## Introduction

The live results page shows your algorithm's live trading performance. Review the results page to see how your algorithm has been performing and to investigate ways to improve it.

## View Live Results

The live results page automatically displays when you [deploy a live algorithm](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/live-trading/deployment.md#05-Wizard). The page presents the algorithm's equity curve, holdings, trades, logs, server statistics, and much more information.

![Live result interface](https://cdn.quantconnect.com/i/tu/view-live-results-1.png)

The content in the live results page updates as your algorithm executes. You can close or refresh the window without interrupting the algorithm because the live trading node processes on our servers. If you close the page, you can [view all of your live projects](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/live-trading/results.md#14-View-All-Live-Projects), open the project, and then click the ![Deploy live icon](https://cdn.quantconnect.com/i/tu/deploy-live-icon.png) **Deploy Live** icon at the top of the IDE to open the page again.

## Runtime Statistics

The banner at the top of the live results page displays the performance statistics of your algorithm.

![Live runtime statistics](https://cdn.quantconnect.com/i/tu/runtime-statistics-live-1.png)

The following table describes the default runtime statistics:

| Statistic | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Equity | The total portfolio value if all of the holdings were sold at current market rates. Equity equals the sum of cash and the market value of all open positions. |
| Fees | The total quantity of fees paid for all the transactions during the algorithm's trading period. Total fees include brokerage commissions, exchange fees, and other transaction costs. |
| Holdings | The absolute sum of the items in the portfolio. Holdings represent the total market value of all positions, regardless of whether they are long or short. |
| Net Profit | The dollar-value return across the entire trading period. |
| PSR | The probability that the estimated Sharpe ratio of an algorithm is greater than a benchmark. |
| Return | The rate of return across the entire trading period. |
| Unrealized | The amount of profit a portfolio would capture if it liquidated all open positions and paid the fees for transacting and crossing the spread. Unrealized profit becomes realized profit when the positions are closed. |
| Volume | The total value of assets traded for all of an algorithm's transactions during the trading period. |

To see the resources of the node that runs the algorithm, see [Server Statistics](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/writing-algorithms/statistics/server-statistics.md).

To add a custom runtime statistic, see [Add Statistics](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/writing-algorithms/statistics/runtime-statistics.md#03-Add-Statistics).

If you [stop](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/live-trading/algorithm-control.md#05-Stop-the-Algorithm) and redeploy a live algorithm, the runtime statistics are reset.

## Built-in Charts

The live results page displays the equity curve of your algorithm so that you can analyze its performance in real-time.

![Live strategy equity candle chart](https://cdn.quantconnect.com/i/tu/live-strategy-equity.png)

The following table describes the series in the Strategy Equity chart:

| Series | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Equity | The live equity curve of your algorithm. |
| Out of Sample Backtest | The [backtest equity curve](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/live-trading/reconciliation.md) of your algorithm during the live trading period. |
| Meta | Points in time when you deployed your algorithm, stopped your algorithm, and when your algorithm encountered a runtime error. |

The following table describes the other charts displayed on the page:

| Chart | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Drawdown | A time series of equity peak-to-trough value. |
| Benchmark | A time series of the benchmark closing price (SPY, by default). |
| Exposure | A time series of long and short exposure ratios. |
| Assets Sales Volume | A chart showing the proportion of total volume for each traded security. |
| Portfolio Turnover | A time series of the portfolio turnover rate. |
| Portfolio Margin | A stacked area chart of the portfolio margin usage. For more information about this chart, see [Portfolio Margin Plots](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/backtesting/results/portfolio-margin-plots.md). |
| Asset Plot | A time series of an asset's price with order event annotations. For more information about these charts, see [Asset Plots](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/live-trading/results.md#05-Asset-Plots). |

## Asset Plots

Asset plots display the trade prices of an asset and the following [order events](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/writing-algorithms/trading-and-orders/order-events.md) you have for the asset:

| Order Event | Icon |
| --- | --- |
| Submissions | Gray circle |
| Updates | Blue circle |
| Cancellations | Gray square |
| Fills and partial fills | Green (buys) or red (sells) arrows |

The following image shows an example asset plot for AAPL:

![AAPL stock price with order events overlaid](https://cdn.quantconnect.com/i/tu/asset-plot-aapl.png)

The order submission icons aren't visible by default.

### View Plots

Follow these steps to open an asset plot:

1. Open the live results page.
2. Click the **Orders** tab.
3. Click the ![](https://cdn.quantconnect.com/i/tu/stock-plot-icon.png) **Asset Plot** icon that's next to the asset Symbol in the Orders table.

### Tool Tips

When you hover over one of the order events in the table, the asset plot highlights the order event, displays the asset price at the time of the event, and displays the [tag](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/writing-algorithms/trading-and-orders/order-properties.md#17-Tags) associated with the event. Consider adding helpful tags to each order event to help with debugging your algorithm. For example, when you cancel an order, you can add a tag that explains the reason for cancelling it.

### Adjust the Display Period

The resolution of the asset price time series in the plot doesn't necessarily match the resolution you set when you subscribed to the asset in your algorithm. If you are displaying the entire price series, the series usually displays the daily closing price. However, when you zoom in, the chart will adjust its display period and may use higher resolution data. To zoom in and out, perform either of the following actions:

- Click the **1m**, **3m**, **1y**, or **All** period in the top-right corner of the chart.
- Click a point on the chart and drag your mouse horizontally to highlight a specific period of time in the chart.

![gif that shows the price of AAPL while zooming in and out](https://cdn.quantconnect.com/i/tu/asset-plot-zoom-demo.gif)

If you have multiple order events in a single day and you zoom out on the chart so that it displays the daily closing prices, the plot aggregates the order event icons together as the price on that day.

### Order Fill Prices

The plot displays fill order events at the actual fill price of your orders. The fill price is usually not equal to the asset price that displays because of the following reasons:

- Your order experiences [slippage](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/writing-algorithms/reality-modeling/slippage/key-concepts.md).
- If you use quote data, your order fills at the bid or ask price.
- The [fill model](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/writing-algorithms/reality-modeling/trade-fills/key-concepts.md) may fill your order at the high or low price.

## Custom Charts

The results page shows the custom charts that you create.

### Supported Chart Types

We support the following types of charts:

*Members of `QuantConnect.SeriesType` (JSON): https://www.quantconnect.com/services/inspector?type=T:QuantConnect.SeriesType&language=python*

If you use `SeriesType.Candle` and plot enough values, the plot displays candlesticks. However, the `plot` method only accepts one numerical value per time step, so you can't plot candles that represent the open, high, low, and close values of each bar in your algorithm. The charting software automatically groups the data points you provide to create the candlesticks, so you can't control the period of time that each candlestick represents.

To create other types of charts, save the plot data in the Object Store and then load it into the Research Environment. In the Research Environment, you can [create other types of charts with third-party charting packages](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/research-environment/charting.md).

### Supported Markers

When you create scatter plots, you can set a marker symbol. We support the following marker symbols:

*Members of `QuantConnect.ScatterMarkerSymbol` (JSON): https://www.quantconnect.com/services/inspector?type=T:QuantConnect.ScatterMarkerSymbol&language=python*

### Chart Sampling

Charts are sampled every one and ten minutes. If you create 1-minute resolution custom charts, the IDE charting will downgrade the granularity and display the 10-minutes sampling after a certain amount of samples.

### Demonstration

For more information about creating custom charts, see [Charting](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/writing-algorithms/charting.md).

## Adjust Charts

You can manipulate the charts displayed on the live results page.

To refresh the charts, in the **Select Chart** section, click the **reset** icon.

## Holdings

The **Holdings** tab on the live results page displays your positions and cash.

![Live holdings table](https://cdn.quantconnect.com/i/tu/algorithm-holdings-live-1.gif)

The following table describes the properties that display for each of your positions:

| Property | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Symbol** | The ticker of the security. |
| **Average Price** | The average price that you paid for the position. |
| **Quantity** | The size of your position. |
| **Market Value** | The value of your position if sold with market orders. |
| **Unrealized** | The unrealized profit of your position, including fees and spread costs. |

The values in the positions section update as new data points are injected into your algorithm. The cash section displays the quantity of each currency in your algorithm's `CashBook`. View the **Holdings** tab to see your holdings, [add security subscriptions](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/live-trading/algorithm-control.md#02-Add-Security-Subscriptions), and [place manual orders](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/live-trading/algorithm-control.md#03-Place-Manual-Trades).

## Logs

The **Logs** tab on the live results page displays all of the [logging statements](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/projects/debugging.md#04-Logging-Statements) and status messages your algorithm creates. Their timestamps in the log file are in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The status messages include all of the points in time when your algorithm deployed, encountered an error, sent an order, or quit executing. It's good practice to add logs in live algorithms because then you can see what is happening while it executes. If you stop and redeploy your algorithm, the logs are retained. You can view the log file on the live results page or download them to your local machine.

### View in the GUI

To see the log file your algorithm has created, open the live results page and then click the **Logs** tab.

To filter the logs, enter a search string in the **Filter logs** field.
