JSON… / Import Workspace from JSON… — a portable file copy of your workspace, for backups or moving between machines. Load from file… (Ctrl+O) loads a saved workspace file directly.Reset to defaults — wipe the layout and start clean if you've docked yourself into a corner.
