The **Actions Panel** provides quick access to essential bot-level operations for monitoring performance, managing system state, and maintaining uninterrupted automation. These controls are critical to the proper functioning and longevity of your trading session.

***

#### 🔵 View Metrics

* Opens the **Performance Dashboard**, where you can:
  * View all executed trade requests (BUY, SELL, CLOSE)
  * Analyze success/failure rates
  * See request timing breakdowns (slowest, fastest, average)
  * Export session logs for review

> Useful for validating the bot’s behavior and tuning execution parameters like delay and window detection.

***

#### 🟠 Shutdown Bot

* Immediately shuts down the bot process running on the VPS.
* Use this only if:
  * You need to stop automation completely
  * You want to reset or reconfigure the session
  * You're ending your trading day and prefer a clean stop

> ⚠️ All future webhook alerts will be ignored once the bot is shut down. You will need to **manually restart the bot** to resume operations.

***

#### 🟢 Disconnect RDP (🛑 **Critical for Bot Functioning**)

> ✅ **Required Step Before Logging Out!**

* Use this **instead of the Windows "X" or log-off button** when ending your session.
* What it does:
  * Logs you off **securely**
  * **Keeps the user session alive** on the VPS
  * Allows the RenkoGurus VPS Bot to continue running in the background

> If you skip this step and simply close your RDP window or shut down the session incorrectly, the **bot will stop functioning** — as the Windows UI session is terminated.

***

#### 🧠 Best Practices

* Always **click "Disconnect RDP"** before logging off to maintain automation.
* Use **"View Metrics"** daily to track trade health and response time.
* Reserve **"Shutdown Bot"** only for intentional stops or troubleshooting.
