# Dashboard

The Dashboard is the main screen you see after logging in. It shows the live price of [USDT](https://docs.p2pprice.app/glossary/) (a digital dollar worth about 1 US dollar) for your chosen currency, along with how much is available to buy or sell right now.

## Buy price and sell price

The Dashboard shows two headline numbers for your chosen [fiat](https://docs.p2pprice.app/glossary/) currency (fiat means regular government money, like SAR or EGP).

- **Buy price** is the price you pay when you want to buy USDT. This is the [buy price](https://docs.p2pprice.app/glossary/) on the [P2P](https://docs.p2pprice.app/glossary/) market.
- **Sell price** is the price you receive when you sell USDT. This is the [sell price](https://docs.p2pprice.app/glossary/) on the P2P market.

Think of it like a money exchange booth: one number is what they charge you, and one number is what they pay you.

## Spread

The [spread](https://docs.p2pprice.app/glossary/) is the gap between the buy price and the sell price. A smaller spread is usually better. It means the market is active and prices are close together. A wide spread means buyers and sellers are far apart in what they want.

The Dashboard shows the spread as a chip (a small label) right next to the main prices.

## Total liquidity and per-CEX breakdown

[Liquidity](https://docs.p2pprice.app/glossary/) is how much USDT is available for trading right now. More liquidity means more USDT is on offer and you can trade larger amounts.

The Dashboard shows:

- **Total liquidity**: the combined USDT available across all [CEXs](https://docs.p2pprice.app/glossary/) (CEXs, or centralized exchanges, are platforms like Binance where you can trade crypto) that P2P Price watches.
- **Per-CEX breakdown**: a list that shows each CEX's share of that total, with an amount and a percentage. This helps you see which platforms have the most activity.

## Per-CEX tiles

Below the summary, the Dashboard shows one tile for each CEX. Each tile includes:

- The CEX's own **buy price** and **sell price** for your currency.
- The **spread** for that CEX.
- A **depth bar**: a visual bar that shows how much USDT is "for sale" (sell side) versus "to buy" (buy side) on that platform. A longer bar on one side means more offers exist there.

## Weak market badge and low activity note

- **Weak market badge**: if a CEX's market has low activity, the tile shows a "weak market" badge. This is a warning that prices on that platform may not reflect normal conditions.
- **Low activity note**: if both the buy price and the sell price are missing for a CEX, the tile shows a low activity note instead of prices.

## How prices update

The Dashboard does **not** refresh on its own. Prices update in two situations:

1. You switch to a different currency tab.
2. You press the retry button to manually load fresh data.

If you want the latest prices, switch the currency or press retry.

## Currency tabs and favorites

At the top of the Dashboard you see currency tabs. You can save up to **4 favorite** currencies. Your favorites appear first in the tab bar so you can reach them quickly.

**Keyboard shortcut**: press the number keys **1 to 9** to jump to a favorite by its position. For example, press 1 to go to your first favorite, press 2 to go to your second, and so on. This shortcut does nothing while you are typing in a text field.

You can add or remove currencies from your favorites in the tab list.

> **Note**: the verified merchant star (which marks trusted sellers) appears on the CEX Ads page, not here on the Dashboard.
