Build your workspace

Canvas: your multi-market workspace

Lay markets out as tiles and trade across all of them at once. Add up to 12, resize and reorder, and dock your orders below.

Canvas is where Pro is different from anything else. Instead of opening markets one at a time, you lay them out as tiles and trade across all of them at once. Each tile is a full market: order book, order panel, chart, and its sibling strikes.

The Canvas: many markets as tiles, each a full market with its own book.

Adding markets

Use the search box at the top of the Canvas (Add market, search ticker, event, or title). You can also:

  • Open the Positions or Orders popovers in the toolbar and click any row to drop that market onto the Canvas.
  • Add a market from its full trade view with + Add to Canvas.
  • Add a specific strike from the strikes list.

You can have up to 30 tiles on a Canvas.

Auto-sizing columns

Canvas fits your screen automatically:

  • On a normal monitor, tiles lay out in 2 columns.
  • On an ultrawide monitor, Canvas switches to 3 columns.
  • Tiles are capped at a comfortable width so they never stretch awkwardly on very large displays, extra space stays as open canvas. You can override the column count in Settings.

Panel modes

A chooser in the toolbar controls where the order panel lives:

  • Docked (default): the order panel sits in a rail on the right; clicking a tile makes it the active market and its panel fills the rail.
  • Inline: each tile carries its own order panel, so every market on the Canvas is ready to trade in place.

Resizing and reordering

Turn on layout mode (the first toolbar control) to:

  • Resize any tile by dragging its bottom-right corner. Resized tiles keep the size you set, they’re not affected by the automatic width cap. Double-click the corner to reset.
  • Reorder tiles by dragging the handle in the tile header.

New users start with layout mode on. There’s a one-time hint above the workspace pointing this out; dismiss it with Got it.

The blotter dock

A dock along the bottom of the Canvas shows your positions, orders, and fills without covering any tile’s order book, so you can watch the book and manage your orders at the same time.

Clearing

Clear canvas empties the workspace; it asks for a second click to confirm.
