A trading dashboard is only as good as its refresh

A trading dashboard showing a price from four minutes ago looks identical to one showing a price from four seconds ago, so the thing that makes one useful is not its layout but whether it states when each number was read.

A trading dashboard puts the things you care about on one screen: prices, positions, funding, exposure. The layout is the easy part and almost every tool will do it for you.

The failure is silent, which is what makes it expensive

A dashboard showing a price from four minutes ago looks exactly like one showing a price from four seconds ago. There is no visual difference and no error. You find out it was stale by acting on it, which is the worst possible moment and the reason a decorative dashboard is worse than none at all.

What a dashboard has to state to be trustworthy

When each number was read, and what happened if the read failed. A panel that quietly keeps showing the last good value during an outage is telling you something false with complete confidence. Saying nothing is available right now is less impressive and far more useful.

The part that is genuinely yours

Nobody needs another chart of the bitcoin price. A dashboard is worth building when it shows a combination only you care about: your venues, your pairs, your exposure, the one spread you actually trade. That is too specific to buy and too small to justify weeks of work, which is exactly the shape of thing worth generating.

What is underneath this one

Twenty three public endpoints, no key, covering perpetual markets, spot venues, funding rates, order books and equities. A generated dashboard reads them at request time. The table below is one of them answering while this page was served, which is the whole point rather than a decoration.

Common questions

What makes a trading dashboard trustworthy?

That it states when each number was read, and what it shows when a read fails. A price from four minutes ago looks identical to one from four seconds ago, so a dashboard that hides the read time cannot be safely acted on.

What should a trading dashboard show when the data source is down?

It should say so. Showing the last good value during an outage presents something false with complete confidence. An empty panel that says nothing is available right now is less impressive and far more useful.

Can I build my own trading dashboard?

Yes, and it is most worth building when it shows a combination only you care about, such as your venues, your pairs and your exposure. The templates above are working dashboards on live market data. Start from one and change what it shows.
