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 tier, trial countdown (if applicable), and usage against your plan's limits.
| Tier | Who it's for |
|---|---|
| Free | Exploring with samples and light personal use |
| Trial | Full evaluation access for a limited time |
| Analyzer | Single-strategy validation workflow — import, Quality Report, Monte Carlo, Health |
| Risk Pro | Everything, including the full portfolio construction and robustness toolkit |
Usage limits (for example, composition runs per month) reset on a monthly cycle; the page shows a usage bar so you always know where you stand. When you hit a plan limit mid-action, the app shows an upgrade prompt rather than failing silently.
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.
- Privacy questions: privacy@algochef.app · Support: 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. If a page shows a "Soon" badge or an upgrade prompt, that's why.
