The Terminal is the trading screen of Origami. It opens on **Terminal** in the top navigation and shows a grid of widgets — chart, Order Book, Manual Orders, positions, orders and bots — that all follow one selected symbol and account. ![Terminal default layout: chart, Order Book, Manual Orders and a Bots / Positions / Balances widget](https://602593284-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FDjboTEEPFNxFhKJ6msZi%2Fuploads%2F4JcgZ5ezppuDH6cgXVdt%2Fterminal-overview-01.png?alt=media) ## What is on the screen | Area | What it does | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Header selectors | Pick the exchange, symbol and account that widgets follow. See [Symbol and account context](#symbol-and-account-context). | | Layout controls | **Add Widget** and **Layouts** menus in the header. See [Layouts and widgets](/terminal/layouts-and-widgets.md). | | Widget grid | A 24-column grid where you drag, resize and stack widgets. Each widget can hold up to 5 tabs. | The default layout contains **Chart Percept**, **Order Book** with a **Market Trades** tab, **Manual Orders**, and one widget with **Bots**, **Open Positions** and **Balances** tabs. ## Widgets Widgets are grouped in the **Add Widget** dialog the same way as below. **Charts** * [Chart Percept](/terminal/charts.md) — price chart with your orders, fills and positions drawn on it. * [Chart TradingView](/terminal/charts.md#chart-tradingview) — TradingView candlestick chart with order and position lines. * [Multi-Chart Scanner](/terminal/charts.md#multi-chart-scanner) — a 2×2 or 3×3 grid of mini charts filled with your largest positions. **Portfolio** * [Open Positions](/terminal/positions.md) — live positions with P\&L, liquidation and breakeven prices, TP/SL. * [Active Orders](/terminal/active-orders-and-history.md) — working orders, including algo orders you can pause, resume and cancel. * [Orders History](/terminal/active-orders-and-history.md#orders-history) — filled and cancelled orders with fees. * [Balances](/terminal/balances.md) — total, available and reserved balances per account. * [Bots](/terminal/bots-and-variables.md) — status and controls of all bots in the project. * [Market Trades](/terminal/market-trades.md) — real-time trade tape for the selected symbol. **Others** * [Manual Orders](/terminal/manual-orders.md) — Limit and Market orders, plus [Chase, TWAP, VWAP](/terminal/algo-orders.md) and [Scaled](/terminal/scaled-orders.md) orders. * [Order Book](/terminal/order-book.md) — bids, asks and depth for the selected symbol. * [DOM](/terminal/dom.md) — price ladder with traded volume and imbalance. * [Variables](/terminal/bots-and-variables.md#variables) — global variables used by grids in the project. ## Symbol and account context The header has two selectors: * **Symbol** — shows **Select an exchange** or **Select a symbol** until you pick one. The picker has a **Search symbol** field, **Spot** / **Futures** switch, exchange chips (**All** or one exchange), and **All** / **Recent** lists with columns **Symbol**, **Exchange**, **24h Change**, **Volume (USDT)** and **Max Lev**. * **Account** — **Choose Account**. Only accounts of the selected exchange are listed. ![Symbol picker with Search symbol, Spot / Futures switch, exchange chips and the symbol list](https://602593284-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FDjboTEEPFNxFhKJ6msZi%2Fuploads%2FLyUjs8DW3pdajsLZK6kG%2Fterminal-overview-02.png?alt=media) Every widget in the **Default** group follows these selectors. Changing the symbol in the header switches the chart, Order Book, DOM, Market Trades and Manual Orders at once; table widgets can filter to the current symbol, exchange or account through their gear menu. ### Colour groups To watch two markets at the same time, move widgets into a colour group. Groups are **Orange**, **Yellow**, **Light Blue**, **Blue**, **Purple** and **Magenta**; each holds its own exchange, symbol and account, independent from the header. 1. Open the widget's tab menu and choose **Change Group**. 2. Pick a colour. The tab shows a dot in that colour. 3. In the same menu choose **Symbol** to set the symbol and account for the group. All widgets in the same colour share the binding, so a Blue Order Book, Blue chart and Blue Manual Orders form a second, independent trading set. **Default** returns the widget to the header selectors. ## Where things live | I want to… | Widget | Page | | ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Place or cancel an order by hand | Manual Orders, Active Orders | [Manual orders](/terminal/manual-orders.md) | | Execute a large order over time | Manual Orders → **Pro** | [Algo orders](/terminal/algo-orders.md), [Scaled orders](/terminal/scaled-orders.md) | | Set take-profit / stop-loss on a position | Open Positions → **TP/SL** | [Open Positions](/terminal/positions.md) | | See fees paid | Orders History → **Fee** | [Active Orders and Orders History](/terminal/active-orders-and-history.md) | | Start or stop a bot from the Terminal | Bots | [Bots and Variables widgets](/terminal/bots-and-variables.md) | | Trade from a phone | Mobile terminal | [Mobile terminal](/terminal/mobile.md) | ## Related * [Layouts and widgets](/terminal/layouts-and-widgets.md) * [Place your first trade](/getting-started/first-trade.md) * [Platform model: Project → Account → Bot → Grid](/concepts/platform-model.md)
