Dashboard Overview
Dashboard Overview
The Dashboard is your home screen in TradeTorq. It gives you a bird's-eye view of your trading activity and quick access to all platform features.
Dashboard Widgets
When you log in, you'll see several information cards and charts:
Account Summary Cards
At the top of the dashboard, you'll see summary cards showing:
- Balance — Your account balance (excluding open trades)
- Equity — Balance plus/minus the floating P&L of open positions
- Daily P&L — How much you've made or lost today
- Total Trades — Number of trades executed
Daily P&L Chart
A bar chart showing your daily profit and loss over time. Green bars represent profitable days, red bars represent losing days. This helps you quickly spot winning and losing streaks.
Drawdown Chart
Visualizes your equity drawdown — how far your equity has fallen from its peak. This is a key risk metric that shows your worst-case equity decline.
Portfolio Heatmap
A calendar-style heatmap showing your trading activity and performance across days. Darker green means more profit, darker red means more loss, and empty cells mean no trades were taken.
Recent Trades
A quick list of your most recent closed trades, including symbol, direction, lot size, profit, and close time.
Symbol Performance
Breaks down your performance by trading symbol (e.g., XAUUSD, EURUSD). See which instruments you trade most and which are most profitable.
