Verified accounts
"Verified" means that MT4i has collected the account data directly from the broker, using our account sync, or comes from a similarly trusted source.
Semi-verified accounts
Semi-verified accounts are uploaded using our publisher EAs for MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5, or equivalent software for other platforms such as FXCM Trading Station II.
This software includes anti-tamper controls, and results are almost certainly genuine. However, it is theoretically possible for users to manipulate the data which is sent to MT4i.
There are good reasons why people use semi-verified EA publication rather than fully-verified account sync. Our publisher EAs are faster, more private, and more flexible than account sync, and work on more trading platforms.
Unverified accounts
All other accounts are unverified. They are either reports which have been uploaded from MetaTrader 4 using FTP, or they are backtesting reports. It is impossible to verify whether the results have been manipulated, or whether they are from a demo account or a real one.
