Ledington vs Godel Terminal

The whole picture, not just the price screen

Godel put a fast browser terminal in front of people who could never justify a $30,000 seat, and it handles quotes, options and the tape well. Ledington goes wider: rates and the Fed's balance sheet, the macro calendar, futures positioning and regulation, with filings already parsed and a workspace the whole desk shares.

Why teams switch from Godel

The rates complex, not just the tape

The Treasury curve, SOFR, repo operations and the Fed's balance sheet, next to policy rates from the ECB, Bank of England and Bank of Canada.

Filings, already parsed

Jump straight to the 10-K section you need, search every filing by phrase, and see insider trades and 13F changes as they're reported.

Built for the desk, not one seat

Publish layouts and saved screens to the whole workspace, with roles, chat and an audit log that can't be edited.

Where Godel is still ahead

Godel is built around the live tape, and it is good at it. If your day is options, futures and intraday flow, it covers ground we don't.

Options and the tape

Real-time US options chains with full Greeks, time and sales, and quote monitors built for trading rather than research.

Rooms full of other traders

Public chat channels and a room for every ticker, so you're talking to other users and not only your own colleagues.

Listings around the world

Quotes from more than twenty international exchanges on one screen, delayed outside the US but there when you need them.

Questions from Godel users

Try the terminal before you sign up

The demo runs on simulated data and needs no account, so you can open every panel and build a layout before you talk to anyone.

In your browser or on your desktop

Use Ledington in any modern browser, or install the desktop app for its own window and an always-on-top mode. Your layouts follow you between them.

Available for macOS and Windows.
