Each virtual account in AI Trading Journal is a separate trading environment with its own starting balance, leverage, broker cost profile and risk limits. You can create one account for daily manual trading, a second account for forward-testing scalp strategies with Raw-ECN spreads, and a third account for practicing prop-firm rules so their results never get mixed together.
Example: you create two $10,000 virtual accounts (one with the Standard cost profile and one with Raw-ECN) and run the same strategy on both so you can see in the Strategies × accounts table how much the spread and commission difference changes net profit.

Protective risk limits, account reset and archive

Risk limits: if the account's daily loss reaches Daily loss limit or total drawdown reaches Max drawdown, the account automatically blocks new trades so your trading discipline stays intact.
Pause on weekends: turning this on pauses strategy runs over the weekend so your account avoids Monday opening price gaps.
Reset account: if you want to start fresh from the initial balance, use the reset option under Danger zone in the Settings window; you can also archive or delete old accounts there.
