Terminal

The Futures Terminal is the main working area of the Futures section in Firedrake.

Use this section when you want to scan futures contracts, open a position with prepared bot settings, monitor active bot-managed deals, review live positions, and look back at recently closed trades without moving between multiple separate pages.

Page layout​

The Terminal combines two parts in one workspace:

  1. TradingView Chart
  2. Terminal tabs

Below the chart, the page is organized into four tabs:

  • Futures Contracts
  • Futures Bots
  • Open Positions
  • Position History

The Terminal is the central operating screen of the Futures module.

What you can do in the Terminal​

The Terminal is designed to support the full working flow around a futures trade:

  • search and filter contracts;
  • review the selected instrument on the chart;
  • open a position using saved Bot Settings;
  • manage an already running bot-managed deal;
  • monitor open positions;
  • review recently closed deals;
  • generate position or deal cards;
  • visualize live orders, order history, and price limits on the chart.

Terminal sections​

For detailed guidance, use the dedicated articles for each part of the Terminal:

  • Terminal Screener — how to filter contracts, save presets, sort the list, and open a position from the screener.
  • Active Bots — how to manage active bot-controlled deals, edit TP/SL/TSL settings, and work with safety orders.
  • Open Positions — how to monitor live positions and close them from the terminal.
  • Position History — how to review recently closed deals inside the terminal.
  • Card Generation — how to create shareable cards for open positions and closed deals.
  • TradingView Chart — how the chart works together with the terminal and what can be visualized on it.

Summary​

Use the Futures Terminal when you want one section that combines:

  • contract screening;
  • chart-based review;
  • trade entry;
  • active deal management;
  • live position monitoring;
  • recent deal history;
  • card generation;
  • chart overlays for orders and limits.

For most users, this is the main operational screen of the Futures module.
