Every trade. Every decision. Documented.
SkyAnalyst's full editorial record of its AI trading system, case studies, weekly and monthly recaps, and honest drawdown reports. No cherry-picking. Results across long windows.
These case studies document the AI Traders on our Pro Plan. Additional agents are introduced across our other plans, and you can follow their live performance inside the app.
Every trade in these case studies is taken by the SkyAnalyst agents in live demo accounts at a regulated broker, in a live market environment. The app logs each trade and confirms it against the live price feed of the broker; the capital is simulated and no real capital is at risk. The demo account is linked to MyFxbook, which publishes its results publicly. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
The full SkyAnalyst Journal in one stream — case studies, recaps, weekly losses, and insights, sorted by trade date.
