The dashboard

The dashboard is where you monitor and control your bot after it is live. It is organized into tabs. Owners see the full set; viewers get a read-only subset, described in the "Roles and access" section below.

Overview

A high-level summary of your account — balance, open positions, and recent activity at a glance.

Positions

Your current open positions, including the market, side, and size for each.

Trading Operations

The live scan-and-decision funnel: what markets the bot is looking at, and how each one moves through the bot's decision steps. This is where you watch the bot think in real time.

History

Your fills and settlements. Total P&L here is settled-only — it counts settled positions and already nets out Kalshi's exchange fees, so you should not subtract fees again.

Analysis

Deeper charts and breakdowns of trading activity, including execution-quality views.

Strategy

Owner-only. This is where you build and edit your bot's configuration — a workflow canvas and a full table editor, switchable at the top of the page, both editing one shared config session. A component palette lets you pick the pricing model and add or remove admission gates. Save stores a draft; Deploy publishes a new versioned config that the bot picks up on its next loop. Structural strategy changes (swapping the pricing model, adding or removing gates, or deploying a brand-new strategy) ask for a completed backtest first — or an explicit, recorded "deploy untested" confirmation — before the Deploy button unlocks. The Strategy reference documents each of these surfaces in detail.

Named strategies and versions

Your configuration is organized as a named strategy — a product card with a name, description, and the markets it trades. You can start from one of the built-in presets or edit your own. Each time you publish, the strategy records an immutable version in its history, so you always have a record of what changed and when. Published versions cannot be altered after the fact — publishing again creates a new version rather than overwriting an old one.

Your strategies and their settings are yours. Parachute runs your bot on your own Kalshi account using credentials you provide; it never takes custody of your funds or trades on its own behalf.

Bot Control

Owner-only. The mechanical and money-safety controls: start and stop the bot, the kill switch, a money-safety card (daily loss limit), and a panel of recent order failures. See Money safety for what these controls do.

Settings

Account settings, credentials, and viewer management.

Roles and access

There are two roles. Owners have full access to all tabs. Viewers are read-only and do not see Bot Control or Strategy — they cannot change configuration or start and stop the bot. Owners invite viewers by email from Settings.
