  • Dashboard States & Behavior:
    • AUTO: EA runs its signal orchestration and opens trades automatically. Manual trade buttons are hidden.
    • MANAGE: EA will not auto-open trades; manual buy/sell buttons and entry UI are active to let you place or manage trades.
    • PAUSED: Trading logic paused; UI still visible for review but order execution disabled.
  • Persistence & Positioning:
    • Your dashboard settings, panel positions, and preferences are automatically saved between sessions
    • Layout adjusts automatically when you change screen resolution
  • Quick Tips:
    • To manage manual trades created outside BananaEA, set Magic = 0 (Trade Management Mode). See trade-management-mode.md for details.
    • When switching from AUTO to MANAGE, the dashboard shows immediate access to manual controls; switching back returns to automated signal processing.
