The dashboard is the main operating surface in SteadyEdge. It combines navigation, live summaries, bot actions, support links, and account access in one shell.

What this is

This article explains how to move through the dashboard efficiently and what each major area is responsible for.

When to use it

Use this article if:

you are signed in but do not know where to begin
you want to understand what the dashboard home page is showing
you want to find bot actions quickly

Before you start

Sign in first. The dashboard is a protected workspace.

Step by step

Step 1: Use the left navigation as your primary map

The user workspace includes:

Dashboard
Bots
Backtests
Metrics
Profile

Step 2: Read the top bar before you scroll

The top bar gives you three important shortcuts:

Help
Manage Bots
account and language controls

Use Help when you want documentation without leaving the workspace.

Step 3: Read the dashboard summary first

The dashboard home is designed to answer operational questions quickly:

how many bots you have
how they are performing
what the current trade and PnL picture looks like
which public ready bots are available to explore

Step 4: Use the bot table for actions, not only observation

Each bot row is actionable. Depending on state, the current dashboard can expose actions such as:

start
pause or stop
edit
run backtest
open metrics
open the trade log
export settings
delete

If a running bot already has an open position, the pause flow offers position-aware stop choices instead of a blind stop.

Step 5: Open deeper workspaces when the summary is not enough

Use specialized pages when the dashboard summary stops being enough:

Bots for editing
Backtests for run history
Metrics for analytics and trade log
Profile for verification, security, billing, API keys, and referrals

What you should see

You should now know:

where the primary navigation lives
where support access lives
where quick bot actions live
where to go next for editing, backtesting, analytics, or account management

Common mistakes

looking for billing or exchange setup in the sidebar instead of Profile tabs
expecting the dashboard summary to replace the full backtest report
ignoring row actions in the bot table
