The Trading Bot Dashboard is your control center. It provides real-time insights into your bot’s activity, performance, and system status. Understanding this dashboard allows you to monitor performance, detect issues early, and make data-informed adjustments to your strategy.
📊 Overview of the Dashboard
Once your trading bot is activated, the dashboard becomes your primary interface. Here’s what you’ll typically find:
- Bot Status: Indicates whether the bot is running, paused, or encountering errors.
- Balance Summary: Displays total funds per currency and open positions.
- Trade Activity Feed: Shows completed trades, pending orders, and errors.
- Strategy Overview: Lists the currently active strategy or configuration.
- Performance Metrics: Shows profit/loss, ROI, and trade frequency.
Each section helps answer a key question: Is my bot doing what I expect it to do?
🔍 Bot Status & Exchange Connection
Status Indicators
- Active – The bot is trading normally.
- Paused – Manually or automatically paused.
- Error – A critical issue (e.g., failed order, API error).
Exchange Connectivity
- Green check: API is connected and authorized.
- Red X: Bot is disconnected or restricted (e.g., due to IP mismatch or key expiration).
Make sure your exchange credentials are up to date and permissions for trading are enabled.
💼 Portfolio & Balances
This section reflects your available balance and active positions:
- Base and quote currencies
- Unallocated funds (not yet invested)
- Held assets from open trades
- Dust (leftover amounts too small to trade)
You should verify that you have enough liquidity for the bot to continue operating smoothly.
📈 Performance and ROI
One of the most important panels is the Performance Chart, which may show:
- Total returns over time (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Win/loss ratio
- Fees paid
- Strategy effectiveness
Reviewing these numbers helps you judge whether your strategy needs fine-tuning or if it’s producing consistent results.
🔁 Open Positions & Orders
This area displays:
- All active buy/sell orders
- Limit/market orders currently in place
- Stop-loss or trailing stop positions
- Order age – How long the bot has waited to execute or close
You can cancel orders manually or let the bot manage them automatically, depending on your configuration.
🧠 Strategy Details
This panel shows:
- The strategy type (e.g., DCA, Market Making)
- Indicators used (e.g., RSI, EMA crossover)
- Whether the bot uses a Config Pool, Signals, or manual override
- Buy/sell cooldowns
Make sure your strategy settings align with your risk tolerance and market conditions.
🔧 Error Logs and Notifications
If your bot encounters issues, they’ll appear here:
- Timestamped error messages
- API call failures
- Order rejections
- Trading restrictions
The error log is essential for quick troubleshooting. Don’t ignore this section, especially if your bot seems inactive or underperforming.
📤 Export and Backup Options
From the dashboard, you can often:
- Download trade history
- Export settings
- Generate configuration backups
These tools help with documentation, troubleshooting, and migrating settings to a new device or bot instance.
✅ Tips for Effective Dashboard Use
- Check in once per trading session or daily.
- Use alerts to notify you of key changes (e.g., large losses or bot inactivity).
- Compare real performance with backtest results regularly.
- Log changes when you adjust settings to track what works.
Summary
Your Trading Bot Dashboard is more than a display — it’s your trading cockpit. Mastering it means:
- Monitoring performance in real time
- Spotting errors early
- Making informed adjustments
