Monitor a Live Strategy

A deployed strategy trades with your funds behind it, so watch how it actually behaves. Once a strategy is deployed, you track its progress from the strategy dashboard on the left side of the canvas. This page explains what the dashboard shows, how to read the canvas in view mode, and how to tell a waiting strategy from a stuck one.

Open the dashboard

Open the Strategies section of the trading interface. The dashboard lists all your strategies, both active and historical.

A live dashboard: account equity and uPnL up top, a running strategy row, and the Oracle Feed.

Filter by status:

• All: Every strategy, in whatever state.
• Active: Currently running strategies.
• Completed: Strategies that ran successfully to the end of the flow.
• Failed: Strategies that stopped because a node could not complete.
• Ended: Strategies you stopped yourself. Cancel or Stop a Strategy covers how a strategy gets there.
• Archived: Appears only once you have archived at least one strategy.

Strategy card overview

Each strategy in the list shows:

• Name and status indicator: A colored dot and a short badge carry the current state. Green and pulsing for LIVE, blue for DONE, red for FAIL, amber for PAUSED while a service outage holds the strategy, and grey for Ending and Ended.
• Exposure: Total value of open positions.
• uPnL: Unrealized PnL on any open positions held by the strategy.
• rPnL: Realized PnL booked by the strategy.

Click a strategy to expand it or open it in the canvas viewer.

Reading the run clock

The Overview tab of an opened strategy carries the run’s clock under Exposure. Opened is the moment the strategy went live. Closed is the moment it reached a final state, and Ran for is the elapsed time between the two.

A running strategy shows no close time, and neither does one still ending, because its open orders may still be settling. The close time appears once the strategy is genuinely finished, which keeps a moving “last updated” clock from masquerading as a finish line.

Reading the canvas in view mode

Clicking into a deployed strategy opens the canvas in read-only view mode, showing the strategy’s current execution state. The floating toolbar at the top shows the strategy’s overall status.

The read-only canvas of a running strategy: the Indicator triggered, and the Order filled.

Node highlighting:

• Active node: The node the strategy is currently waiting on or executing. Highlighted to show exactly where the strategy is in the flow.
• Failed node: A node that encountered an error and could not complete. Shown with a distinct indicator.

This view is useful for understanding where a strategy is stuck or why it stopped earlier than expected.

Checking open positions

The strategy dashboard shows live PnL and position data for any positions currently open under your strategy. This updates in real time. For how Synchronicity attributes exposure to each strategy and how to close a position it holds, see Strategy Positions.

The Trades tab beside it labels every fill in a Type column. A close produced by an exit you attached to the Order node reads Take profit or Stop loss, so a target that was hit and a stop that rescued the trade are one glance apart. What closed this trade? lists the full set of labels.

The account equity tile at the top of the dashboard carries a sub-line with your lifetime account profit or loss and your return on equity, measured against your net deposits. Both figures are mirrored from Hyperliquid, so they describe the whole account, including any trading you did outside your strategies.

Watching cycle progress

If your strategy uses cycles, the dashboard tracks how many cycles have completed and how many remain. The cycle count updates as the strategy progresses. Each cycle resets from the first node.

Active versus still running

A strategy with Active status has been deployed and has neither finished nor been ended. It may currently be:

• Waiting for its trigger condition to be met
• Executing an order
• Monitoring an open position for an exit condition

All of these fall under Active. A strategy does not move to Done until its final node successfully completes and the flow ends. If a node fails, the strategy stays Active only while another branch is still running. Otherwise it moves to Failed.

When Synchronicity cannot reach Hyperliquid

If Synchronicity loses its connection to Hyperliquid, the dashboard tells you. A banner appears at the top naming the affected service, how long the outage has lasted, and how many of your strategies are degraded, paused, or failed because of it.

An outage does not fire your failure action on the spot. The engine handles it in stages, and an outage that clears before your timer runs out ends with your strategy running again untouched.

• It pauses first. When the required service goes unavailable, every affected strategy is paused automatically and starts waiting for the service to come back. A paused strategy places no new orders while it waits.
• It reconciles on recovery. When the service returns and stays healthy across several checks, the engine first reconciles the strategy’s positions against your real account state. That way the strategy resumes from what is actually true on Hyperliquid rather than from a stale picture taken before the outage.
• It resumes on its own. If recovery and reconciliation both complete before the outage timer’s deadline, the strategy returns to normal operation with no failure action taken. A short blip that clears in time lands here.

Only when an outage lasts past the timer you set does the failure action run. What happens then to the strategy’s positions and orders is decided by its failure settings. See Failure settings on the Deploy page for the options and the outage timer that governs when they trigger. Switch the timer off and an outage alone never trips the failure action, so a paused strategy waits for recovery for as long as it takes.
