Reading the dashboard

What the KPI tiles, snapshot, and activity feed are telling you.

KPI tiles (top of the page)

Current equity (USD)
Sum of your USD balance + every pair's position value at current market price. This is your "if I closed everything right now, what would I have" number.
Realized P&L (today)
Sum of profits from cycles that closed since 00:00 UTC today.
Unrealized P&L
Sum of (current price − cost basis) × position across all open positions. The "what would I lose / gain if I sold right now" number.
Open positions
Count of pairs currently holding base-asset position.

The per-pair table (snapshot)

One row per configured pair. Key columns:

  • Symbol — Kraken trading pair (e.g. BTC/USD).
  • Position — units of the base asset currently held.
  • Cost basis — weighted-average price paid.
  • Mark — current market price.
  • P&L — unrealized profit/loss on this pair.
  • DCA — how many DCA levels have fired this cycle.
  • State — what the bot is doing for this pair right now (waiting / placed / filling / gated / cooldown).

Activity feed

The live stream of events the bot is emitting — orders placed, fills, cycle closes, errors. New events appear at the top as they happen.

For a full filterable history, see /me/bot/trades (Trade history).

"Bot is losing money" banner

If today's combined P&L (realized + unrealized) is below −2% of equity, a red banner appears above the KPI tiles with a one-tap link to Bot controls. This is your "the bot is having a bad day, do you want to review it" signal.

Cooldown indicators

When the bot tries to place an order but doesn't have enough USD, it sets a per-pair cooldown to avoid hammering Kraken with repeated rejections. The state column shows "Cooldown until …" while one is active. See Insufficient funds — what it means.

What's NOT on the dashboard

  • Tax-lot accounting.
  • Charts of historical price + your fills overlaid.
  • Per-pair P&L breakdown over time.

These are planned for future iterations. In the meantime, the trade history page + CSV export gives you the raw data to do your own analysis.
