The **Imbalance Trading** dashboard is available when the imbalance trading module is active for this project.

### What this dashboard shows

-   **Battery control set-points** for each battery, alongside actual power and requested power.
-   **Control signal chart** showing the active control modes over time (e.g., self-consumption, max import, max export, standby).
-   **Grid power** showing measured power exported to or imported from the grid.

Imbalance trading interacts with the EMS algorithm: when the module is enabled, trading signals from the service provider take priority over standard strategy decisions.

### Frequently asked questions

**Where can I find the imbalance prices?**

Imbalance prices are shown in the **Analysis → Advanced → Trading** screen, but only when external control is active for your project. The imbalance prices chart itself sits on **Monitoring → Overview**; it used to live on the **Configuration → Grid & market → External control** settings page, which now links to the dashboard instead.
