On the virtual accounts page, AI Strategy Studio and AI Trading Journal work together so you can practice and build a verified track record without risking real money. Manage all your virtual accounts, strategy runs, prop challenges (Challenges) and competitions (Competitions) in one place. Adjust open trades with the Manage button or on the chart, measure your manual edits against pure AI execution, and share a public page verified by a hash chain (SHA-256).

Example: on the virtual accounts page, open your virtual account and set a 3% daily drawdown limit on the Settings tab. On the open trades tab, check your manual edits on the Your manual actions this month card and turn on your verified public page link.

When you open the virtual accounts page, four tabs appear at the top of the page:

  • Accounts tab: lists all your virtual accounts (standard, challenge and competition accounts) with balance, equity, net profit, open trades and the New virtual account button.

  • Strategies × accounts tab: a matrix table showing which strategies run on which virtual accounts. Each cell displays net profit, closed trades, win rate (% won) and average R (such as 12 closed · 67% won · avg +0.65R).

  • Competitions tab: lists virtual-money competitions you can join in one click to get a dedicated virtual account with identical rules and track your rank.

  • Challenges tab: ready-made prop challenge templates with profit target, daily loss limit, max drawdown, minimum trading days and profit consistency rules. Test your strategy before buying a real challenge, and click Start a new attempt if an attempt fails.

Inspect trades, events and manual interventions

Click any virtual account to see the top summary strip with balance, equity, today's result, max drawdown and open risk, plus six tabs:

  1. Open trades tab: lists open virtual trades with the New trade button and the Manage button on each row. From the Manage menu, close the trade (Close now), close part of the size (Close part, such as 25%, 50% or 75%) or move the stop to entry (Move stop to entry). When you edit a strategy trade by hand, the forward test runs a "strategy only" shadow trade in the background. The Your manual actions this month card then shows how many dollars and R your manual actions added or cost.

  2. History tab: lists closed trades with entry price, the EXIT column (exit price, or weighted average with the avg badge on multi-target trades), lot size, dollar result, R multiple and exit reason.

  3. Event log tab: an append-only ledger of all account activity in order, which you can download with Export CSV.

  4. Equity and Report tabs: the equity curve chart and the full analytics report for the account in AI Trading Journal.

Set risk guardrails and share a verified page

On the Settings tab of any virtual account, you can manage protective risk rules, trading fees and track-record sharing:

  • Risk limits (Risk limits): set a daily loss limit (Daily loss limit), max total drawdown (Max drawdown) and maximum open trades. If the account hits your daily or total drawdown limit, open trades close automatically and the account is paused (halted). Click Resume trading to reactivate the account.

  • Custom costs per symbol (My own costs per symbol): besides picking a ready profile, you can set spread, commission and overnight Swap rates for buy (long) and sell (short) positions per symbol.

  • Verified public page with SHA-256 and Telegram notifications: turn on Public page to get a verified share link whose hash chain anyone can check with Check the log. Turn on Send this account's opened and closed trades to Telegram to send trade notifications straight to your Telegram.
