```

**Account:** $50,000

**Configuration:**

AutoDailyReport = true
AutoWeeklyReport = true
AutoMonthlyReport = true

ExportReportCSV = true

// Dashboard (detailed + large)
EnableChartDashboard = true

***

#### **Example 4: Multiple Accounts**

**Setup:** 3 accounts being monitored

```

AutoDailyReport = true
EnableChartDashboard = true
DashboardSize = MEDIUM
```

**Account 2 & 3 (Secondary):**

***

### ⚠️ Common Mistakes

#### ❌ **Mistake 1: No Reporting Enabled**

**Bad:**

```
EnableReport = false
// No performance tracking, flying blind!
```

**Good:**

```
EnableReport = true
AutoDailyReport = true
```

**Why:** Can't improve what you don't measure.

***

#### ❌ **Mistake 2: Too Many Reports**

**Bad:**

```
AutoDailyReport = true
AutoWeeklyReport = true
AutoMonthlyReport = true
// On 5 different accounts = 15+ reports/day!
```

**Good:**

```
// Enable what you actually review
AutoDailyReport = true  // Main review
AutoWeeklyReport = false
AutoMonthlyReport = false
```

**Why:** Information overload leads to ignoring reports.

***

#### ❌ **Mistake 3: Wrong Report Time**

**Bad:**

```
ReportTime = "12:00"  // Middle of trading day!
```

**Good:**

```
ReportTime = "23:59"  // End of day
```

**Why:** Mid-day reports don't reflect full daily performance.

***

#### ❌ **Mistake 4: Dashboard Too Large**

**Bad:**

```
DashboardSize = LARGE
// On small laptop screen, covers half the chart!
```

**Good:**

```
DashboardSize = SMALL  // or MEDIUM
DashboardPosition = corner that doesn't overlap key levels
```

**Why:** Dashboard should enhance, not obstruct trading view.

***

#### ❌ **Mistake 5: Not Using CSV Export**

**Bad:**

```
ExportReportCSV = false
// Can't do detailed analysis later
```

**Good:**

```
ExportReportCSV = true
// Monthly Excel analysis to find edge
```

**Why:** CSV data enables deep analysis that Telegram reports can't provide.

***

```

***

#### ✅ **6. Dashboard Position Strategy**
