Sharing your results: widgets, portfolios, privacy controls and the anti-copy delay

What you are sharing, and what you are not

A public ConfirmedTrades account page is a verified record, not a live feed of your positions. The controls below let you decide how much of the detail is visible, while the verified totals and headline stats stay public. That split is what makes a link to your page worth more than a screenshot: a visitor can trust the numbers precisely because you cannot edit them, and you can still keep your entries private.

Public, and two ways to share

Every account and every portfolio has a Public switch and two share doors. Public lists the page in Rankings, Explore and search, and anyone can open it. Share by Link gives you a link with a short code on the end: anyone holding it opens the page without signing in, and sees the Link view. Share by Invitation opens the page to the members you name by User ID, once they sign in, with the Invitation view. The two share doors are independent of Public and of each other, and each view has its own settings — which sections show, the reveal delay, the trade columns — so a prospect you sent a link to can see more than the public does. Whichever door someone comes through, the trade records and the full breakdown need a free account; the headline stats and growth chart are open to everyone. Neither door lists the page anywhere, and search engines never index it. Publishing still cascades: your user profile, the account and any portfolio containing it each have their own Public switch, and the page warns you when a parent setting is limiting a child.

Your links are built on a permanent ID, so renaming the account, your handle or the slug never breaks a URL you have already shared.

Hide, reorder, and the Account stats exception

From the owner bar on your account page you can hide individual analytics sections and drag them into the order you want visitors to read. Hidden sections are simply not rendered for visitors, though you still see them.

Account stats at the top is exempt from hiding. It always shows the core performance and risk figures, the money-and-scale column in real currency, the growth chart and the month calendar. That exemption is deliberate: a record that could hide its drawdown would not be a verified record. If you want a preview of exactly what a visitor gets, use the What Public Sees view.

Open positions: none, minimal or full

Open positions are the most copy-sensitive data you have. You choose one of three modes: hidden entirely, symbol and direction only, or full detail with entry price and size. Symbol-and-direction is a good middle ground for a signal seller; it shows visitors that the account is active without handing over an entry.

The reveal delay on closed trades

Even closed trades can be copied if they are shown fast enough, because a strategy that holds for hours leaks its next entry through its last exit. The reveal delay withholds individual closed trades from visitors for 1, 6, 12 or 24 hours after they close. The delay runs on the platform's clock from when the trade was received, not on the broker's timestamp, so it cannot be gamed by terminal time settings.

Totals are never delayed. Your gain, drawdown, Score and calendar update as soon as the trade syncs; only the trade-level rows wait. Visitors see a note that recent trades are delayed, which is itself a signal that the account is traded live.

Choosing trade-table columns

Every public record shows its closed trades with eight core columns that cannot be hidden: open and close time, symbol, direction, lot, open and close price, and profit. You pick which of the rest also show — commission and swap help cost-conscious readers; magic number and comment let viewers tell your EAs apart and confirm a trading-privileges check; stops and targets are the ones a signal seller usually keeps back. You also choose how many rows the table lists per page, which never limits how far back a reader can page. The table itself cannot be switched off: the reveal delay is how you hold fresh trades back.

Widgets: your record on your own site

A widget is a small live card of your account or portfolio that you embed on your website, store page or forum signature. It shows live data from your verified page, and a visitor can click through to the full profile to check the verification, account type and drawdown. The number of widgets depends on your tier, and the Founder tier can remove the ConfirmedTrades branding.

Widgets link back to the page rather than reproducing all of it, so the privacy settings above apply to what a visitor sees after clicking. Link your profile from your MQL5 listing for the same reason: buyers get the full verified page rather than an image.

Portfolios: several accounts, one page

A portfolio rolls several of your accounts into one public page with combined growth, a monthly switcher, per-member sparklines and its own widget and share URL. It is useful when you run the same Expert Advisor on several brokers, or want to present a strategy family as one thing. A portfolio has its own Public switch, its own Share by Link and Share by Invitation doors with views of their own, and its own custom theme for the showcase page. Its trade table always shows the core columns for every member, and an optional column only when every member account shows it, so a portfolio can never reveal more than its accounts do.

Custom Analysis for visitors

When enabled, the Custom Analysis button lets a visitor filter your trades by date, symbol, magic number, lot size, weekday and hour, and see every metric recomputed for that subset. It costs you nothing and it is the strongest trust signal you can offer, because a serious buyer will use it to check that your results survive without the best month and the best symbol. If you are confident in the record, turn it on.
