Workspaces: 1 tabfor every job you do.
A good trading workspace shows you exactly what you need for 1 job, and nothing else. In Prime Terminal you build workspaces as tabs: 1 for your morning check, 1 for positioning, 1 for the next event.
Set them up once, then switch between them in 1 click.
Ready-made workspaces
Market Check: Macro Briefing and Realtime Headlines. Dumb Money: DMX retail positioning. Smart Money: COT and the Smart Bias Tracker. The Event: the calendar and the Scenario Desk.
Build your own
Add any widget, choose a layout from 1 chart to a 4x4 grid and save it as a template. Many traders add a workspace per strategy or per market.
Use it in real trading
The tool informs the decision, it never makes it. Here is how it plays out on real trading days.
You open Market Check, then Smart Money. 2 tabs, 3 minutes.
You switch to The Event 30 minutes before the number and keep it open until the reaction is clear.
Mistakes to avoid
- Putting 20 widgets on 1 screen.
- Not saving layouts that work.
- Building a workspace around tools you do not use.
What makes it different
Workspaces are built around routines, so the layout follows how you trade, not the other way round.
