# Imbalance trading dashboard

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

<details>

<summary><strong>Where can I find the imbalance prices?</strong></summary>

Imbalance prices are shown in the **Pro dashboard → Energy Trading** screen, but only when imbalance trading is active for your project. You can also view historical imbalance prices on the **Settings → Imbalance Trading** settings page, where a chart displays the prices retrieved from the market.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.voltmasters.io/voltmasters-platform/7.-pro-dashboard/7.2-imbalance-trading-dashboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
