Godel Terminal commands: all 17 documented functions
This reference is built from Godel Terminal's own command documentation URLs, not from
guesswork. Every command below has a page in the official docs, and each card tells you whether the
description comes from Godel Terminal's published prose or only from the documentation index.
Why this list is shorter than others you will find: several widely-copied
Godel Terminal cheat sheets include commands — OPT, HDS, GIP, MOST, FOCUS — that have no page in the
official documentation. We have listed them separately below with the documented command to use instead,
rather than padding the count.
Commands Godel Terminal describes directly
These 7 commands have prose descriptions published by Godel Terminal itself.
Everything in these cards is restated from the vendor.
DESSecurity OverviewVendor-describedAAPL DES
Every company, in one screen. Business description, real-time price chart, market cap, EPS estimates, analyst ratings and key dates for any ticker.
Godel describes DES as the first command analysts type when a name lands on the desk. It is the orientation screen: what the company does, what it is worth right now, what the street expects, and what is on the calendar.
Business description, real-time price chart and market cap
News in milliseconds, filtered to your tickers. Ticker-filtered news feed from primary wires, exchange notices and major outlets.
Supports both per-ticker pinning and a portfolio-wide feed across every name you hold. Godel positions this as consolidating more than $2,000 of media subscriptions into one dashboard, and it is the capability its own published customer testimonial singles out.

Streaming watchlists across every venue. Real-time watchlists across equities, ETFs, indices and futures with bid/ask, change, volume and latency.
The number that decides whether QM can replace your existing watchlist: up to 400 tickers per list, with batch import. Most comparison articles omit that figure entirely.
Every SEC filing, in-product. 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, proxies and 13Fs — sortable, filterable and rendered inside the workspace.
Filings pull directly from SEC EDGAR and render in the workspace, so there is no tab-switch to the source document mid-workflow. Note that 13F coverage here is also the practical route to institutional ownership data.
Standardized financials, exportable to Excel. Income statement, balance sheet and cash flow standardized across every company, annual and quarterly.
Each line item stays tied to the filing it came from, which is what makes the numbers auditable. Standardization across companies is what makes cross-name comparison possible; Excel export is what makes it usable in a model you already have.
Global market context, at a glance. Real-time prices for every major equity index across the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific in one ranked view.
Shows change, percentage change and year-to-date performance side by side. This is the open-of-day screen — one command instead of a browser full of index tabs.
Consensus, one screen. Forward EPS and revenue estimates by quarter and year, with the P/E, P/S and P/CF multiples they imply.
Also carries every covering analyst’s rating and price target. The implied-multiple column is the useful part — it turns a consensus table into a valuation screen without exporting anything.

These 10 commands each have a documentation page at
godelterminal.com/docs/commands/, and each maps to a capability Godel Terminal advertises
by name. We state that they exist and what they cover — we do not invent behavioural detail we have not seen.
OMONOptions MonitorDocumentedQQQ OMON
The options chain function. Godel documents OMON as its options command; "Options" is an advertised capability.
Worth knowing because most third-party cheat sheets list "OPT" for options on Godel. Godel’s own documentation URL is for OMON, which follows the same convention legacy terminals use. If you have been typing OPT and getting nothing, this is why.
The screening function. Godel documents EQS; "Screening" is an advertised capability.
The documented screening command. Third-party guides frequently list "MOST" as Godel’s screener or movers list; there is no MOST page in Godel’s command documentation.
Historical price series. Godel documents HP; "Historicals" is an advertised capability.
The documented route to historical price data. Independent reviews often cite "G" or "GIP" for charting on Godel — neither has a page in the official command documentation.
The tape — individual prints as they happen. Godel documents TAS and names it directly as a capability on its homepage.
One of the few mnemonics Godel prints verbatim in its own capability list, so this one is unambiguous. Used to read order flow and gauge buying versus selling pressure.
Institutional ownership. Godel documents HMS and names "HMS / GR" directly in its capability list.
The documented ownership screen. Third-party guides commonly list "HDS" for holders on Godel — that is the legacy-terminal mnemonic, and it does not have a page in Godel’s documentation. HMS does.
A documented command with no directly matching pill in Godel’s public capability list, so we are not going to guess at its exact scope. The official documentation page is linked below.
If you have typed one of these into Godel Terminal and got nothing back, this is why.
Each of these appears in at least one popular Godel Terminal guide, and none has a page in the official
command documentation. In most cases the guide has copied a legacy-terminal mnemonic that Godel Terminal
did not adopt.

Why
OPT
Options chain
OMON
Godel documents the options function as OMON.
HDS
Holders
HMS
Godel documents the holders function as HMS, and names "HMS / GR" on its own site.
G
Chart
HP
No G page exists in Godel’s command docs. HP is the documented historical price command.
GIP
Intraday chart
HP
No GIP page exists in Godel’s command docs.
MOST
Most active
EQS
No MOST page exists in Godel’s command docs. EQS is the documented screener.
FOCUS
Quick quote
QM
No FOCUS page exists in Godel’s command docs. QM is the documented quote monitor.
SECF
SEC filings
CF
Godel documents the filings function as CF.
To be fair to those guides: Godel Terminal is in public beta and its command
set is actively changing, so some of these may have existed once or may exist later. As of this page's last update,
they are not in the documentation.
Capabilities Godel Terminal advertises
Godel Terminal names these capabilities on its own homepage. Most map cleanly onto a
documented command; a few (Layouts, Excel) are workspace features rather than command-line functions.
17 commands currently have their own page in Godel Terminal's official documentation: DES, N, QM, CF, FA, WEI, EM, OMON, EQS, HP, ANR, ERN, TAS, HMS, TRAN, GLCO, FX. Godel Terminal is in public beta and states that more commands are under development, so this list grows.
Why doesn't the OPT command work in Godel Terminal?
Because Godel Terminal's options function is documented as OMON, not OPT. Several popular Godel Terminal guides list OPT, but there is no OPT page in the official command documentation. The same applies to HDS (use HMS), G and GIP (use HP), MOST (use EQS) and FOCUS (use QM).
How do I run a command in Godel Terminal?
Godel Terminal is driven by a command line at the top of the workspace. You type a short mnemonic, optionally prefixed with a security identifier — for example AAPL DES for Apple's overview screen, or WEI on its own for world indices, which needs no ticker.
Are these commands the same as Bloomberg's?
Many of them deliberately match. DES, N, CF, FA, EM, ERN, ANR, HP, EQS, TAS and OMON all follow the mnemonic conventions used by legacy terminals, which is a stated design goal — Godel Terminal markets itself as "browser based with familiar commands". That is why an analyst moving across can be productive quickly. It does not mean the underlying screens are identical.
