Widgets & modules overview

What widgets are

Widgets are the small windows to the left and right of the chart: order book, trade tape, watchlist, news, paper trading and much more. They sit in two columns that you can fill as you like.

• Two columns: to the left and right of the chart. By default, only the right one is filled, and what's in it depends on the symbol's asset class (see below).
• Up to 4 widgets per column. If you try to move a widget into a full column, the terminal reports “Maximum of 4 widgets per side”.
• Most widgets follow the chart. When you change the symbol, Price, Derivatives, Liquidity, Options and the like immediately show the new one. Watchlist, Scanner, News & calendar, Prediction markets and ETF flows have their own selection, independent of the chart.
• Live widgets use your exchange selection. Price, Liquidity, Volume statistics and Liquidations only read the exchanges you've enabled in the top bar under Exchange aggregation.

Columns by asset class

An order book makes no sense for a stock, and company financials make none for Bitcoin. That's why each asset class has its own column setup. If you switch the chart from crypto to a stock, the columns swap to the stock widgets; when you switch back, your crypto setup is there again.

• Every stock shows the same widgets in the same order. If a company is missing a figure, such as the dividend yield when it pays none, it shows “—” and the arrangement stays the same.
• What you change applies to the asset class. If you add a widget on a stock, all stocks have it from then on; your crypto columns stay as they are. This is saved with the workspace.
• In the widget menu, widgets without data for the current asset class are dimmed, with the note “No data for stocks”. The column width is the same for all classes so that the chart doesn't jump when you switch.

All widgets

The order matches the widget menu.

The three stock widgets appear in the widget menu under their own heading, STOCKS · COMPANY FINANCIALS.

You can use the order book and trade tape more than once, for example once for spot and once for perps. All other widgets exist only once.

Adding widgets

1. Click Widgets in the top bar.
2. In the WIDGETS list, click a widget. It goes into the right column first and, if that's full, into the left one.
3. The menu closes and a message confirms what was added.

To the right of each entry, you see where the widget currently is: + Add, Left or Right. For the order book and trade tape, it says + Add another as long as one is already there.

• If you click a widget that's already there, you remove it. The menu then stays open.
• If both columns are full, the new widget replaces the bottom one in the right column.
• A second order book or trade tape automatically gets the other market than the first one (spot instead of perps or vice versa), and its settings open right away so that you can tell the two apart.

It's faster through the super search (CtrlK, Mac: CmdK): type the widget's name and choose “Toggle widget: …” or, for the order book and trade tape, “Add widget: …”. AltW turns the watchlist on and off.

Arrangements

At the top of the widget menu, ARRANGEMENT offers ready-made splits with small preview images:

Your existing widgets keep their order (first the right ones, then the left ones). If there are empty slots, the terminal fills them with widgets in menu order, so first Price, then Order book, Trade tape, Watchlist and so on, but only with those that have data for the chart's asset class. If an arrangement has fewer slots than you have widgets, the extra ones are dropped. Chart only removes all widgets. An arrangement applies to the asset class currently on the chart.

The widget header

Every widget has a header at the top with these parts, from left to right:

• Title with icon, name and a short line after it, such as “Perps” for Price or “Top gainers” for Scanner. Clicking it opens the swap menu.
• Free area for grabbing and dragging.
• Open in a separate window (arrow out of a box).
• Gear for the widget settings, only on widgets that have any.
• × removes the widget.

If a name is too long for the column width, the header makes room: first the short line disappears, then “Open in a separate window” moves to the swap menu, and “Long/short positioning” is shortened to “Long/Short”.

Swapping widgets

1. Click the widget's title.
2. Under SWAP WITH, choose another widget.

After the entries, you see what will happen:

• ✓ marks the widget currently in this slot.
• Swap places: The widget is already somewhere else. The two swap places, and neither is lost.
• another: An order book or trade tape is already there, and you get another one here.
• With no note, the chosen widget replaces the current one in this slot. The current one is then removed.

The same menu also has Move right or Move left and, in red, Remove widget.

Moving and resizing

Moving with the mouse: Grab the free area in the widget header and drag the widget to its new place. A line shows where it will land. If a column is empty, dashed Drop on the left and Drop on the right fields appear over the chart. You can't drag anything into a full column.

Moving through the menu: Click the title and choose Move right or Move left. The widget goes to the end of the other column.

Height: Drag the divider between two widgets. No widget gets shorter than 110 pixels. Double-clicking a divider distributes the height evenly again.

Width: Drag the inner edge of a column. A column is 260 to 560 pixels wide, by default 320 on the left and 400 on the right. Double-clicking resets the width.

Narrow windows

The chart always keeps a width of at least 440 pixels. If your window gets narrower, both columns first shrink to 260 pixels. If that isn't enough, the left column collapses into a narrow bar with the icons of its widgets, then the right one.

Clicking an icon in the bar opens the column as a window over the chart. Clicking outside it closes it again. The widths you've set stay saved and apply again as soon as there's enough room.

Widget settings

The gear in the widget header opens the widget's settings. They apply only to that particular widget, as the note at the bottom of the window says: “Applies to this widget only. For spot and futures, just add a second one.”

Price, Order book, Trade tape, DOM ladder, Long/short positioning, Prediction markets, Options and Scanner have a gear. The other widgets have their controls directly in the widget, such as tabs or selection buttons. Each widget also remembers this selection on its own.

Hiding instead of removing

In the Layers panel (top bar → Layers, AltShiftL), every widget is listed under Widgets with a switch. Hidden widgets keep their place and their settings but take up no space. A column whose widgets are all hidden disappears completely.

Widgets in a separate window

You can detach any widget into its own browser window, for example for a second monitor.

1. In the widget header, click Open in a separate window.
2. The widget opens in a new window. In the terminal, its place shows “… now runs in its own window. Close it to bring it back.”
3. To bring it back, close the window, click Back to the terminal in it, or click Bring back in the terminal.

The window stays connected to the terminal: symbol, interval and the widget's settings stay in sync in both directions. If you reload the terminal, open windows find it again.

Saving and undo

Which widgets are where, their heights, the column widths and each widget's settings belong to your workspace and are saved with it. More under Workspaces & sharing.

Some data, however, is tied to your account instead of the workspace: the watchlist lists, the paper account, the journal and your ideas. If you're not signed in, watchlist lists, paper account and journal stay in this browser, and you can only read ideas.

On your phone

On a smartphone, the widgets sit in a bar below the chart. A tap opens a widget in the lower part of the screen, and + Widget adds one. Watchlist, Ideas and the Scanner (“Markets”) have their own tabs. Dragging and separate windows aren't available there. More under Mobile.

The modules

Besides the widgets, there are three larger views that open as windows over the terminal:

• Market scanner: all perps as a table or heatmap. Top bar → Scanner. See Market scanner.
• Trading journal: your trades with statistics and a calendar. Top bar → Journal. See Trading journal.

In narrow windows, Journal and other buttons move to the More menu (the three dots). You can also open all modules through the super search: “Open market scanner”, “Open trading journal”.
