What changes between backtest confidence and live supervision

The terminal exists because strategy quality is only one part of execution quality.

Routing
Broker behavior matters

Order acceptance, latency, session context, and account state all affect live behavior even when the strategy logic is unchanged.

Visibility
Operators need immediate context

A bot that technically runs but cannot be supervised clearly is operationally weak. The terminal should compress health, capital, and status into one view.

Discipline
Intervention rules should exist before the first live trade

You should already know what spread, slippage, drawdown, or engine behavior would justify a pause or shutdown.

Try it — slippage & fills

A market order takes whatever price is available. The larger and more urgent the order relative to liquidity, the further your average fill drifts from the quote.

Do not promote directly from a promising backtest into full-size live flow.
