Your first session

The fastest way to learn the pro terminal is to run it. This page walks you through a concrete ten-minute setup: open four panels, group them by colour, save the layout, replay it tomorrow.

0. Open the workspace

Navigate to /pro. You'll see the empty workspace with the command bar at the top. The first time you load it, an onboarding spotlight tour runs, let it; it points out the surfaces this page describes.

1. Spawn your first panel

Press ` to focus the command bar. Type:

STUDY BTC

Hit Enter. The Study panel spawns into the grid. It carries BTC perp candles up top and an OI sub-pane underneath by default. Drag the header to move it; drag the bottom-right corner to resize it.

2. Add three more

GEX BTC
LEVELS BTC
SUMMARY BTC

Three more panels: the GEX strike profile, the levels list (HVL / walls / 0DTE top-10 / max pain), and the per-expiry summary table. Run them one at a time, drag each into a corner you like.

3. Group them by colour

Click the small grey chip in any panel's header. A colour picker appears. Pick the same colour for all four panels.

That's a color group. Panels in the same group share their symbol, change the symbol on one and the others follow. Try it: in the Study panel header, switch the symbol from BTC to ETH. The GEX, LEVELS, and SUMMARY panels all flip with it.

4. Save the layout

You now have a four-panel desk. Save it so you can come back to it tomorrow:

SAVE morning

The current panels + their positions + their colour groups are stored under the name morning. Tomorrow:

LAYOUT morning

Restores the same desk. Layouts persist per-browser-profile. Export to JSON via Settings → Backup → Workspace if you want to move them between machines.

5. Workspaces, not just layouts

The strip at the top (or bottom, your choice in Settings) is workspaces. Each workspace is a fully independent panel layout. Build "morning routine" in one tab, "options-only" in another, "macro" in a third, flip between them like browser tabs. Right-click a tab for rename / duplicate / clear / close.

Layouts are templates. Workspaces are running instances. Different concept; both useful.

6. The two commands you'll memorise

  • HELP, opens the help panel. Lists every command grouped by category, with a search box and a getting-started block. Your reference at any point.
  • FLDS (or F1), the searchable function index overlay. Type a noun (gamma, volatility, flow), see every command that matches, click to run.

See the dedicated HELP and FLDS page for the differences and when to use which.

What's next

You have a working desk and you know how to add to it. Three natural follow-ups:
