Desktop And Main Menu

The HyperionX main window is the control center for charts, accounts, tools, connections, custom code, and workspaces. This page maps each visible area to the job it performs.

Main-window panels

The lower panel contains six views:

View	Use it for
Log	Connection, build, workspace, provider, and runtime messages.
Strategies	Configured desktop strategy instances and their state.
Accounts	Accounts discovered from connected providers and local simulation.
Positions	Current position state reported by the account/provider model.
Orders	Submitted, accepted, working, partially filled, filled, cancelled, rejected, and other order states.
Executions	Fill/execution records received by the platform.

The status bar also shows whether HyperionX has a market-data connection and the current custom-project build state. A connected indicator does not certify that a particular trading account is live, healthy, or safe to use.

For reset, cancel, delete, close, resume, reconciliation, and strategy-template procedures, use Desktop Trading Operations.

New menu

Command	Opens
Chart	A chart after instrument and data-series selection.
MegaDOM	Depth ladder and order-entry workspace.
Level II	Order-book view. This surface is Preview in 1.1.10; see Market-Data Tools.
Time And Sales	Trade-print window. Open it from a chart when real tick provenance is required.
Output	A separate diagnostic/output window.
Strategy	Server-provisioned strategy catalog and configuration; when the service is unavailable, the window can show a demo fallback. This is not the local Code Lab strategy selector.
Strategy Validator	Historical validation across one or more instruments.
Optimizer	Parameter-search workflow with in-sample/out-of-sample periods.
Performance	Saved performance and optimizer-result database.

Tools menu

Command	Purpose
Import	Import C# custom-source files into the Code Lab tree, then compile the complete custom project.
Export	Export a saved strategy template.
Trade Copier	Configure leader/follower copying. This is Beta and not approved for unattended live use in 1.1.10.
Agent Builder	Open the entitlement-gated Rion agent profile editor.
Research Lab	Open the entitlement-gated Preview research workspace.
Reports	Browse generated Rion Autopilot and Strategy Discovery report artifacts.
Rion Strategy Watchlist	Review, promote, or delete Rion strategy-discovery/watchlist output. See Rion Autopilot And Strategy Discovery.
Instruments	Review and manage instrument records.
Instrument Lists	Build reusable groups of instruments.
Code Lab	Launch the C# custom-development environment.
Output	Open platform diagnostics.
Options	Configure display, preferences, historical data, futures rollover, email, project, server/API, and optimizer settings exposed by the build.

Historical data import

The Tools > Import dialog imports C# source; it is not the historical market-data importer. Open historical import from the Historical Data area in Options.

Imported C# is executable code. Review it before importing and build in a non-live session first. See Share And Deploy Extensions.

Workspaces menu

Use Open, Save, Save As, and Manage to restore supported layout/configuration state. Workspaces do not checkpoint live trading state or active research jobs. See Save And Restore Workspaces.

Connections menu

Connection definitions appear here after configuration. The visible list mixes current, preview, data-only, and unavailable integrations, so use Feature And Provider Status before entering credentials or attempting live routing.

Project menu

Compile rebuilds the entire HyperionX custom source tree. It is an atomic project build, not a one-file test. Disable affected runtime objects before compiling and create fresh instances afterward. See Build, Test, And Debug.

Help menu

Command	Behavior
Support	Opens the HyperionX web help center.
Knowledgebase	Opens the HyperionX web help center.
Updates	Checks the release manifest and, when available, opens the download page in a browser. It is not a silent in-app updater.
Export Logs	Creates a support archive after best-effort redaction. Inspect it before sharing.
Export RAPI Logs	Exports Rithmic diagnostics when that option is available.
About	Shows the installed desktop version.

A safe first session

1. Open Connections and configure only a provider listed for your intended capability.
2. Connect and confirm the provider in Log.
3. Open a chart and verify historical then live updates.
4. Select an explicit LocalPaper account for simulation.
5. Submit and cancel a small simulated order.
6. Save a named workspace.
7. Export logs once so you know where the support workflow is before an incident.

Continue with Getting Started, Accounts And Trading Environments, Desktop Trading Operations, or the Developer Center.
