Terminal

Everything in one view

What the Terminal is

The Terminal is Optionomics’ multi-panel workspace: one browser layout where you can keep a price chart, a live flow stream, unusual prints, options-derived levels, a scanner, your watchlist, and alert notifications in sync around a single symbol (or a default index symbol) without juggling a dozen tabs.

It is built for traders who want tight feedback loops during the session: change the symbol once, and the chart, flow tables, and many overlays follow. If your style is slower or you mostly study end-of-day structure, you may still use Terminal for earnings week or event days when context density matters.

Availability: Gamma plan and higher ($59/month+)

Layout mental model

Although the UI evolves, think of the Terminal in three bands:

  1. Top — Market context (indices, quick gauges) so you know whether you are trading with or against the broad tape.
  2. Center — The chart: timeframes, drawings, indicators, and options-specific overlays (flow-based S/R, dark pool, net flow, 0DTE markers, and similar).
  3. Right (or adjacent)Tabbed tools: raw flow, unusual-only flow, derived key levels, notifications from your alert rules, scanner results, and watchlist navigation.

You do not need every tab every day; most traders live in chart + flow + one context tab (levels or scanner).

A typical intraday workflow

  1. Set the symbol from search or watchlist so all panels align.
  2. Glance at market gauges—risk-on vs defensive tone often colors how you read single-name flow.
  3. Scan aggregated flow (bullish/bearish, top calls/puts) for candidates, then click through to load the chart.
  4. Turn on overlays that match your plan (for example flow S/R + net flow) to see whether price is interacting with where options activity clustered.
  5. Use Unusual Activity within the Terminal when you want pre-filtered prints; use Alerts when you need the history of what already fired for your rules.
  6. End the session by noting which levels held or broke—that carries into tomorrow’s daily analytics review.
