- Verified results -- Third-party confirmation that your numbers are real, not fabricated

- Public sharing -- Share your verified results with others to build credibility

| Feature | MT4 Reports | Myfxbook |
|---|---|---|
| Third-party verified | No | Yes |
| Real-time updates | Manual export | Automatic |
| Advanced analytics | Basic | Comprehensive |
| Accessible anywhere | Local only | Web-based |
| Shareable link | No | Yes |
Step 1: Create a Myfxbook Account
- Visit myfxbook.com and click "Join" or "Sign Up"
- Enter your email address and choose a password
- Verify your email through the confirmation link
- Log in to your new Myfxbook dashboard
Step 2: Choose Your Connection Method
Myfxbook offers three ways to connect your MT4 account. Each has advantages depending on your situation:
| Method | Ease of Setup | Update Speed | Verified Badge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Update EA | Easy | Real-time | Yes |
| Investor Password | Easiest | Periodic | Yes |
| Publisher | Moderate | Periodic | Limited |
Method 1: Auto Update EA (Recommended)
This is the method I recommend for most traders because it provides real-time updates and the best analytics. Here are the exact steps:
- Log in to Myfxbook and go to Portfolio → Add Account
- Select "MetaTrader 4 (Auto Update)" as the platform
- Download the Myfxbook EA file that appears on the setup page
- Copy the downloaded .ex4 file to your MT4 MQL4/Experts folder (File → Open Data Folder → MQL4 → Experts)
- Restart MT4 so the EA appears in your Navigator panel
- Open any chart and drag the Myfxbook EA onto it
- In the EA settings dialog, enter your Myfxbook email and password
- On the Common tab, check "Allow live trading" and "Allow DLL imports"
- Click OK and wait -- the EA will connect and begin uploading your trade history
Important: The Myfxbook EA needs DLL imports enabled to communicate with Myfxbook servers. Go to Tools → Options → Expert Advisors and make sure "Allow DLL imports" is checked globally. Also ensure the AutoTrading button is green.
Method 2: Investor Password
This method requires no EA installation -- you just share read-only credentials with Myfxbook:
- In Myfxbook, go to Portfolio → Add Account
- Select "MetaTrader 4 (Investor Password)"
- Enter your MT4 account number
- Enter your investor (read-only) password -- not your trading password
- Select your broker name from the dropdown list
- Choose the correct server from the server list
- Click Connect and wait for Myfxbook to verify the connection
Never share your trading password with Myfxbook or anyone else. The investor password is read-only -- it allows viewing trades but cannot execute or modify any orders. You can find or change your investor password in MT4 under Tools → Options → Server.
Method 3: Publisher
This method uses MT4's built-in FTP publisher feature:
- In MT4, go to Tools → Options → Community
- Register or log in with your MQL5.com account
- Enable "Publish my trading signals"
- On Myfxbook, select the Publisher method when adding your account
- Follow the on-screen instructions to link the two accounts
This method is less common and may not provide the "Verified" badge. I recommend Auto Update or Investor Password instead.
Getting the Myfxbook Verified Badge
The "Verified" badge on Myfxbook tells everyone that your trading results are legitimate and confirmed by a third party. To qualify for verification:
- Connection method: Must use Auto Update EA or Investor Password (Publisher alone may not qualify)
- Trading history visible: Your complete trade history must be accessible to Myfxbook
- Broker identifiable: Myfxbook must be able to confirm which broker hosts the account
- Active connection: The connection must remain active -- disconnected accounts lose verification
Our Golden Viper EA Myfxbook page is fully verified, showing every trade in real-time. We believe transparency is essential for building trust with our users.
Troubleshooting Connection Issues
Myfxbook EA Not Connecting
- Verify DLL imports are enabled in Tools → Options → Expert Advisors
- Confirm AutoTrading button is green (enabled)
- Check that "Allow live trading" is checked in the EA properties
- Ensure your Myfxbook email and password are entered correctly
- Try restarting MT4 completely
Investor Password Not Working
- Double-check you are using the investor password, not the trading password
- Verify the account number is correct (no extra spaces)
- Make sure you selected the correct broker and server
- Some brokers restrict investor password access -- contact your broker if needed
Account Not Updating
- The Myfxbook EA must be running on an active chart -- do not close the chart
- Check your internet connection
- Verify the EA has not been deactivated (look for smiley face on chart)
- Ensure your firewall is not blocking the Myfxbook EA's outgoing connections
For persistent connection issues, I recommend reviewing the XAUUSD trading basics to ensure your account setup is correct, and checking your broker's compatibility with Myfxbook connections.
