The Gaudio OTT dashboard
The Dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in: an immediate overview of the markets that matter, with the main indices, futures and ETFs always in view.
The Dashboard: the four customizable cards on top, with the main indices, futures and ETF blocks below.
What this page shows
Section titled “What this page shows”The dashboard is organised into four blocks, top to bottom:
- Your Symbols — the customizable cards with the instruments you choose (Premium and Ultra).
- Main indices — S&P 500 (SPX), Nasdaq 100 (NDX), Russell 2000 (RUT) and Dow Jones (DJI).
- Futures — the most followed contracts: E-mini S&P 500 (ES), E-mini Nasdaq 100 (NQ), E-mini Russell 2000 (RTY) and VIX futures (VX). This block is included in Premium and Ultra.
- ETF — SPY, QQQ, DIA and IWM.
Why traders use it
Section titled “Why traders use it”It answers one question in a few seconds: is today a broad move or a narrow one? Comparing the indices against the futures and the ETF block tells you whether the move is index-wide, concentrated, or already priced into the futures ahead of the cash open. That read decides which symbol is worth opening in detail.
How to read an instrument card
Section titled “How to read an instrument card”Each card shows:
- the current price;
- the daily change, in absolute and percentage terms;
- the session high and low;
- a mini chart of the recent trend.
Two interactions:
- the heart icon adds or removes the instrument from your favorites;
- clicking the card opens the Symbol overview of that instrument, which makes it the active symbol for the whole Symbol section.
Automatic refresh
Section titled “Automatic refresh”Dashboard data refreshes automatically every 60 seconds, and a countdown shows the time remaining until the next refresh. Coming back to the tab after leaving it in the background triggers an immediate refresh. See Is the data real time?

Frequently asked questions
What does the Gaudio OTT dashboard show?
Four blocks: your customizable cards, the main indices (SPX, NDX, RUT, DJI), the most followed futures (ES, NQ, RTY, VX) and the main ETFs (SPY, QQQ, DIA, IWM). Each card carries price, daily change, session high and low, and a mini chart.
How do I open the detail of an instrument from the dashboard?
Click anywhere on its card. That opens the Symbol overview of the instrument and makes it the active symbol, so every page in the Symbol section of the side menu then refers to it.
How often does the dashboard refresh?
Every 60 seconds automatically, with a countdown showing the time until the next refresh. Returning to a background tab triggers an immediate refresh, and a manual refresh button is also available.
Why do I not see the futures block?
The futures card is part of the Premium and Ultra plans. On Free and Strategy the dashboard shows the indices and ETF blocks only.
How do I add an instrument to my favorites from the dashboard?
Click the heart icon on its card. A filled heart means the instrument is in your favorites; clicking again removes it.
