Charts & workspaces

Beyond time bars: range (a bar per N ticks of travel), volume (per N contracts), trade (per N prints), delta (per N contracts of imbalance), vol bars (travel then pull-back) and renko. All are built from raw stored ticks rather than resampled from minute data — a range bar resampled from one-minute data cannot know where inside that minute the range completed, so its opens and closes are wrong.

Pick one from the chart-type menu, type its size once, and the interval box becomes the size box — changing a 40-tick range chart to 60 is typing where it says RANGE. Picking any candle type takes you back to time bars.

Turn it on from the right-click menu and every window follows your cursor: hold the crosshair on a price and moment in the chart and the heatmap marks the same instant, and the other way round. Chart in one window, book in another, one point in time.

One shared clock puts the whole platform into replay: every chart, pop-out and instrument advances together, so the heatmap and the footprint stay on the same instant. Tick mode rebuilds bars print by print.

Your whole desk — chart windows, heatmap windows, their geometry and their panel state. Workspaces are named, so you can keep several — a scalping desk, a review desk — and switch between them; the last-opened one restores at launch. They are local to the machine.

The launch window. Charts, heatmaps and the feed monitor all open from one place, with a live CME session clock in the footer. Closing it exits the application; closing a chart window does not stop the feed.

Yes. Windows are per-instrument and the command center launches as many as your machine will carry.
