The bot log efficiently displays all of your bot's activity, including automations, events, actions, errors, warnings, and manually opened or closed positions.
You can access a bot’s log in the Log tab of the bot dashboard.
The log is a detailed record of a bot’s history. The most recent activity is listed first, with the automation’s last run date and time displayed, along with the number of actions the automation performed.
Bot activity is immediately displayed in the bot log.
You can select any automation to see a detailed log of its actions.
You can select decisions to see the specific data the bot referenced when the automation ran and learn why the bot followed the “Yes” or “No” path.
For example, the automation checked to see if SPY’s price was below $439.93. SPY’s price was 448.70, so the automation followed the “No” path because it was above the EMA.
You can filter to view certain automation types, combinations of automations, errors, or warnings the bot encountered.
To view any inputs used in the automation, hover the mouse over the “i” icon for more information.

FAQs
Where can I see exactly what my bot is doing?

Where can I see if there are potential errors or issues with a bot?
The bot log allows you to view all errors a bot has encountered.

Why does the bot log show multiple records for the same timeframe during the day?
The bot log displays all automation activity. Bots can have more than one scanner and monitor automations running, so it is possible to have multiple automations run simultaneously at each scheduled interval.
What does the number in the Actions column represent?
The Actions column displays the steps that your automation completed before ending. So, if your automation has six decision actions before opening a position and the Actions tab shows three, it means the automation ended after the third action.
