When Myfxbook or FX Blue is the better choice

You want a public record others will trust. Myfxbook checks that the history it shows matches the broker's, and that you hold the account, which is what investors and EA buyers look for. IfStats' public track records are not verified.
You trade MT5, cTrader or another platform. IfStats works with MT4 only, for now.
You want several accounts at no cost. Both are free. IfStats is free for one account.

Where IfStats is different

Private, with no password. The EA only reads your account's trades and cannot trade. It sends them with a key that belongs to one account, and a key can be replaced at any time.
Every account together, with nothing to set up. An account joins the grid as soon as its EA sends, beside every other, with one set of totals and one equity curve. How it works
EAs named once, everywhere. Name an EA by its magic number and its trades carry the name on every account, and new ones arrive named. How it works
How far each trade went for and against you, as Pips+ and Pips-, measured while trades are open. What they tell you
Nothing deleted. Your plan decides how far back you see, never what is kept.

Use them together

Many traders will want both: Myfxbook or FX Blue for a public record, IfStats for the private side. They do not get in each other's way. Myfxbook's server updates need no EA at all, and two EAs simply run on two charts.
