The console is organized into different ***pages*** (see screenshot above). The availability of the Trade Report, Scan and Optimize pages depends on the editions. To access a different page, simply click on the page tab at the bottom of the console window. The default set of pages are as follows: * **Home** – The home page contains a sample layout that has a single chart area and two spots at the bottom for watch lists. * **Charts** – Sample layout of 6 charts. * **Floating** – Sample floating stations provide an alternative to split layouts. * **Account** – Layout containing information about your account, orders, positions and historical trades. * **Trade Report** – Functionality to generate a report that can be filtered by account, instrument, and date * **Options** – Sample layout containing Option Chains. Note: this page is only available on brokers that support options trading. * **Scan** – Layout for using the scanning functionality within MotiveWave™. * **Optimize** – Contains a strategy optimizer panel for Back Testing, Optimization and Walk Forward testing of automated strategies.
