Trading / Instrument mode

Stocks / Options mode

Switch between stock and options workflows wherever both instruments are supported, while keeping your context intact.

Trading / Instrument mode

One quick switch for the instrument you are working with.

The Stocks/Options toggle changes the active instrument mode wherever both modes are supported. It is a workspace control, not a Trade Manager-only control: use it to move quickly between stock and options workflows without leaving the current view or losing your context.

The control

Look for the two-way arrows.

The icon shows the mode that is active and lets you switch to the other mode. The same control appears in supported Trading, Charts, and Trade Manager surfaces when both stocks and options are available there.

Stocks active
Options active

Stocks mode

Use stock symbols, share quantities, and stock-specific order context.

Options mode

Use contracts, strikes, expiries, and option-premium context.

Switch without starting over. Spectral preserves the selected mode and the relevant view state, so you can return to Stocks or Options without rebuilding your workflow.
