# Interface Overview

> Learn the layout of the Trading Terminal.

<Info>
  **The Trading Terminal is organized into four main areas.**

  Each area handles a specific function: discovering tokens, viewing charts, executing trades, and analyzing data.
</Info>

## Main Layout

The Trading Terminal interface is divided into four key sections:

### Left Sidebar: Recent Calls

</Frame>

The collapsible left sidebar displays your **Recent Calls**, a real-time feed of alpha signals from your connected Discord, Telegram, and X sources. It also shows activity from your [tracked wallets](/shuriken-terminal/wallet-signals), so on-chain moves appear right alongside social calls.

* Click any token to load it in the main view
* See key metrics at a glance: market cap, liquidity, transaction count
* Quick-buy buttons for market orders directly from the feed

### Main Area: Charts

<Frame>

The center of the terminal displays candlestick charts for the selected token.

* Multiple timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D)
* Volume indicators
* **Alpha Call Bubbles** showing when signals fired for this token
* **Trade Bubbles** showing your buy/sell transactions on the chart

### Bottom Table: Token Data

The bottom section provides detailed token information across multiple tabs:
