The settings menu

The settings menu is the gear icon top-right (or the SETTINGS verb). Every preference persists per-browser-profile. This page walks the menu top-to-bottom, what each section controls and which to bother with first.

Display

  • Theme, several built-in presets ship with the terminal, plus a fully custom option. The Theme tab exposes a colour picker for every individual token (background, card, border, text, accent, positive, negative) so you can build your own from scratch. Custom themes are saved with your settings and exported via Backup.
  • Font family, JetBrains Mono · Fira Code · IBM Plex Mono · Source Code Pro · Inter. Affects every panel. JetBrains is the default for a reason, the dense data tables read well at small sizes.
  • Font scale, 0.85× to 1.25×. Workspace-wide zoom on text only. Useful on 4K monitors where the default is too small, or 24" 1080p monitors where it's too big.
  • Density, Compact / Normal / Comfortable. Independent of font scale. Affects header height, internal padding, and table row spacing. Compact buys you screen real estate; comfortable improves readability on a smaller monitor.
  • Title mode, Short ("GEX") or Full ("Gamma Exposure BTC") on every panel header. Short for power users who already know the verbs; Full for newcomers.
  • Reduced motion, disables transitions and tour animations. Recommended if you're sensitive to motion or running on a low-end machine.

Workspace

  • Layout mode, Grid (snap to a 12-column grid) or Free (drag panels anywhere with z-order). Grid is the default and what most users keep.
  • Layout lock, prevent accidental drag/resize. Toggle from settings or from the lock icon in the status bar. Useful when you've dialed in a layout and don't want to bump it.
  • Workspace tabs position, Top (under the top bar) or Bottom (above the status strip). Personal preference; some traders like tabs near their thumbs on a tall monitor.
  • Confirm clear, modal before clearing the workspace. Default on. Worth keeping.
  • Default symbol, BTC · ETH · SOL · HYPE. The ticker that fills in when you omit one (e.g. just PRICE instead of PRICE BTC).
  • Pinned commands, the six chips on the command rail. Click each to toggle; reorder by dragging. Six slots is the cap for visual legibility.
  • Tick mode, Normal / Battery (slow polling) / Paused (no polling). Battery throttles each topic to one tick every ~5s to reduce bandwidth and CPU; Paused freezes everything until you toggle back. Useful on metered connections or laptop battery.
  • Command key, the key that opens the command bar. Default `; rebind to /, k, or any single character if backtick conflicts with your input method.

Locale

  • Timezone, UTC, NY, Chicago, LA, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, HK, SG, Dubai, Sydney. Drives the status-bar clock and the trading-sessions pill timing. DST is handled automatically.
  • Time format, 24h or 12h on the status-bar clock and session pills.
  • Number format, US (1,234.56) · EU (1.234,56) · Space (1 234,56). Affects every numeric display.
  • Decimal precision, 0 to 6. Applied to prices and greeks on the chain and tile displays.

Backup

Two independent exports. Both download as JSON files you can re-import anywhere.

  • Settings JSON, theme, font, density, locale, default symbol, pinned commands, command key. Portable across browsers; import is a hot-swap, no reload required.
  • Workspace JSON, all open panels, layouts, free-mode positions, color groups, per-panel state. Useful for moving a desk between machines, or sharing a layout with another trader.

Documentation

The settings popover also carries Docs and Cheatsheet links, these open this site (the long-form docs) and the in-app printable function reference in new tabs. Convenient when you're mid-workflow and want a reference without losing your panels.

Reset to defaults

The button at the bottom wipes all settings, theme, font, locale, defaults, pinned commands, command key. Workspaces and panels are not affected. Use Backup → Export first if you've tuned a setup you want back.

Closing out: workspace mechanics, panels, layouts, color groups, keyboard shortcuts.
