Command Center
Command Center Overview
Command Center
The Command Center is the heart of TradeTorq. It's your real-time trading dashboard where you see all open positions, execute trade management actions with Command Keys, and monitor your account's performance live.
Layout
The Command Center is organized into distinct sections:
Top Section — Insight Cards
Four summary cards at the top showing your key metrics at a glance:
- Balance — Current account balance
- Equity — Real-time equity (balance + floating P&L)
- MTM P&L — Mark-to-market profit and loss with SL/TP indicators
- Exposure — Total open position volume
Middle Section — Command Keys Grid
The 5×4 grid of action buttons — your one-click trade management panel. Each button executes a specific trade action across your positions. See Command Keys for full documentation.
Lower Section — Positions Table
A tabbed table showing:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Open | All currently open positions with real-time P&L |
| Closed | Recently closed positions with final P&L |
| Pending | Pending orders waiting to be triggered |
Right Panel — Command History
The right side dock provides access to your command execution history, showing what actions were executed and their results.
Real-Time Updates
The Command Center uses Server-Sent Events (SSE) to stream live data to your browser. This means:
- Prices update automatically — No need to refresh the page
- Position P&L recalculates live — Watch your floating P&L change in real-time
- Equity and balance reflect instantly — Any changes from trades or fills appear immediately
- Animations show changes — Values flash when they update, so you never miss a change
Connection indicator
Look for the small pulsing dot in the top area of the Command Center. A green pulse means you're receiving live data. If it turns yellow or red, your connection may be degraded.
