MyFXBook is an independent analytics platform that connects to a trading account through broker credentials and publishes its results automatically. A verified track record indicates that the history displayed by MyFXBook matches the trading history received through the connected broker account at the time of verification.

This provides stronger evidence than a screenshot or manually prepared statement, but investors should still review the tracking period, account type, leverage, deposits, withdrawals, open positions and publicly available history.

What MyFXBook verification does — and does not — prove

StatusWhat it supportsWhat it does not prove
Verified track recordThe displayed history matches information received through the connected broker accountFuture returns, safety or low risk
Verified trading privilegesThe account publisher has the access required to perform MyFXBook's verification actionProfitability or real/demo status by itself
Real account labelMyFXBook currently displays the account as using real fundsThat the strategy is safe or suitable for every investor
Public historyVisitors can inspect the history made publicly available on the account pageThat future results will match historical performance

What 'verified' actually means

  • Verified track record — Indicates that the trading history displayed by MyFXBook matches the history received through the connected broker account at the time of verification. It provides stronger evidence of historical trading activity than a screenshot or manually prepared spreadsheet. It does not guarantee future performance, profitability or a specific level of risk.
  • Verified trading privileges — Confirms that the account publisher has access to the master trading credentials or can perform MyFXBook's required verification action. This status does not, by itself, determine whether the account is real or demo.
  • No verification badge — Manually prepared or uploaded statements; treat with additional caution.

The numbers worth checking

  1. Tracking duration — how long the account has been live
  2. Account type — whether MyFXBook currently displays it as real or demo
  3. Maximum drawdown, and at what leverage it was measured
  4. Profit factor — gross profit divided by gross loss
  5. Number of trades — a handful of trades tells you little
  6. Deposits and withdrawals — large injections can flatter percentage figures
  7. Open positions and how much of the history is publicly visible
