The dashboard is the operational overview for your account. Cards on the top row aggregate every trade and every strategy under the currently selected trading mode (Live or Paper). The risk meters on the right show how close you are to tripping a circuit breaker.

Trading mode

The toggle at the top of the page (Live / Paper) scopes everything on the page. P&L, win rate, open positions, recent trades - all filter to the chosen mode. Strategies that don't have a live credential of the matching mode are skipped.

When something looks wrong

Stat card stuck at zero? No trades exist yet for that mode. Open a paper trade to confirm the pipeline works.
Total P&L doesn't match the strategies tab? Strategies-tab P&L is per-strategy; dashboard is account-wide.
Risk meter is yellow / red? You're approaching a circuit breaker. The breaker fires automatically when the meter hits 100%.
