Read the panel in this order: general state, symbol and timeframe, spread, active controls, aggregate metrics, strategy rows, and MetaTrader 5 logs. One label or figure cannot prove what happens next.
1. General state
EXECUTION READY means the panel is not currently displaying one of its visible operating holds. It does not mean that a signal exists or guarantee that an order will open.
MARKET CLOSED, SPREAD HOLD, and ENTRY HOLD describe conditions that block or pause new entries at that moment. Review Experts and Journal for the full technical reason.
The dashboard reports a condition observed by the software. Connection, server, broker, margin, and market conditions can change before any execution attempt.
2. The four top metrics
| Field | What it summarises | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Open P/L | Open result attributed by the panel to InfinityGoldFx, including costs available in the terminal. | It is not a closed outcome or guaranteed exit value. |
| Balance | The account balance reported by MetaTrader 5. | It is not free capital or available risk. |
| Closed P/L | Aggregate result of closed trades identified by the system. | It does not prove profitability without period, costs, and methodology. |
| Risk Base | Reference capital used by the risk calculation. | It does not always have to match Balance. |
3. Frequency and Risk
The controls block confirms the selected operating frequency and active general risk profile. Use it to verify configuration before comparing tests or investigating behaviour.
The risk profile participates in the risk budget and volume calculation. A higher label on the scale can increase exposure; it is not a recommendation or a quality ranking. Read the risk-profile guide for its limits.
4. Strategy ledger
The ledger contains eight coordinated rows inside one product: Alpha, Gamma, Delta, Beta, Omega, Sigma, Vega, and Nova. Each row may display ACTIVE, HOLD, or STANDBY.
- ACTIVE: the row is operationally active according to the displayed internal state.
- HOLD: a condition is keeping that row from new entries.
- STANDBY: the row remains available but is not active at that moment.
Closed and Avg summarise closed result and average per closed trade for each row. Lot shows calculated volume. None guarantees that an order will be sent or that the broker will accept that volume.
5. The panel footer
The footer identifies symbol and timeframe, winning and losing trades, win percentage, observed spread, configured spread ceiling, and an aggregate total. They provide diagnostic context.
A win percentage without sample size, losses, costs, period, and methodology can mislead. Likewise, spread within the ceiling does not guarantee execution: latency, liquidity, margin, and broker rules still matter.
A diagnostic reading method
- Start with state.
Check whether the panel is ready or displays a visible hold. - Confirm context.
Review symbol, timeframe, schedule, and observed spread against the ceiling. - Validate configuration.
Confirm Frequency, Risk, and reference capital before comparing. - Locate the row.
Identify whether the strategy is ACTIVE, HOLD, or STANDBY. - Open the logs.
Experts and Journal provide detail that a visual summary cannot contain. - Protect your data.
When requesting support, hide account numbers, credentials, balances, and personal identifiers.

Read the risk guideFrequently asked questions
Does EXECUTION READY mean the EA will open a trade?
No. It means the dashboard is not currently showing one of its visible operating holds; it does not predict a signal or guarantee that an order will be sent or filled.
Do Closed P/L or Win % prove profitability?
Not in isolation. They require a period, costs, trade count, methodology, and context. Past data does not guarantee future outcomes.
What should I review first?
Start with state, symbol, timeframe, and spread; then confirm the active controls and review Experts and Journal.
