Building a Multi-Monitor Crypto Trading Desk: Tear-Off, Link & Lock
Crypto watching is intense and 24/7 — one screen isn't enough. The desktop tear-off is native (the web only fakes it with multiple browser windows); windows stay linked and the whole layout saves and restores.
Tear-off and lock
- On a chart tab, choose split to a new window; the chart becomes an independent OS window;
- Drag it to the target display and maximize; repeat for watchlists, depth and the alert log;
- In window settings, lock to display so each returns to its screen after a restart.
Three-screen setup
- Screen 1 — execution: main chart + trading panel + order-book depth;
- Screen 2 — analysis: a 4-chart multi-timeframe (W/D/4H/1H);
- Screen 3 — scanning: watchlist + funding/OI panels + alert log.
Give windows the same link group so changing the coin on one changes them all — click a row and every screen switches together.
Tip: the more screens, the more GPU acceleration helps. Save a named layout for the multi-screen setup, switch to single-screen on a laptop, and restore in one click. Download desktop.
