Risk and expectations
What the MyFxBook archive proves, what it does not promise, and which protective mechanisms are built in.
This is the most important open chapter. Read it before buying: it answers "what to expect" more honestly than any sales copy.
What MyFxBook proves
Our public archive is real accounts verified by an independent platform: a trade history cannot be painted in afterwards. The archive proves the system trades profitably on real money, with real brokers, over a sustained period. It does not promise your account will replicate those curves one-to-one: you will have a different broker, different latencies, a different stretch of market.
Note the drawdowns in the archive — they are small by design, not by luck. The system does not sit through losses and does not use martingale: every trade closes quickly, and the size of a loss is capped by the strategy's construction.
What results depend on
- Broker and execution. Speed, slippage and spread decide how much of the edge reaches your account. This is the main variable of the whole method.
- Your involvement. This is not passive income out of the box: the machine trades, but the process — finding the right conditions, managing accounts, deciding about profit — stays with the owner.
- Deliberate configuration. Parameters changed at random are the most common way to break a working setup. Change only what you understand.
Protective mechanisms
The engine has built-in limits tuned to your account: trading stops when a set loss level is reached, profit is locked at a target, directions and volumes can be restricted. You set the values during the initial configuration — so you know in advance under which conditions the system stops itself.
