# The Challenge Dashboard Explained

Open any account and you land on its dashboard, your control panel for that Challenge.

Here's every part of it, top to bottom.

<figure><img src="/files/OO7R8K5bvC6VtrAJD1dc" alt=""><figcaption><p>Tasks and Risks on the Challenge dashboard</p></figcaption></figure>

***

## Top bar

* **Stage badge**: your current stage (Challenge Stage 1, Stage 2, Trader, Trader Transition, Failed).
* **Account name and size**: for example, Elite $50,000.
* **Last updated**: click the arrow to the right of the Challenge name to see when the dashboard last refreshed.

{% hint style="info" %}
The dashboard updates roughly every **10 minutes**: it is **not** real-time. Your figures can lag the market a little, so if a number looks behind, check the last-updated time (the arrow next to the Challenge name).
{% endhint %}

## Equity and Balance (the chart)

* **Balance**: your account after all **closed** positions and fees.
* **Equity**: your **current** account value, including open positions.

The gap between them is your unrealized profit or loss. The chart also marks the **Max. daily loss** and **Max. total loss** lines so you can see how close you are. Use the **1W / 1D / 1H** buttons to change the range.

{% hint style="info" %}
The dashboard always shows the exact equity level at which the Challenge would fail, so you can see how much room you have left at a glance.
{% endhint %}

## Payouts

On the **Trader** stage, where you trade a funded account, this block shows:

* **Days until payout** and the **payout date**.
* **Profit** earned in the current period.
* **Profit Share**: your percentage (**80%**, or **90%** with Profit Split).

When the period arrives and your positions are closed, click **Withdraw profit** to move your profit to your **Wallet**: that's the first step of a payout. See [Profit share and payouts](/hashhedge-user-guide/account-and-payouts/profit-payouts.md).

## Tasks

The two conditions you have to complete, each shown as progress toward its goal:

* **Earn**: the profit you have made against the profit target for the stage.
* **Trading days**: how many trading days you have made out of the **5** the stage requires (**3** in the One-stage Challenge). A trading day is any day on which you opened at least one position.

{% hint style="info" %}
Both tasks have to be complete. In the screenshot above `Earn` is already past its target, `$27,891` of `$16,000`, while `Trading days` shows `3/5`: the stage is not passed until the last two days are traded.
{% endhint %}

## Risks

* **Daily loss**: how much of today's daily loss limit you've used (e.g. $0 / $2,500).
* **Total loss**: how much of the overall loss limit you've used.

Keep both well clear of their limits. If either is reached, your positions are closed and the account fails.

## Stage targets

The table below is for the **Two-stage Challenge**; the **One-stage Challenge** asks for a **10%** target within **3%** daily and **6%** total. See [Challenge types](/hashhedge-user-guide/start-here/challenge-types.md).

The comparison table shows the requirements for each stage. The values are the same on every account size (only the dollar amounts scale):

|                  | Stage 1 | Stage 2 | Trader |
| ---------------- | ------- | ------- | ------ |
| Profit target    | 8%      | 6%      | none   |
| Daily loss       | 5%      | 5%      | 5%     |
| Total loss       | 10%     | 8%      | 8%     |
| Min trading days | 5       | 5       | none   |
| Max leverage     | 1:5     | 1:5     | 1:5    |

Check the dashboard often to track your progress and stay within the limits. For what each stage badge means, see [Your accounts and stages](/hashhedge-user-guide/account-and-payouts/accounts-stages.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hashhedge.gitbook.io/hashhedge-user-guide/account-and-payouts/trader-dashboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
