Reading the Live Bot Dashboard

Understand session equity, open contracts, events, and stop controls.

Education is not a profit promise or personal financial advice. Validate on demo, understand the complete risk, and keep control of every bot you start.

Session versus lifetime figures

Session profit begins when the current instance starts. Lifetime figures aggregate earlier activity. Keep the two separate when deciding whether a current bot is behaving as configured.

Open-position state

The dashboard should show contract identity, stake, market, entry time, and current status when a broker exposes them. After a runtime restart, unresolved positions require reconciliation before new orders are safe.

Control remains with you

Pause stops new entries where supported. Stop ends the bot process according to its close-on-stop configuration. Emergency close is for supported open positions and should be used with full awareness of current market conditions.
