Trading Dashboard Development for Live Operations
We build trading dashboards—equity curves, exposure heatmaps, bot heartbeats, slippage stats, and kill switches—on real-time data, not yesterday CSV uploads.
Ops blind spots cause expensive mistakes
Strategies fail silently on VPS. Risk officers refresh spreadsheets. Traders discover drawdown from push notifications, not dashboards.
- ×Multiple exchange UIs with no aggregate P&L.
- ×Bot logs buried on server—not visible to desk.
- ×Stale data labeled live; websocket drops unnoticed.
- ×No mobile view when away from desk during events.
Custom trading dashboard development
Role-based views for traders, risk, and ops—websocket-driven with alert thresholds and drill-down to order level.
- Sub-second P&L refresh on open positions.
- Bot health tiles with last heartbeat and error counts.
- One-click kill switch with confirmation audit.
- Embed in your app or standalone responsive web.
