How to import your MT4, MT5 or cTrader trade history

Importing a statement is the quickest way to fill your journal with past trades. It works on every plan, with MetaTrader 4 and 5 HTML reports, cTrader history and CSV files from any platform. Importing the same file twice never duplicates trades, so you can re-import an updated statement any time.

Step 1: Export your history

1. 1
   MetaTrader 5

   Open the Toolbox (Ctrl+T), go to the History tab, right click inside it and choose Report, then HTML. Pick the period you want, for example All History, and save the file.

2. 2
   MetaTrader 4

   Open the Terminal (Ctrl+T), go to Account History, right click, choose All History, then right click again and choose Save as Detailed Report.

3. 3
   cTrader

   Open History, click Export and choose CSV.

4. 4
   Any other platform

   Export your closed trades as a CSV file with column headers, for example from TradeLocker, Match-Trader or DXtrade.

Step 2: Import it into Alchemyfolio

5. 5
   Open the account

   Go to Accounts. If you have not added the account yet, click Connect account, choose Import a statement and name the account. Otherwise click Import on the account card.

6. 6
   Drop the file

   Drag your statement into the box, or click it to choose the file.

7. 7
   Set the broker server time

   MetaTrader statements use your broker's server time, not yours. Most brokers use UTC+2 in winter and UTC+3 in summer. Pick the one your broker uses so trade times and sessions are correct.

8. 8
   Click Import

   Your trades appear in your journal, dashboard and reports straight away.
