What net overage means

"Net overage" is one of the key metrics you see in the dashboard. Understanding it is fundamental to correctly reading the status of your connected accounts. This guide explains the concept and how to relate it to other available metrics.

What is net overage

Net overage is the technical measurement of the aggregate result detected on the account after the application of all components that affect the operational balance. In the dashboard, it is not an estimated value: it is data derived from reading flows coming from the connected broker, normalized according to the platform's calculation rules.

The term "overage" indicates the portion exceeding an operational reference; the "net" qualifier specifies that the value is already cleared of components not attributable to the pure result. This distinction is important: without "net", you are looking at gross data that includes effects that do not belong to real performance.

How to read it in the dashboard

The dashboard displays the net overage in a position reserved for quick reading. The value must always be interpreted together with the chosen time reference (current month, since start of subscription, custom period when available). The same metric changes meaning if the time window changes: the guide Overage from start of subscription vs current month explores this difference in depth.

What net overage is not

Net overage is not:

• a prediction of future performance;
• a promise regarding account behavior in subsequent periods;
• an absolute measure disconnected from your account configuration.

Arbicsx provides technological software pursuant to D.Lgs. 58/1998 (TUF). The metric describes an observed technical state, not a guaranteed return. Capital remains at risk.

Why the metric is important

Correctly reading the net overage allows you to understand in a compact way how the account is performing relative to the chosen period. It is the starting point for more specific readings — capital health, performance, funded cycles — which are organized into successive levels of detail in the dashboard.

Relationship with other metrics

Net overage must always be read in dialogue with other dashboard metrics. Alone, it tells one part of the story; together with capital health, drawdown, and performance, it tells the full story. Hasty comparisons between overage and other values — taken from different time windows — are the most frequent cause of unbalanced interpretations.

Remember that aggregate values lose meaning when the base is too small. In the early stages, the metric is unstable by nature: it is not a problem, it is statistics. As data accumulates, the reading becomes more legible and more useful.

How to integrate the reading

• Do not just look at net overage: read it with capital health.
• Use the same time window for all compared metrics.
• Do not confuse daily variation with trend.

If the data does not match

If you suspect that the net overage does not reflect what you expect, first check:

• the selected time window;
• the status of the connection with the broker (guide Synchronization problems);
• any communications published in the Updates, releases, and maintenance category.

If the misalignment persists, open a ticket through support describing the period, the expected value, and the observed value.
