Save and load layouts
Keep more than one desk arrangement and switch between them.
The Layouts block at the bottom of the Window Catalog rail shows the layout you’re on and three actions.

Built-in preset
small cap single ships with the desk: Stock Quote, Orders, Positions, Order Entry and four synced charts (5m, 10s, 1m, daily). It’s the default for every new account and is always on the load list — you can’t delete it.
Save your own
- Arrange the windows the way you want.
- Click Save as…, name it, confirm.
- From then on Save layout overwrites that named layout with the current arrangement.
Load
Click Load Layout and pick from the list. The current session keeps running — only the window arrangement changes.
Layouts vs chart templates
A layout is the whole desk. A chart template is one chart, by name, that you can load into any chart window.
| Layout | Chart template | |
|---|---|---|
| Which windows are open, and where | ✓ | — |
| Timeframe, chart type, chart settings | ✓ per window | ✓ |
| Indicators | ✓ per window | ✓ |
| Drawings | — | ✓ |
| Pane heights, magnet, lock and hide | ✓ per window | — |
| Saved | automatically, and by name | by name (⌘+S) |
