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.

Toggle to show or hide the strategy dashboard on the chart. When enabled, a table displaying live performance stats appears in the selected position.
Dashboard Text Size
Adjusts the font size of all text in the dashboard. Options include Auto, Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, and Huge.

Each strategy tracks and displays the following statistics in real-time within the dashboard:
π² Net Profit %

. Color-coded green (positive) or red (negative).
β Closed Trades
The number of trades fully closed since strategy initialization.

The percentage of winning trades relative to total closed trades.
π Profit Factor
Ratio of gross profit to gross loss. A value above 1 indicates profitable performance.
π» Max Drawdown %

π° Avg Trade Profit %

Each metric cell in the dashboard is dynamically color-coded:
Green indicates a strong or healthy metric
Red suggests the value may need review or indicates potential risk
