Dashboard

The Dashboard provides real-time visual feedback on backtest performance and trade statistics.
It summarizes essential information about capital allocation, trade direction, and performance progress directly on the chart — helping traders monitor active simulations without opening additional reports.

Dashboard Metrics

Start Capital
Displays the initial account balance used for the backtest.
This value is defined in the Properties Initial Capital settings and remains static throughout the simulation (default: 1000 USD).
Position Size
Shows the current trade size as a percentage of total account equity.
It reflects the default quantity type set in the Properties order size (e.g., 5% of equity per trade).
Current Trade
Indicates the direction and real-time performance of the active position.
- Displays Long or Short along with the percentage gain/loss since entry.
- Positive trades are shown in green, negative trades in blue for quick visual distinction.
Closed Trades
Tracks the total number of completed trades during the backtest session.
This metric helps evaluate system frequency and sample size quality for statistical analysis.

The dashboard automatically updates at the close of every bar, ensuring live synchronization with ongoing backtest data.

Its minimalist layout is designed for quick readability, allowing traders to gauge capital health, exposure, and system behavior at a glance — especially during long-term simulations.
