# Overview

> The Overview page is your mission control: realized P&L, live strategy activity, broker sessions, signal sources, and a live event log, all on one screen.

*Source: https://tradelabs.org/docs/using-the-app/overview*

**Overview** is the default landing page. It is your mission control: one screen that answers "is my bot working right now?" without digging through logs. It is a grid of widgets, so the exact layout depends on what you have turned on, but every widget below ships on by default.

![The Overview page in the app, with the P&L hero, strategy activity, status, signal sources and signal log marked](/docs-assets/app-overview-annotated.png)

1. **P&L hero** — realized profit and loss over the range you pick, with the chart under it.
2. **Strategy Activity** — every strategy and the fills, misses, and signals it has had.
3. **Status** — the one-line answer to "is my bot working right now?"
4. **Signal Sources** — which of your sources are connected and listening.
5. **Signal Log** — every signal and fill, live, as it happens.

The header greets you by time of day (**Good morning**, **Good afternoon**, **Good evening**, or **Late night**) and shows the current date and clock.

> **Note**
>
> If a broker keeps crashing, a red banner appears at the top of Overview with a title like **keeps crashing. Auto-restart paused**. Use **Open Brokers** on the banner to jump straight to the broker, or open the logs.

## The widgets

### P&L hero

The large panel shows your realized profit and loss. The heading reads **Realized today** on the day range, or **Realized** with the range name otherwise. Before your first trade of the day it says **Waiting for today's first trade.**

Pick a time range with the tabs in the top right: **1D**, **1W**, **1M**, **3M**, **1Y**, **ALL**. Hover the chart to scrub a value pill along the curve.

The footer is a row of quick actions:

| Button | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **New strategy** | Opens the Strategies page |
| **Pause all** / **Resume all** | Toggles every strategy at once. The label shows the running count, for example **Pause all (3)** |
| **Cleanup** | Opens the Portfolio page |
| **Verify** | Re-checks every connected broker session |
| **Portfolio** | Jumps to the Portfolio page |

> **Tip**
>
> **Verify** confirms your broker sessions are still good. When it finishes you see a **Verified** toast with the count. It is the fastest way to check every account before market open.

### Strategy Activity

Titled **Strategy Activity**, this is a 24-hour heatmap with one row per strategy. Each row is a strip of colored cells: **filled** (green), **failed** (red), and **signal** (blue), summed into totals per day. A vertical **now** line marks the current time on the right edge.

Controls in the header:

- A **Filter** box to narrow the list by strategy name.
- A sort toggle that switches between **Activity** and **Name**.
- **Simulate** to send a test signal through a strategy.
- **Manage** to open the Strategies page.

Each row has a status dot: **Paused**, **In flight**, **Active in last hour**, or **Idle**. Click a row to open that strategy. With no strategies yet, the panel shows **No strategies yet** and a **Create a strategy** button.

### Broker sessions

A compact dock of every broker, labeled **Brokers**. It rolls up your broker health into counts: **ready**, **warming**, and **offline**. Active and idle brokers both count as **ready**, so a broker sitting idle overnight is not a problem.

Each broker shows as a logo tile with a single corner dot for its state. Hover a tile to see the broker name, its state, and when it was last verified. Click any tile, or **Manage**, to open the Brokers page. If nothing is set up yet it reads **No sessions yet** with an **Add broker** button.

> **Note**
>
> Broker health has four states: **Active**, **Idle**, **Warming**, and **Offline**. Idle at night is normal. A chrome-based broker booting up shows as **Warming**. See [Broker status](/docs/reference/brokers/) for the full breakdown.

### Status

A small rail card titled **Status**. It summarizes your strategies and the market clock in one place:

- A headline like **3 running**, **All paused**, **Warming up**, **Attention needed**, or **Not configured**, with the running count out of your total.
- A market clock showing **Open** or **Closed** for **US equities**, plus **Closes in** or **Opens in** and a countdown.

### Signal Sources

Titled **Signal Sources**, this rail card lists each source you can connect: **Discord**, **TradingView**, and **Telegram**. The header shows how many are **live**.

Each row shows the source, a sub-line of its state (**Not connected**, **Authenticated**, or a count of accounts or sessions with **live** or **armed**), and the time since its last signal. Click a row to open that source's page, or use the **Connect** action on a source that is not set up yet.

> **Note**
>
> Serverside signals are auto-on for RSA strategies and are not picked in the signal hub, so they do not appear as a row here.

### Signal Log

Titled **Signal Log**, this is the live event feed, the same data the Activity page shows in full. Every signal, fill, and error lands here newest-first, grouped into buckets like **Now**, **Last 5 min**, **Past hour**, **Earlier today**, and **Older**. The header shows a per-minute rate and, when there is history, an **All** link to the Activity page.

When nothing has happened yet it shows **Awaiting Signal** with the note *The log lights up the moment your bot moves.*

## Rearranging the layout

The widgets and their two columns are yours to arrange. Open **Settings**, then the **Customization** tab, to toggle widgets on or off and move them between columns. If a column is empty, Overview tells you so and points you back to **Settings, then Customization**.
