Operating the Trading Dashboard
An overview of the Trading Dashboard, covering account cards, reordering, the auto-trading toggle, status colours, and the manual trade form.
The Trading page is the operational centre. Each connected MT5 account renders as a card showing balance, equity, connection status, current Risk%, and active Trading Windows.
- Reorder cards: drag any account card by its grip handle to set the visual order. Order is stored locally per browser.
- Auto-trading toggle: disable it to keep the EA online but ignore new signals. Useful for news events.
- Status colours: green = online + trading allowed, amber/grey = standby (auto-trading off or outside windows), red = offline (no heartbeat for 10s).
- Manual trade form: single-row form on the dashboard. Pick the target account, symbol, direction, SL, and exit mode (TP or trailing stop), then submit.
