Quant Desk workspace

Stat-arb cockpit: a pairs scanner over its live spread, regime + correlation context left, cointegration + dynamic hedge ratio right, and spread/causality/regime diagnostics across the bottom

Use it when: Building or monitoring a spread, and any week the relationships you rely on stop behaving.

The rest of this desk is spread work. If you only trade one instrument outright, most of it will sit unused.

• 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.
• 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 pairs scanner over its live spread: candidates first, then the actual z-score of the one you care about.
• 2. Regime and correlation on the left for the context that decides whether mean reversion is even the right model right now.
• 3. Cointegration and the dynamic hedge ratio on the right - whether the relationship is statistically real, and what ratio holds it.
• 4. The spread, causality and regime diagnostics along the bottom for the health check.

The tell: A wide z-score in a broken cointegration is not an opportunity, it is a relationship ending. Check the cointegration test before the spread chart, in that order, every time.

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

• Cointegration (Engle-Granger ADF)
• Correlation Matrix (N×N heatmap)
• Granger Causality (lead-lag)
• HMM Regime (EM + Viterbi)
• Kalman Hedge Ratio (dynamic β)
• Pair Spread (z-score, mean-reversion)
• Market Regime Classifier
• Spread Chart (Pair trading + Z-score)
• Stat-Arb Scanner (cross-pair Z-score)

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

• API Trading for Retail: Broker APIs Explained

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