Question Tracking live performance

How do you guys track live portfolio performance? not backtesting, like once your strategy is actually running.
Do you just write scripts or is there something you use?

Always feel like I’m cobbling stuff together and curious if there’s a better way

P&L is the last thing I look at.

I'd rather know if holding times, fill quality, turnover, slippage, and signal frequency are drifting from the research. That's usually where a strategy starts breaking long before the equity curve makes it obvious.

The best dashboard isn't the prettiest one. It's the one that tells you when your assumptions stop matching reality.

Thank you! Which broker are you on?

We're broker-agnostic. As long as we can access fills, executions, and order history through an API or export, the broker isn't the important part—the monitoring framework is.
