Workspace
The trade page is a windowed workspace: open any combination of the modules below, arrange them however you work, and the layout sticks.
Modules
The Add Module menu on the toolbar is one grid, in alphabetical order, and each tile's tooltip names its category — what the module is for: market data, trading, strategies, prediction markets. The sections below go by category.
Market data
Prices, tape and query results.
| Module | What it does |
|---|---|
| Analyze | Symbol analysis dashboard |
| Chart | Chart with query-based data series |
| DataGrid | Query data displayed in a grid |
| Time & Sales | Real-time trade tape |
| Watchlist | Live quotes for saved symbol lists |
Trading
Order entry, positions and balances.
| Module | What it does |
|---|---|
| Options Chain | Options chain with calls and puts |
| Portfolio | Positions, orders, and balances |
| SuperDOM | Depth-of-market price ladder |
Strategies
Write, test and deploy strategies, and get help with them.
| Module | What it does |
|---|---|
| Agent | AI assistant chat, with tools to pull and analyze market data |
| Backtest | Strategy backtesting lab |
| Editor | Script editor for strategies and indicators |
| Live | Monitor and control live strategy deployments |
Prediction markets
Event contracts, on brokers that offer them (see Brokers).
| Module | What it does |
|---|---|
| Event Browser | Browse prediction-market events; open one to see its outcomes as a ladder and trade either side, or request quotes for size from its sidebar |
Layout & persistence
Modules open as tabs inside windows you can split, resize, and rearrange on the canvas. Drag a module from the toolbar onto the grid to place it in a new window, or drop it into an existing window to add it as a tab. Your entire layout — window positions, open tabs, chart symbols and settings, sidebar state, theme — auto-saves and restores exactly as you left it, across reloads and across devices.
Two ways to work
The first time you sign in, Vectaris asks how you want to drive the workspace. The choice is Settings → Workspace → Trade from, and you can change it any time.
- Sidebar. Files, the order ticket and the assistant are panes beside your modules. There is one order ticket, and a click on a chart price, a ladder level, an option strike or an event outcome fills it in. Your saved workspaces, watchlists and scripts are a file tree in the same sidebar. Choose which panes show, and in what order, under Sidebar Panes, or drag a pane by its titlebar; the list and the sidebar are one order.
- Modules. Every chart, ladder, options chain and tape carries a trade rail under its tab strip: Sell at the live bid, Buy at the live ask, the spread, a size, and your open position with its P&L and a Close. Either button opens the order ticket as a dialog for that module's symbol with the side, size and price filled in, and a click on a price does the same. Research views — Analyze, DataGrid and Watchlist — show symbols but never carry trade buttons. Workspaces are switched from a selector in the toolbar, and the sidebar holds only the assistant — or nothing, if you hide that pane too.
Under either, Settings → Workspace → Sidebar position docks the sidebar on the left or the
right, and Ctrl+B collapses it. The sidebar is yours rather than a workspace's: whether it is
folded, which panes are open, their order and their heights all stay exactly as they are when you
switch workspaces.
Direct Trading Mode
Whichever way you work, trading flows through the order ticket — it resolves your account, symbol and routing before you submit, and a Buy or Sell on a module only opens it. Direct-click trade controls built into individual modules, like the SuperDOM ladder's Direct Trading Mode (trade buttons + click submits) and the Options Chain's submit-on-click, stay off unless you turn them on in that module's own settings; they default to off, so an accidental click on the ladder or chain can't send an order.
