Reading the Dashboard

Your home base for tracking everything that matters.

What You See When You Log In

The dashboard is the first thing you see when you open TickerTrust. It shows three main sections: your portfolio at the top, your watchlist in the middle, and important updates at the bottom.

Everything on the dashboard is designed to answer one question: "What do I need to pay attention to today?" You don't have to dig through charts and spreadsheets. The dashboard brings the important stuff to you.

Your Portfolio Summary

At the top, you see the total value of your portfolio and how much it changed today. Green means your portfolio went up. Red means it went down. You'll see both the dollar amount and the percentage.

Below that, you can see each stock you own and how much it helped or hurt your total today. This makes it easy to spot which stocks are doing well and which ones need attention.

Your Watchlist

The watchlist shows stocks you're keeping an eye on but might not own yet. Each stock shows its current price, how much it changed today, and its TrustScore.

When something big happens โ€” like a stock's TrustScore jumps or drops by a lot โ€” the watchlist highlights it for you. This way you don't have to check every stock one by one.

The Decision Summary

At the bottom, you'll find a summary of the most important changes. Things like "AAPL's score dropped 8 points" or "3 of your watchlist stocks hit new highs" show up here.

This section also shows market-wide information like how the S&P 500 and NASDAQ are doing. It helps you understand the bigger picture before you start analyzing individual stocks.
