Forex Fundamentals vs Myfxbook
Myfxbook is built around how you traded: verified track records, account analytics and the crowd's positioning. Forex Fundamentals is built around which way to lean before the trade. One looks back at performance, the other looks forward at bias.
The one difference that matters
Myfxbook tracks and verifies performance
Connect your MT4/MT5 account read-only and get a detailed journal, verified track records, deep analytics and AutoTrade copy trading. Its Community Outlook shows how the retail crowd is positioned long or short. It is excellent for proving and analysing results, but it does not tell you which way a currency should lean on the fundamentals.
Forex Fundamentals tells you the lean first
We start before the trade: a daily fundamental bias for every major currency, built from the economic calendar, COT institutional positioning, rate expectations and risk sentiment, each explained in plain language. Where Myfxbook shows you the retail crowd, we show you where the institutions and the macro data actually point.
Side by side
Where each platform is strong. One is a performance journal and social network; the other is a forward-looking bias engine.

Which one is right for you
Stick with Myfxbook alone if
- • Your main need is journaling, verifying and analysing your own results.
- • You want to follow or copy verified systems via AutoTrade.
- • Retail crowd positioning is the only sentiment input you want.
Add Forex Fundamentals if
- • You want a forward-looking bias, not just a record of what already happened.
- • You want institutional COT positioning rather than only the retail crowd.
- • You want the calendar and drivers explained, not just listed.
Common questions
Is Forex Fundamentals a replacement for Myfxbook?+
No. Myfxbook is a journal and analytics platform for tracking and verifying trading performance. Forex Fundamentals is a fundamental bias engine for deciding which way to lean before the trade. They sit on opposite sides of the trade: one before, one after.
How is your positioning data different from Myfxbook Community Outlook?+
Community Outlook shows how the retail crowd is positioned, which traders often read as a contrarian signal. We read the COT report, which is the positioning of large institutions and commercials, and we flag where it points to a possible reversal. They are two different crowds, and we explain what ours implies.
Do you have a trading journal?+
No. Journaling and verified track records are what Myfxbook does best, and we do not try to copy it. We focus on the fundamental data layer that informs the trade before you take it.
