Read your dashboard
The dashboard is where you land after you sign in. It opens with live prices, gives you market context at a glance, three quick ways to start a strategy, and a cockpit view of your bots, broker connection, and AI credits. This guide walks through every part of the page and what each number means.
The ticker and the greeting
The top of the page reads as alive on first paint. A scrolling price strip runs across the top, and a greeting names you and the day.
- Read the scrolling ticker at the very top. It shows the live spot price (the current index price) for every coin we support.
- Hover the ticker to pause it so you can read a price without chasing it.
- Watch a price flash green or red as a fresh tick arrives.
- Read the greeting below it. It changes with the time of day in your timezone and uses your first name if you set one.
2Greeting (time of day + your name)- Read a live price (spot, the current index price)
- Watch it flash on a tick (green up, red down)
- Read the greeting (time of day, your first name)
The net vs gross chart
Below the greeting is a wide animated chart that compares NET to GROSS. NET is what you actually keep after costs. GROSS is what you would have made before costs. The shaded DRAG wedge between the two lines is the drag from fees, funding (the periodic payment between long and short holders of a perpetual) and slippage (the gap between the price you expected and the price you got). The legend under the chart names the three: NET, GROSS, DRAG.
- Read the solid line. The legend labels it NET, the headline.
- Read the faint dashed line above it. The legend labels it GROSS, before costs.
- Look at the shaded wedge between them. The legend labels it DRAG, what costs took out.
- Check the header label. It tells you whether you are looking at a DEMO curve or YOUR FLEET.
- Read the three stats in the footer: SHARPE (return per unit of risk), MAX DD (the worst peak-to-trough drop), and P(PROFIT) (the share of trades that closed in profit). On the demo curve each is suffixed DEMO; on your real fleet each is suffixed 24H.

Market context strip
Below the movers is the Market · Delta India perps strip, a row of market tiles for the perpetuals (perpetual futures, contracts with no expiry) listed on Delta India. Its header reads live · 15s and it refreshes every 15 seconds.
- Read Perpetuals listed: how many perpetual contracts are tracked.
- Read 24h volume: total traded value across those contracts in the last day.
- Read Open interest: the total dollar size of open positions.
- Read 1h OI flow: how open interest changed in the last hour, as a percent. Green is money coming in, red is money leaving.
- Read BTC funding APR: the annualised funding rate on BTC. Positive means longs pay shorts.
1Open interest21h OI flow3Funding APRRSI, Altcoin Season, and cross-exchange sentiment
Two more rows sit under the market strip. The first is medium-term market posture. The second is cross-exchange sentiment for BTC.
- Read Market RSI · 14d/1d: the average 14-period RSI on daily closes across the top perps. RSI (relative strength index) runs 0 to 100. Above 70 reads overbought, below 30 reads oversold.
- Read Altcoin Season Index · 90d: above 75 reads altcoin season, below 25 reads bitcoin season, in between reads balanced.
