Working with Panels

Everything in the terminal happens inside a panel. This page covers adding, arranging, and closing them — the mechanics shared by every module.

Adding a panel

1. 1
   Open the Add Panel menu

   Use the Add Panel control in the workspace toolbar. It lists every module you can open.

2. 2
   Pick a module

   Choose the module you want — Chart, Option Chain, Watchlist, Heatmap, and more.

3. 3
   The panel opens beside the current one

   New panels dock next to your active panel. Drag the tab afterwards to move it wherever you like.

The full set of modules includes:

Opening a panel for a specific symbol

You rarely need to add a blank panel and then search. From most lists you can open a module pre-loaded with the symbol you're looking at:

• Watchlist — hover a row and click the Chart, Option Chain or Time & Sales button, or right-click the row for the same actions.
• Heatmap — hover a tile to get the same quick-open buttons.
• Option Chain — hover a CE/PE cell to open a chart or time & sales for that exact contract, or add it to a watchlist.

Arranging panels

• Move: drag a panel's tab and drop it where you want it.
• Split: drop a tab against an edge to put two panels side by side or stacked.
• Stack as tabs: drop a tab onto another panel's header.
• Resize: drag the divider between groups.

Renaming, cloning and closing

Each panel header gives you actions for that panel:

• Rename — give a panel a custom title (handy when you have several charts).
• Clone — duplicate a panel with its current settings.
• Close — remove the panel. Closing the last panel in a group removes the group and reflows the layout.
