Dashboard Settings

Overview

The Dashboard is an optional overlay that provides a real-time snapshot of your strategy's performance directly on your TradingView chart. It is designed to visually summarize key statistics and allow users to assess trade behavior, profitability, and risk metrics at a glance.

This section explains how to enable the dashboard, customize its appearance, and understand each performance metric.

✅ Closed Trades	The number of trades fully closed since strategy initialization.

Each metric cell in the dashboard is dynamically color-coded:

• Enable Only When Needed: The dashboard is optional and may be disabled to reduce visual clutter or optimize chart space.

• Use Color as a Quick Filter: The dashboard color-coding system helps visually highlight strong vs. weak areas in your strategy performance.

• Combine with Backtest Data: Use the dashboard alongside TradingView’s built-in performance summaries for a comprehensive analysis.
