Those of you who use custom analysis frequently use much of your time configuring the search parameters. We’ve added a new feature to overcome this issue and allow you to quickly anlayse your data using saved search profiles:

The search profiles can be used to quickly access sets of search criteria. The search profile saves all search settings (except the start/end dates) which can be loaded with a click of a button!

Let us know of any feedback you have and any other suggestions or comments!

On the same note, we have a lot of new and exciting features in development waiting to be released during the following weeks, so stay tuned!

Also, FXCM Publisher users should do an update to their order2go api (an update of FXCM) by going to Start>Program Files>FX Order2Go>Update to keep their accounts updating.

Wish you a ton of pips this week! 🙂

The Myfxbook Team.

We’ve added 2 new reviews sections: VPS Services and EA Programming services reviews:

So go right ahead and add your review if you’ve used any of the services. If you’ve used a service which is not listed, do let us know so we can add it to the list!

Also, the contest is already 11 days in and here are some interesting statistics:

Only 329(23%) of the accounts are profitable, 628(44%) aren’t profitable and 477 (33%) haven’t traded yet or haven’t closed a trade.

Let’s see a scatter chart of accounts’ balances:

The top 2 competitors are very close to each other and far away from the rest – there are still over 19 days left for trading, so at this point the prizes are still up for grabs for everyone.

Trade well!

The Myfxbook team.

Getting through all of your trades and finding those specific trades you wish to analyze is sometimes a difficult task. To make it easier for you, we’ve redesigned and upgraded the custom analysis:

We’ve added 10 new search criteria:

Timing of the trade – Day of Week and Hour of Day

Trade gain, profit, duration, take profit, stop loss, lots, type and comment

Also, a quick update about our latest contest – there are 1,436 traders competing from 108 countries!

Have a great trading week!

The Myfxbook team.

We’re happy to introduce another unique feature to Myfxbook – trade tagging! Those who use EA’s should be already familiar with the magic analysis capability, which lets you analyze your trades based on the magic number associated to each trade. Unfortunately, manual traders and those who don’t use magic numbers didn’t had such an option, until now.

You can now tag any trade, order, or a history record with an unlimited number of tags:

Then analyze your account by tags (custom analysis button):

And receive a clear picture:

This is a very useful tool, which takes the analysis capability a step further; you can tag trades based on your emotion, your comfort level, system, or any other criteria which comes to mind – the options are unlimited!

If you have any suggestions or comments on this new feature (We’re sure you do! :)), then please let us know by sending a message.

Another change is the strategies section; as mentioned a month ago regarding the strategies change here , we’re making another important change – the yields shown in the strategies section are now of the forward test. Connecting a forward test is a must to make your strategy public.

We’re thrilled to announce the opening of the registration to our 4th contest!

Prizes have gone up and are in total of $5,000!

Trade a demo account with zero risk. The traders with the highest balance at the end of the contest, after liquidation, will win a funded FXCM account as follows:

1st Place – a $3,000 funded FXCM account.

2nd Place – a $2,000 funded FXCM account.

A quick note – registration to the contest has never been easier before – you do not need to setup the connection between Metatrader and Myfxbook – we do it independently on our side 🙂 Simply register and start trading as soon as the contest begins.

Good luck!

The Myfxbook team.

We’ve had the time (finally!) to make improvements to the Myfxbook EA setup process – we’ve created an automated installer, which helps you to setup it in a few minutes.

Moreover, the only input the EA needs now is your Myfxbook login and password. The EA will keep working even if you switch accounts (publishing  a new account with the EA will add the account to your Myfxbook portfolio automatically!)

Another important improvement is for the Myfxbook FXCM  publisher users – you can now have multiple accounts set up to be published.

We’ve also added an important functionality – when you block a user, the user won’t be able to make any posts in your topic.

And one last feature is the option to search systems by the broker used:

As a side note, we’re working hard on some new and very cool features which should be ready very soon! 🙂

Have a prosperous trading week!

The Myfxbook team.

Just a quick update – Myfxbook is now available in its 12th language – Latvian 🙂

Thank you for your contribution guys!

As a side note, we’re working on some very exciting and innovative features to be released in the next following weeks – stay tuned!

Have a great week!

The Myfxbook team.

When we’ve released the Strategies section, it was meant to act as a collaboration tool for developers to share their strategy tests, tweaks and versions and help them in their development. Unfortunately, many users have abused the fact that Strategies are simple html files, and in effect, can be manipulated easily.

In order to prevent such use, we’ve decided to make a major change in how Strategies are shared publicly – from now on, in order to make your strategy public, you will be required to do at least one of the following:

1. Attach the expert file of the strategy, the source (mql4) or the compiled file (ex4) and any other related files.

2. Link a forward test of the strategy (by selecting a public and fully verified system from your portfolio).

Only a strategy which maintains one of the above requirements can remain public.

The above will help in screening the real strategies. If you have any suggestions on improving the section even more, do let us know!

Also, we’ve added another feature – the magic selection was redesigned and you can also choose which magics to show/hide in analysis:

What else have we added?

– The user page now includes the strategies of the user.

– API updated; added comment to open trades and orders methods (check the version changes at the bottom of the page).

Wish you a successful trading week!

The Myfxbook team.

Just a quick message  – 2 more languages were added today: Japanese and Chinese (simplified).

Again, thank you for your help with the translations! 🙂

If you still don’t see your language in the options, feel free to go to the translations area and start translating away  🙂 .

Happy Trading,

The Myfxbook team.
