Switch to Dock Layout

Rearrange SignalX panels into a fully customisable docked workspace - drag, split, tab and resize Watchlist, Option Chain, TS Window, Chart and every other widget to match your workflow.

Choosing a Layout on First Load

dashboard_customize

"Choose your workspace layout" screen

The first time you open SignalX, you are asked which workspace layout you want to start with. Pick one and click the button at the bottom to continue. You can switch between layouts any time later.

Fixed Layout

Ready-made chart grids with the watchlist alongside. Pick a preset and start trading right away. Includes multi-chart presets, a pinned watchlist and quick setup.

Dock Layout

Free-form workspace. Drag, split, tab and resize charts and panels anywhere you like.

Compare the two options

The screen shows Fixed Layout and Dock Layout as two cards. Fixed Layout gives you ready-made chart presets, Dock Layout gives you a free-form workspace.

Select Dock Layout

Click the Dock Layout card. It gets highlighted, and the button at the bottom changes to "Continue with Dock Layout".

Click Continue

Click the button at the bottom and your docked workspace opens, ready for you to add panels.

Choose Dock Layout and the button changes to "Continue with Dock Layout".

Switching Layouts Later

Once you have made your first choice, you can change layout at any time from either of these places:

From the stored layout

Use the layout switch icon in the top bar, next to the Trade button, to change between Fixed Layout and Dock Layout directly - no menu digging needed.

From the profile menu

Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Dock Layout" (or "Fixed Layout" to go back). The entire workspace switches over instantly.

Widgets Menu

In Dock Layout, the Widgets button in the top bar gives you everything that lives in the right sidebar in Fixed Layout. Click any item to open it as a panel in your workspace, then dock, tab or float it wherever you want.

Click Widgets in the top bar, then click any item below to add it to your workspace.

Switching back to Fixed Layout? The same tools are available from the right sidebar.

Arranging Panels in Dock Layout

Three moves are all you need: add a panel, drag it by its title tab, and drop it on a highlighted zone.

Add panels from Widgets

Click Widgets in the top bar and choose any tool - Watchlist, Option Chain, TS Window, Price Ladder, Heatmap and more (see the full list above). Each panel opens with its own tab and a close (x) button.

Drag any panel by its header

Click and hold a panel's title tab - Watchlist, Option Chain, TS Window, or Chart - to start repositioning it.

Drop on a highlighted dock zone

As you drag, blue dock-zone indicators appear along panel edges - top, bottom, left, right, or centre (tabbed). Release to snap the panel into place.

What each drop zone does

Top

Panel sits above.

Bottom

Panel sits below.

Left

Panel sits to the left.

Right

Panel sits to the right.

Centre

Joins as a tab.

Switching Back to Fixed Layout

swap_horiz

Same switch, either direction

Use the layout switch in the top bar, or open the profile menu (top-right corner) and select "Fixed Layout", to return to the original locked left/right panel arrangement at any time. Switching back and forth doesn't discard a saved dock arrangement - SignalX remembers your last docked setup and restores it the next time you switch to Dock Layout.

Dock Actions

open_in_new

Float a panel

Use the pop-out icon in a panel's header, or drag the panel outside the workspace, to detach it into its own floating window - useful for multi-monitor setups.

tab

Stack panels as tabs

Drop a panel onto the centre of another to combine them into a single tabbed group, saving screen space.

aspect_ratio

Resize any panel

Drag the border between any two docked panels to resize both simultaneously.

Saving and Managing Workspaces

save

Workspace menu in the top bar

Your arrangement is saved automatically - the "Saved at" indicator at the top shows when it last synced. For more control, open the workspace name dropdown (for example "Default Workspace") in the top bar:

Save layout - save the current arrangement instantly (Ctrl+S).
Make a copy - duplicate the current workspace as a starting point for a variation.
Rename - give the workspace a meaningful name.
Create new layout - start a fresh workspace, for example one for options and another for charting.
Recently used - jump back to any recent workspace; rename or delete from the same list.

tips_and_updates

Options traders often dock Option Chain and TS Window side-by-side above a wide chart panel - arrange it once, save it as its own workspace, and it'll be there whenever you switch back into Dock Layout.
