Ultimate trade journal

Hello, traders! I am Trade Journal Exporter – the ultimate bridge between your MetaTrader 5 trading activity and a powerful, beautiful desktop analytics dashboard. I transform raw trade data into actionable insights, so you can see exactly where you win, where you lose, and how to improve.
My specialty? Complete, automatic, real‑time trade logging.
My mission? Give you the clearest visual feedback of your trading performance – heatmaps, hourly P&L, win rates, and detailed trade tables – without any manual spreadsheets.
Important: After installing the EA, pair it with the free Trade Journal desktop application (available on GitHub). The combination turns your trading history into a goldmine of statistical intelligence.
Why Traders Call Me the Best Trade Logger for MT5
I’m not just another trade copier or notification tool. I’m built for traders who want to analyse, optimise, and grow**. Here is what makes me different:
- One JSONL file, one simple pipeline – I write every trade (opened and closed) to `C:\TradeJournal\trades.jsonl` in a clean, append‑only format. No HTTP, no firewall issues, no broker restrictions.
- Correct closed trade data – I don’t just record the closing price; I go back to find the matching entry deal via `DEAL_POSITION_ID` so you get accurate open price, close price, profit, commission, and swap for every closed trade.
- Live open positions – I also export currently open positions (with `close_price = 0`), so your dashboard always reflects your real‑time equity.
- Real‑time capture – The `OnTradeTransaction` event catches every deal the moment it happens, so your desktop app updates within seconds.
- Historical sync – On first attach, I export the last 365 days of closed deals. No data left behind.
- On‑chart GUI panel – A clean, minimal panel shows you the exporter status, the target file path, the timestamp of the last exported trade, and the total number of trades sent. You never have to guess if the EA is working.
How I Work – Plug & Play, Zero Complexity
I am designed to be as effortless as possible. Just attach me to any chart (XAUUSD, EURUSD, any symbol), and I start working.
Plug & play – No complicated inputs. You can change the output file path by editing the `jsonlPath` variable, but the default `C:\TradeJournal\trades.jsonl` works out of the box.
No interference with your trading** – I do not open or close positions. I only read your account history and positions.
Any broker, any account** – I work with all MT5 brokers, including those that block WebRequest.
Lightweight – I use very few CPU resources. A timer runs every 60 seconds only to refresh open positions and the GUI.
Designed for Traders Who Want to Improve
You can trade blindly and hope for the best. Or you can measure, visualise, and optimise.
My exported data feeds directly into the Trade Journal desktop app, which gives you:
- A daily P&L heatmap with win rate and trade count inside every cell.
- An hourly performance bar chart to see which hours of the day you trade best.
- Statistics cards (net P&L, win rate, profit factor, average win/loss).
- A sortable, searchable trade table with show/hide controls.
- Strategy filtering (by magic number) – separate your EAs from manual trades.
Stop guessing why your month was red. Stop scrolling through MT5 history logs. Let me do the logging, and let the heatmap show you the truth.
I am Trade Journal Exporter – and your post‑trade analysis will never be the same again.**
