Safety and Disclosure

I have a couple of questions and your response is appreciated.

1. It is a bad idea to share live account trading history (statements, charts, etc) in public?

2. How safe is MT4 password? Anyone's account ever been hacked?

If you want to share them for fun then it's probably a bad idea. If you need to share them for some reason, then the risks are negligible.

That depends on your broker and its security policy. And, if you can choose your password, on you too.

It's ok to share charts (maybe block out your account number and/or ticket numbers), but sharing statements is a) a bit pointless as they can be manipulated so easily, and b) unscrupulous people could copy them and pass them off as their own (assuming you're profitable of course!)

I think it was IBFX who had some customer data compromised just recently but as far as I remember that was an internal issue. Can't say I've ever heard of anyone's account being hacked but I'm sure it's possible, they hack into every other damn thing!
