The personal cabinet of the **Veles** platform is available at:

👉 [https://veles.finance/cabinet](https://veles.finance/cabinet)

The cabinet interface is divided into several pages, intended for a specific aspect of working with bots, strategies, and profile settings.

## Home page

On the Main page of the cabinet there are:

1. **Main menu** — switch between sections (the upper line on a PC or the "☰" button on mobile devices).
2. **Statistics Pane** — key indicators and metrics are displayed on the right.
3. **Showcase “Ready-made bots”** - a collection of educational strategies that can be copied, studied and tested.
4. **“My Bots" section** is a list of all your saved bots.

The cabinet's functions are constantly expanding, providing greater **reliability and convenience**.

### Ready-made Bots

Showcase **"Ready-made bots"** represents a selection of strategies designed for learning and experiments.
Before launching them to a real trading, always run the [**backtest**](https://help.veles.finance/en/platform/components/backtests/) to ensure the stability of the results.

### My Bots

**"My bots"** list is made of [cards of all the bots](https://help.veles.finance/en/platform/components/bot-card/) that you have saved.
With a lot of bots, use **filters** for convenience:

- **API key** — filter bots using any of the selected [Bindings](https://help.veles.finance/en/exchange/general/api/).
- **Algorithm** — filter bots by direction **Long** or **Short**.
- **Status** — filter running, stopped or failed bots.
- You can also set the sorting order: by **name**, **creation date** or **last update date**.

To reset the filters, click the **"Trash can"** button (🗑️).

### Technical support

To contact **technical support**, use the **"Help"** button in your personal cabinet.

On mobile devices open the menu ("☰" button on the left at the top), then scroll down to the button block. There is a light/dark theme switch ("light bulb"), a **"Help"** button and a language choice ("flag").

## Deals

The **Deals** section contains all the information on the trading operations of your bots.

### Active deals

Only **open deals** from the running bots are displayed here.
If the bot is not trading at the moment, it will not be visible in this list.
