Quick start

Trading Konsole is the single cockpit for intraday futures trading: order flow, L2 liquidity, GEX and the 0DTE options structure on one dense screen. You trade futures. The options are read for analysis and drawn on the futures chart: on Pro, the CME options on ES and NQ from your own Rithmic; on Desk, also the QQQ and SPY 0DTE options served by us.

First launch: sign in to your account

On first launch the app asks you to accept the terms, then shows Sign in to Trading Konsole. Every plan needs an account, Free included, and it is free:

1. Press Sign in with your browser: your browser opens on the sign-in page.
2. Sign in with email and password, or with Google. No account yet? You create one on the same page; if you sign up with your email, confirm the address from the link you receive.
3. The page asks you to confirm that Trading Konsole on this computer will use your account: press Allow and go back to the app.

Your plan arrives by itself: if you bought Pro or Desk with that email, the licence is applied with nothing to type; otherwise you start on Free. The app never sees your password.

• Offline on first launch, the app starts on Free for that time and asks you to sign in again at the next launch. The same goes for Continue on Free this time, which appears if the sign-in does not finish.
• Settings › License shows your account, with Check now and Sign out. The key field stays: you need it, for example, for a licence bought with another email.
• Paid plans work on two devices, Free on as many as you like. To move to another computer, sign out of the old one, in the app (Settings › License › Sign out) or from your account, and sign in on the new one: the slot frees itself.

Connect your account

Market data and accounts come from your own Rithmic login, the one your prop firm or broker gave you. Add it with New connection, under the accounts in the sidebar: the steps are in Connect your Rithmic account.

Finding your way

Everything happens on one page, the Workspace:

• Sidebar (left): Accounts, each with its P&L and marked Live or Paper; the New connection button; Markets, the futures with their price (click one to show it in the open tab). At the bottom: the LIVE / OFFLINE status of the data, Guide and Settings.
• Tabs (top): each tab is a layout of panels. A fresh install opens on Trading: an NQ chart with the Trader on the right and the Account below. + opens the workspace menu (new tab, add a panel, new window), the layout button changes how the tab is split.
• Panels: an empty panel asks What goes here? and opens the library, grouped into Charts, Order flow, Options & GEX and Trading. The menu on a panel’s title changes what it shows.

Settings holds the theme, the chart, risk, connections, options, licence and the other sections. From here you can move on to the guides for each area: the composable Workspace and paper trading.
