Metatrader offers the possibility to let others log in to your account to view your results but not place trades.

Assume I want to give someone 3 days access to my account and after that not anymore. How can I kick off that person from my account ?
You do not have the access to change the investor password,

therefore what i would advise you to do is to go to something like www.myfxbook.com or www.mt4live, register and publish your statement there for whatever period you would like and then take it offline.

Hope this helps.

Om myfxbook you can create a private link and change it after 3 days and the link will stop working.

That is incorrect -- You can change the investor PW.

If not by yourself, any broker will change the investor PW for you if you provide them with your login details.
True. On the Tools/Options - Server Tab you can change the Investor Password. Press the 'Change' button and you can select to change the MASTER or INVESTOR password.
Can people only see closed trades or also open trades ?

So they see real-time when I enter and exit the market or is there some delay ?
They can see everything you can see, they just have no way to access certain features of the platform.

actually, giving the investor password is the BEST thing for traders. There is no hiding anything. Better than myfxcrap and better than mt4live.

And you can always change ur investor password from MT4 if u wish.
Myfxbook is a nice alternative because of the graphics and stats. You can still show everything if you wish or Hide pending trades/history/open trades and gauge effectiveness by currency pair, month, etc. It gives you complete control over what to make private or public. Its the best way for a EA developer to share data plus it also offers investor access trade verification. (I show closed trades but hide open/pending trades while displays full stats)
Assume I have given somebody access to my account.

Then I decide to stop access for that person, I change the investor password to a new one.

Will the person who has access with the old password automatically be kicked off or will he stay logged in ?

On myfxbook they'll get kicked off if you recompute the access URL. I'd probably guess that with MT4 they'll still be logged in.
