The Dashboard is the Bot's main page: open Bot in the menu, or tap Bot on a phone. It is laid out in the order a trader asks questions.
Top to bottom
- The headline numbers. Today's profit and loss comes first. It is green when the day is up and red when it is down. Then the month, the total, and the share of today's closed trades that won. Until a trade closes today, that last card shows a dash, never a stand-in number.
- The status row. Four small readings: when Wildflower last heard from your computer, how many accounts are running out of how many, the last trade, and the last time Wildflower reached a decision today.
- The account cards. Every connected account at a glance: what it made or lost, how many trades, and where the day sits on its own bar.
- The charts. Your running profit and loss, and the month as a calendar.
- Your goals. Progress bars against the targets you set: today's profit target and this month's payout goal.
- The stats row. Longer-range figures: the winning share of your last 30 days of trades, profit factor, the worst 30-day dip, and how today's trades compare with the backtest.
- Recent trades. The last closed trades, with a link to the full history.
The bar on each account card
If the account has a daily profit cap, the bar runs from the daily loss limit on the left to the cap on the right. A marker shows where the day stands. It fills green toward the cap and red back toward the loss limit. It shows before the first trade.
Without a cap, the bar is open-ended. The marker starts in the middle. It moves right with profit, and left, in red, only when the day is down. The left end is labelled as the safety stop it is.
Your computer, and what "running" counts
Every real account is traded from your own computer. So the first thing the status row tells you is whether Wildflower can still hear from it.
An account counts as running only when it is switched on, nothing is pausing or halting it, and your computer has checked in for it. The account cards use the same test, so the count and the dots always agree.
Live vs backtest
This card counts how many of today's trades matched what the backtest would have done, such as "23 of 30". A trade matches if it landed exactly, or within the small allowed differences Wildflower publishes for fills. The "out of" number is every trade that should have matched. That includes trades that happened on only one side.
The check runs through the day. The newest trades show as awaiting comparison, not as matched. Under the number is the confirmed figure for the last full session. The agreement score explains what it claims.
What the numbers are net of
Profit and loss on this page is shown after fees. There is a separate article on that. The daily profit cap and daily loss limit are measured after fees too, because that is how Wildflower decides when to stop the day.
The clock behind it
The page refreshes on its own while it is open. What counts as "today" is the day you chose in Settings: the CME trading day (5pm to 5pm Central time), or midnight to midnight in your own time zone.
What can go wrong
- A trade at your broker that Wildflower has not matched. A notice appears, so the figure never quietly disagrees.
- A number that looks a few hours off from your firm's dashboard. Check which day you chose in Settings.
- An account with no bar on its card. The bar needs a daily loss limit for its left end, and Wildflower never sets one for you. That card shows the figures it has in words, or just its profit and loss.
