Verified Live Track

Live track record and verified live track are related but distinct quality classifications in EA evaluation. A live track record requires public account history; a verified live track requires that the account history was continuously linked to a third-party verification platform (MyFXBook, MQL5 Signals, FX Blue) for the entirety of the published period.

The distinction matters because vendor behaviour can produce mixed verification states. Common patterns where verification is interrupted:

• **Account regeneration**: vendor resets the account or opens a new one mid-track, breaking the historical continuity • **Verification toggling**: vendor disables MyFXBook briefly to hand-trade or override the EA during a stress period, then re-enables verification with the hand-trading included in the historical record • **Broker migration**: vendor moves the EA to a different broker mid-track, requiring new account-credential setup that may or may not be re-verified • **EA version upgrades**: vendor pushes a major version change but presents the entire history (pre + post-version) as if it represents the current version's performance

A verified live track explicitly excludes these mixed-period cases. The verification cryptographically attests that the published trades occurred via the platform's investor-password import throughout the entire window — no unverified additions, no manual edits, no broker changes that broke continuity. This is the strongest available evidence short of broker-side audit.

For editorial evaluation purposes, the verified live track bar applies to top-tier picks. Standard tier evaluation accepts the broader live track record category, including reasonable explanations for gaps. Premium tier picks (e.g. our editorial top-3 in any category) require verified live track quality with documented vendor accountability for any gap that does exist.

The 2026 EA market has progressed toward verified live tracks as the default for serious vendors. Vendors maintaining 12+ months of continuously verified history through platforms like MyFXBook signal strong operational discipline; those whose records show frequent verification breaks face increasing buyer scrutiny regardless of the headline metrics.
