Energy Desk workspace

Physical-power + energy cockpit: the real-time Grid Price Map (NYISO + CAISO zonal LMP, client-side BYOD) as the hero, with EIA inventories, energy-futures COT positioning, a chart for the crude/gas complex, and macro context

Use it when: When physical power is the story rather than the futures curve.

When the physical market is the story rather than the futures curve - grid constraints, inventories and positioning together.

• Preset strip under the menu bar — one click applies the whole layout. A checkmark tracks which preset is active.
• Or ask for it: show me the energy desk.
• Every panel can be re-pointed at another symbol from its own header, and anything missing is one add <name> away.

• 1. The grid price map first — zonal LMP shows where the constraint actually is.
• 2. EIA inventories and energy-futures positioning beside it.
• 3. The crude/gas chart last, for how the paper market is pricing the physical.

The tell: Zonal price separation is the constraint. A single national number hides it entirely.

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

• Chart Canvas V3
• Cot Report
• Energy
• Grid Lmp

Plus 4 dense sheets — wide tables that carry a whole complex in one upstream call rather than a wall of single-series tiles:

• gas Storage Table
• gie Storage Table
• power Board
• refining Table

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

• What actually moves crude
• Commodity Seasonality Explained

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