QUESTION

What does "verified" mean on Myfxbook?

SHORT ANSWER

It means Myfxbook connected to the account and computed the statistics from its real trade history rather than the owner typing numbers in. There are two separate badges — verified track record and verified trading privileges — and you want both.

The connection is made through the investor password or a broker API, both of which are read-only. Because the figures are derived rather than declared, they are considerably harder to dress up than a self-published image.

The two badges mean different things. [Verified track record](/learn/myfxbook-verified-results) means the trade history was read from the broker. Verified trading privileges additionally confirms whether the account can actually trade — which is how you distinguish a real trading account from one that merely exists.

Neither badge certifies that the account holds real money, that it is the only account the vendor operates, that it will remain profitable, or that the settings shown are the settings you will be given. Those are all separate questions and all of them survive verification intact.
