# Trader dashboard: the home after you sign in

After website Sign in you land here. Numbers on this page summarize your test or funded accounts. You do not place trades here. Use the left menu (or phone tabs) to open each tool.

## Step 1: What the numbers mean (no jargon assumed)

Open [Trader dashboard](https://smpfund.com/account). If you see a lock, confirm email first ([Create a website account](https://smpfund.com/help/create-account)).

Equity is roughly “what the account is worth now” including open trades. Daily loss used is how much of today’s allowed loss you already consumed. Max loss used is how close you are to failing the whole account. Payout tiles only matter after you are funded.

Small question-mark icons explain each label without leaving the page. Tap them.

Empty state “start your first challenge” means you have not paid yet — go to the [Shop](https://smpfund.com/shop).

## Step 2: The left menu is the map of every tool

On a computer, the list on the left is permanent. On a phone, five tabs at the bottom cover the most-used pages; the rest stay in the menu.

You will use often: [My challenges](https://smpfund.com/account/challenges) (status of the test), [Trade history](https://smpfund.com/account/trade-history) (all your trades), [Credentials](https://smpfund.com/account/credentials) (MetaTrader password), [News calendar](https://smpfund.com/account/news-calendar), [Payouts](https://smpfund.com/account/payouts), [KYC](https://smpfund.com/account/kyc), [Tickets](https://smpfund.com/account/tickets), and this [Help center](https://smpfund.com/help).

In Trade history you pick an account and see MetaTrader-style statistics, charts and every closed trade, and you can export them as CSV. A challenge page shows only the latest few trades.

Quick-action buttons on the dashboard jump to the same places. They do not start a trade.

## Related guides

- [My challenges: status, targets, and why MT5 is not enough](https://smpfund.com/help/challenges): This list is the official status of each test (preparing, active, passed, failed). Profit target and loss limits are enforced here. MetaTrader only shows broker P&L.
- [Sign in to the website (not MetaTrader)](https://smpfund.com/help/sign-in): The Sign in page is only for this website. MetaTrader has a separate login, password, and server that appear later under Credentials. Mixing the two is the most common beginner mistake.
- [If you are new: what this site is](https://smpfund.com/help/how-the-site-works): This is a prop-trading site. You buy a challenge (a test account), trade on MetaTrader with our rules, and if you pass you may get a funded account and a payout. You do not need to know jargon yet — start here.
- [Map of every leftover panel page](https://smpfund.com/help/more-in-the-panel): If a sidebar item is not in another article, start here. My orders, Accounting, Invoices, Language, Appearance, My data and Notifications each have a real page — tap the links.
- [Contests: race a free demo account for a funded prize](https://smpfund.com/help/contests): Contests are optional and free — no purchase needed. Registration and the contest itself run on separate date windows. Login details for the contest account only appear once trading starts, and the standard drawdown, news, and breach rules still apply.
