The Rates Section — the Main Number and 'Market'
What the rate cards at the top of the Pilotbot dashboard mean: the main reference number the bot prices from, and the 'Market' figure next to it.

At the top of the dashboard is a row of rate cards — one per currency pair you trade (for example USDT/RUB, USDT/THB). They tell you the rate Pilotbot is pricing from, so you always know the basis for its decisions.
What Each Card Shows
Every card has three parts:
- The pair — e.g. USDT/RUB.
- The main number (large) — the reference rate Pilotbot uses as the anchor for pricing your ads on that pair. Every price the bot calculates is built around this number and then adjusted for your position and safety corridor.
- "Market" + a number — the current market rate for the pair, shown for comparison.
When the main number and the Market number match, the bot's anchor is exactly the live market rate. When they differ, it means Pilotbot is pricing from its own reference for that pair rather than the raw market figure — useful to know when you're checking why a price came out where it did.
Why the Reference Rate Matters
Your ad's price is not set in a vacuum — it's derived from this reference rate. That's what makes the safety corridor meaningful: the hard ±19.9% limit is measured against this reference, so the main number is the centre of the safe band your price can move within.
Base Pairs
Some accounts also show a Base pairs group (e.g. USDT/USD, USDC/USD, USDT/EUR) — these are the underlying reference rates the platform tracks to value your pairs. You don't need to manage them; they're there for transparency.
