[amibroker] virtual trades (not IB paper account)

Does Amibroker have a mechanism for executing virtual trades during backtesting and tracking those results independently from actual trades?  As I mentioned in my flurry of questions last week, I am in the process of migrating some stuff over to AB from Traders Studio and TStudio has a way of doing this.

If not, there may be a work-around.  The way I use it is a system is coded to track the performance of the past n-trades to longer historical performance metrics and has the ability to shut itself down during periods of under-performance.  That is the easy part.  The virtual trades however allow the system to keep trading itself virtually and can turn itself back on when the n-trade expectancy rises back to some predetermined level.  This allows backtesting results to mirror the affects of doing in real-time what is a relatively intuitive thing to do when a system starts to under-perform.
