Account & Settings
Everything about your account lives in the user menu (bottom of the app sidebar): Profile, Subscription, Bug Reports, Feature Requests, Documentation, and Log out.
Profile Settings
Open Profile from the user menu to manage:
- Full Name — how you're addressed in the app
- Default Timezone — used when interpreting and displaying trade timestamps. Set this to match the timezone your platform exports use, so session analysis lands in the right buckets
- Preferred Currency — display currency for monetary values
- Change password — for email/password accounts (Google sign-in accounts manage credentials with Google)
- Comment notifications — toggle email notifications when someone replies to your bug reports or feedback
- Usage stats — how many strategies, portfolios, and uploads your account holds
Subscription & Plans
The Subscription page shows your current plan, your trial countdown while a trial is running, and meters for the monthly allowances (composition runs and full-fidelity Health Validations), which reset each month.
| Plan | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Free | Explore AlgoChef with the built-in sample strategies. Importing your own strategies and saving portfolios need a paid plan |
| Analyzer | Your own strategies with the Quality Report, Monte Carlo, Health Monitor, Strategy vs Benchmark, Head-to-Head and Crisis Dependency, plus hand-built portfolios and a monthly allowance of composition runs |
| Risk Pro | Everything in Analyzer with unlimited strategies and portfolios, a larger composition allowance, and Compare recipes (Bake-Off). Rotation joins Risk Pro once it is released |
A free trial of Analyzer or Risk Pro runs on the paid plan itself, so you see the full plan during it. Exact limits and allowances for each plan are on the pricing page; what you can do depends on your plan.
Info
Account suspended? This usually means a trial has ended. The Subscription page stays reachable and walks you through reactivating. Your imported data is not deleted.
Sample Data
New accounts include read-only sample strategies (marked Sample · read-only in the Strategy Hub) so every feature is explorable before your first import. Some analysis features may prompt you to import your own data — samples exist for learning the interface, not for drawing conclusions.
Bug Reports & Feature Requests
- Bug Reports — open Bug Reports → Report Bug from the user menu. Include what you did, what you expected, and what happened; each report becomes a thread where the team can follow up (enable comment notifications in your Profile to hear back by email). Tip: Copy strategy ID from the Strategy Hub row menu if the bug involves a specific strategy.
- Feature Requests — opens the public feature request board where you can propose ideas and vote on others.
Legal & Data
- Signup requires accepting the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Risk Disclosure.
- AlgoChef is an analytical tool — it evaluates historical and simulated performance and never provides trade signals or investment advice.
- Support and privacy questions: support@algochef.app
Common Questions
Can I use AlgoChef on multiple devices? Yes — your account and data are cloud-based; sign in anywhere.
How do I delete my account or data? Delete individual strategies/portfolios anytime from their libraries. For full account deletion, contact support@algochef.app or see the Privacy Policy.
Why can't I see a feature the docs describe? Feature visibility depends on your plan, and a few advanced capabilities roll out gradually (for example, Rotation is not released yet). If a page shows a "Soon" badge, that's why.
