The Spaces Navigation bar is the backbone of the Flows.Trading interface.
Located on the left side of the application, it gives you access to all major functional areas — called Spaces.
Each Space represents a key step in your trading workflow:
Trading & Charting Space – analyze markets and place orders.
Journal Space – record, review, and analyze your performance.
Signals Space – discover opportunities through aggregated technical signals.
(More Spaces will be added in future updates, such as portfolio analytics or automation.)
The goal of this design is simple: to let you move between analysis, execution, and review without ever leaving your trading environment.
Why Spaces? #
In most trading setups, you juggle multiple tools: one for charting, one for order execution, another for journaling or analytics.
Flows.Trading unifies them through a Space-based architecture, so each Space focuses on one trading function but stays connected to the others.
Consistency: a familiar layout and control scheme across all Spaces.
Focus: each Space only shows what’s relevant to its workflow — no clutter, no distractions.
Continuity: data flows seamlessly between Spaces (e.g. trades executed in the Charting Space appear instantly in your Journal).
Spaces create a mental and functional separation that mirrors how professional traders think: analyze → act → evaluate → learn.
The Navigation Bar #
The navigation bar is your control center for switching between Spaces.
Layout #
Located on the left edge of the interface.
Each Space is represented by an icon and label.
Clicking an icon instantly loads the selected Space in the main workspace.
At the bottom of the bar, you’ll find:
Collapse button: hide or expand the bar for more charting space.
Status indicator: shows connection status (e.g. “Connected” when linked to a broker).
Navigation Behavior #
Switching between Spaces is instant and persistent — each one remembers its previous layout and settings.
The platform saves your last active Space automatically, so reopening Flows.Trading resumes where you left off.
