Crypto Desk workspace

Crypto BYOD cockpit: Chart center, Deribit options IV term structure right, multi-exchange perp funding rail bottom — streams live from your own exchange connections

Use it when: Weekends, overnight sessions, and any time you are carrying crypto exposure through an equity close.

Its link to ES and NQ is real but loose: crypto leads risk appetite at the margin, on weekends more than weekdays. Do not trade an index future off it.

• Presets in the menu bar, under the category this desk belongs to — one click applies the whole layout, and a checkmark tracks which one is active.
• Or the command palette on Ctrl+P, which finds it by name.
• Or ask the ship for it: show me crypto.
• Every panel can be re-pointed at another symbol from its own header, and anything the desk does not open is in the Add Panel menu.

• 1. The chart for price, then perp funding across exchanges - persistently positive funding means longs are paying to stay long, which is crowding with a running cost.
• 2. Open interest beside it: rising OI with rising price is new money, rising OI with falling price is trapped positioning.
• 3. The options IV term structure last, for what the derivatives market expects rather than what spot is doing.

The tell: Funding spiking while open interest keeps climbing is the shape a liquidation cascade forms in. It does not say when - it says the fuel is there.

4 panels, read straight from the preset definition in the desktop build:

• Chart
• Perp Funding (Multi-Exchange)
• Crypto Open Interest (OKX perps — BYOD)
• Deribit Crypto Options (IV term structure — BYOD)

These desks assume the theory. If any of it is unfamiliar, the background reading is on the learn side:

• Crypto Market Cycles: Halvings & Liquidity

• All workspace presets — how docking, link groups and saved layouts work.
• Panel reference — what each panel shows, column by column.
