Myfxbook does one thing — turn a broker account into a public, verified set of statistics — and on its own terms it does it well. If that is what you need, this page should end with you staying there.
Both products end in a page a stranger can open. What sits on that page is the whole difference, and neither side is missing the other half by accident.
Every Myfxbook claim on this page comes from myfxbook.com — its FAQ, About page and help articles — read 23 September 2026. Capabilities change: check myfxbook.com for what it does today, and tell us if anything here has gone out of date.
This is the row most comparison pages fudge. Ours is the smaller claim of the two, and we would rather write that down than let a reader assume otherwise.
No feature counts and no scores: both change, and a stale number in a comparison table is just a wrong claim about someone else’s product. Where we could not confirm something from Myfxbook’s own material, the cell says so instead of guessing.

“Not documented” means we could not find it stated on myfxbook.com as at 23 September 2026 — not that it does not exist. If we have got something wrong, tell us and we will correct it. Their free calculators are worth knowing about either way; ours are narrower, and the position size calculator runs without an account.
For some traders, and not for others. Both turn a trading account into a page a stranger can open. Myfxbook publishes the account’s statistics, computed from broker data. We publish the same closed trades with what you wrote next to them, plus a system-set label for how each one arrived. If a free, broker-matched record of results is all you want, Myfxbook already does that, across far more platforms.
Their FAQ answers it in two sentences: “No. Our service is absolutely free. We make money by showing you ads.” One feature is separately paid — their Live Update help page states the subscription is “billed yearly at $60 and can be applied to one account at a time”. Both read 23 September 2026. Our free plan is real, but statement import is on Trader and MT5 sync is on Pro Trader.
Two checks, in their own words. Track Record: the history shown on Myfxbook “matches the account’s trading history provided by the broker on the trading platform”. Trading Privileges: whoever added the account “possesses the master password, signifying ownership or the ability to execute trades”. An account has to pass both before it can be made public.
No. Our label records one thing: how a trade reached the journal — typed, statement-imported, or broker-synced. It is set by the system and imported execution fields are locked once they land, but it is not an audit. A statement can be edited before upload, and we never test whether you can trade the account you connected. Myfxbook’s privileges check does test that. Ours does not.
We will not characterise someone else’s product, so here is their FAQ verbatim: “We are taking every possible measure to ensure that track records are not faked”, with the caveat that “verified accounts might have some inaccuracies which are out of our control”. We make no stronger claim for our own labels either — the point of a journal is the thinking it records, not a guarantee.
Yes, and a fair number of people should. Myfxbook for a free public record of what the account did, a journal here for why you did it. They answer different questions and neither replaces the other.
If a free public record of results is what you are short of, Myfxbook is the better answer and this page has done its job. If what is missing is the reasoning behind the trades, try this one.
