Shadow a strategy in sim mode?

Is it possible to shadow different exit strategies (tw config files) for testing purposes using multiple sim accounts? say i want to actively trade my current strategy (live or sim) but I want to see how a different strategy would have behaved under different exit parameters...
Can i have a different sim account copy my entries but apply different exits to different sim accounts? This way I can trade my current strategy while simultaneously forward test different versions.

We are not really understanding what you want to do.

You can definitely trade multiple Simulation accounts and try different strategies on different charts. Refer to the following for how to have multiple Simulation accounts:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Number of Simulation Accounts (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General)

And there is the ability to copy trades between accounts, but this copies all the orders, and does not have a way to only copy some orders:

thanks for responding....

To be more clear I would like to test two or more DIFFERENT EXIT strategies in RT sim mode using different sim accounts....
the parent account (example.sim1) uses EXIT strategy A which is a separate TWconfig file. (BRACKET, BE,TRAILSTOP ORDERS)
the copy account (sim2) uses EXIT strategy B, also a separate TWconfig file.

so to be clear the entries are copied...the EXITS are left to run by each TWconfig file...this way i can determine which EXIT offers best opportunity/numbers

There is not a way to do this using the built-in tools (copy the Entries).

You could do this by creating a custom study. Refer to the information starting at the following:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Introduction

Or you can contact a programmer from the list here:
