Monitor a Live Strategy
Once a strategy is deployed, you can track its progress from the strategy dashboard on the left side of the canvas. This page explains what information is available and how to read it.
Open the dashboard
Navigate to the Strategies section of the trading interface. The dashboard lists all your strategies, both active and historical.
Filter by status:
- Active: Currently running strategies.
- Done: Completed strategies, all nodes ran successfully to the end of the flow.
- Off: Cancelled strategies, stopped manually or by a cancel Trigger firing.
Strategy card overview
Each strategy in the list shows:
- Name and status indicator: A colored dot reflects current status. Green for active, yellow for completed, red for cancelled.
- Unrealized PnL: Current PnL on any open positions held by the strategy.
- Position value: Total value of open positions.
Click a strategy to expand it or open it in the canvas viewer.
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.
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 more detail, check the main positions panel in the your exchange interface.
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 not finished or been cancelled. 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.
Next steps
If something looks off, you can stop the strategy. Read Cancel or Stop a Strategy to learn how.
