The Day Trading Workcentre desk in PlexiiDesk: a Daily game plan page with a pre-market checklist, a Max daily loss field set to 500, a yellow Hard rules sticky, a Position size calculator, a Post-market review page and a Trade journal table with its six views.

What is on the desk

  • Daily game plan

    Page

    Market sessions, a pre-market checklist you tick off, today’s thesis, the setups you will take and the events to stay out of.

  • Max daily loss ($)

    Field, number

    One number, in view all day.

  • Hard rules

    Sticky

    Your rules, short and yellow, next to everything else.

  • Position size calculator

    Calc

    A calculator beside the rules, for working out size before you enter.

  • Trade journal

    Table

    One row per trade: date, symbol, asset class, direction, setup, entry, stop and exit. The same rows show as Table, List, Cards, Kanban, Calendar or Gantt.

  • Watchlist

    Table

    Each symbol with its catalyst, support and resistance.

  • Post-market review

    Page

    An end-of-day checklist, what went well, what to fix and the plan for tomorrow.

  • Market pages

    Browser

    Eight browser work widgets, each a live website: TradingView charts, the Finviz screener and copper futures, Reuters, Google News, the Investing.com economic calendar, CoinGecko and the U.S. EIA weekly petroleum page.

Both pages have AI draft, which writes a section you review before it goes in, and Make living, which turns a page into a summary that keeps up with the rest of the desk. These use Plexii’s AI, which runs on Plexii credits or your own Anthropic key: how AI is paid for.

Tiled in the Workcentre

Workcentre is a view of a desk. It lays every work widget out as a tile on one grid, and each tile shows all of its content, so nothing sits behind a tab you have to find mid-session.

Drag a tile by its title to move it, and pull an edge to resize it. Hide the tiles you do not need today: they stay on the desk, and Show all brings them back. The layout is saved on your computer.

The small print

TradingView, Finviz, Reuters, Google News, Investing.com, CoinGecko and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) are their own websites, shown as they appear in Plexii’s browser work widgets. Plexii is not affiliated with them.

Plexii is a workspace app, not a broker, and gives no financial advice. The checklists, rules and table rows on this desk are examples.
