What a verified record proves, and what a review does not
A verified signal, a five-star rating and a large download count are three different things, and only one of them is about trading. They get read as if they were interchangeable.
What "verified" means
When a product publishes a live signal on MQL5, the platform reads the trades from the broker's own feed rather than taking the seller's word for them. The seller cannot edit the history, cannot remove a bad week, and cannot start again on a fresh account while keeping the old track record.
That is a real and fairly strong guarantee about the trades themselves. It is not a guarantee about the product: a signal can be verified, genuine and still describe a strategy that takes risks you would not take. Verification settles whether the trades happened, not whether they were wise.
Why we will not link a Myfxbook page we cannot confirm
Myfxbook serves the same purpose as an MQL5 signal and does it well. The difficulty is matching an account to a product: a Myfxbook page carrying a product's name is not proof that it is that product's account, and anyone can name an account anything.
So where a product is not tracked on Myfxbook, the honest answer is that it is not, rather than pointing at a page that merely shares its name. Where it publishes an MQL5 signal, that signal is the verified record and the product page links it directly.
Reviews rate the purchase, not the trading
A marketplace rating is written by somebody who bought the product, usually soon after buying it. What they are in a position to judge at that point is the seller: whether the documentation was clear, whether support answered, whether it installed and ran.
Those are worth knowing and they are not performance. A rating cannot tell you what the drawdown was, because the person writing it mostly has not been through one yet. The measured figures on a product page are for that question, and a rating is for a different one.
This site counts reviews and publishes the tally rather than reprinting them — they are other people's words about someone else's product, and the count is the part that carries information.
Download counts are marketplace volume
A large download number means a listing sold well, or that its free demo was popular. It says nothing about results. A seller can move a great many copies of something that loses money, and a genuinely good tool released last month has almost none.
It is the clearest example of a figure that looks like evidence and is not, which is why product pages here print it as a fact about the listing and never as a measure of the trading.
