# Terminal

Terminal settings control the trading workspace, order safeguards, chart overlays, shortcuts, confirmations, and which terminal widgets are visible in each saved layout.

## Main settings

<table><thead><tr><th width="159.625">Setting</th><th>What it changes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Orderbook</td><td>Controls bid and ask display style for the active terminal layout.</td></tr><tr><td>Orders</td><td>Sets max slippage and order-fill notifications.</td></tr><tr><td>Chart</td><td>Shows or hides user fill markers on the terminal chart.</td></tr><tr><td>Shortcuts</td><td>Enables keyboard shortcuts for cycling through open positions.</td></tr><tr><td>Confirmations</td><td>Restores safety prompts for terminal and news trading actions.</td></tr><tr><td>Layouts</td><td>Creates, renames, switches, and deletes terminal workspaces.</td></tr><tr><td>Widgets</td><td>Shows or hides terminal blocks in the active layout.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Terminal settings apply to the [Terminal](/features/hyperliquid-trading-terminal.md) tab. Layout and widget choices are saved per terminal layout, so an execution layout can show different blocks than a news-focused layout.

## Orderbook

Use Design to choose how bid and ask depth is arranged.

* Side by Side keeps bids and asks mirrored.
* Stacked places asks above bids with market stats between the books.

Use Display as to choose whether order sizes are shown in the base asset or quote currency.

## Orders

Max Slippage controls the maximum accepted slippage for market order placement, including close-position market orders.

Order Fill Notifications controls whether Proliquid shows a notification when a Hyperliquid order receives a fill. Browser notification behavior is configured in [General settings](/settings/general.md), and fill sounds are configured in [Sound alerts](/settings/sound-alerts.md).

## Chart and shortcuts

User Fills shows your Hyperliquid fills as execution markers on the terminal chart.

Position Shortcuts enables J / K on the terminal to cycle through open positions. This is useful when monitoring multiple positions from the [Positions](/terminal-sections/positions.md) table.

## Confirmations

Confirmation settings restore safety prompts after you choose not to show them.

<table><thead><tr><th width="159.625">Confirmation</th><th>When it appears</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Cancel Orders</td><td>Before sending a cancel order request.</td></tr><tr><td>Close Position</td><td>Before sending a reduce-only market close request.</td></tr><tr><td>Increase / Reduce Position</td><td>Before sending position size market adjustment requests.</td></tr><tr><td>Trade Block Orders</td><td>Before sending orders from the terminal trade block.</td></tr><tr><td>News Trading</td><td>Before sending orders from news ticker quick-trade actions.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Use confirmations when you want an extra review step before fast execution actions.

## Layouts and widgets

Terminal layouts are saved workspaces. Use layouts to switch between different arrangements for charting, execution, portfolio review, or news-driven trading.

Available layout actions:

<table><thead><tr><th width="136.875">Action</th><th>What it does</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Create</td><td>Adds a new terminal layout with the default widget arrangement.</td></tr><tr><td>Rename</td><td>Updates the layout name shown in selectors.</td></tr><tr><td>Delete</td><td>Removes the layout and its saved terminal block arrangement.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Widgets are scoped to the active layout. Turning off News in one layout does not hide News in another layout. Mini Markets is disabled by default and can be enabled from the widget list.

Available widgets:

<table><thead><tr><th width="159.625">Widget</th><th>What it shows</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>News</td><td>The terminal news feed.</td></tr><tr><td>Chart</td><td>The primary trading chart.</td></tr><tr><td>Screener</td><td>The terminal market screener.</td></tr><tr><td>Orderbook</td><td>Live bid and ask depth.</td></tr><tr><td>Account</td><td>Account balances and portfolio details.</td></tr><tr><td>Trade</td><td>The order entry block.</td></tr><tr><td>Mini Markets</td><td>Hyperliquid markets with shared favorites, sorting, and compact one-line labels.</td></tr><tr><td>Bottom Panel</td><td>Positions, orders, balances, history, TWAPs, and chases.</td></tr></tbody></table>
