Trade Journal Auto

1. First Time Setup (Takes 30 Seconds):

1. Attach the EA: Drop the EA onto any single unused chart (a pair you don't actively trade on).
2. Click ⚙ Set Target:
   • The setup window will appear on your chart.
   • Pick Your Mode: Choose between Prop / Challenge Mode or Free / Compound Mode.
   • Set Account & Target: Enter your starting balance (e.g. 50000 ) and target percentage (e.g. 8 ).
   • Click Start.
3. Click 🔄 Scan All History & Update:
   • Instantly scans and imports your entire closed trade history, commissions, swaps, and partial closes matching official MT5 math.
4. Click 💾 Save:
   • Immediately compiles and updates your HTML report.

2. How Background Tracking & Screenshots Work:

• You DO NOT need to attach the EA to every pair!
• Keep it running on just ONE single unused chart in the background.
• While you trade normally across any instruments (Crypto, Gold, FX, Indices):
  • When you open an order or place a pending setup, it auto-captures the Entry / Setup screenshot.
  • When you take a Partial TP, it logs the closed lot percentage and takes a screenshot.
  • When the trade closes (TP, SL, or Manual), it captures the Exit screenshot.
  • All captured trades and images are cataloged automatically. Open trades are excluded until closed.

3. How to View Your Journal:

• In MT5's top menu, click: File -> Open Data Folder .
• In the window that opens, go to: MQL5 -> Files -> TradeJournal and double-click index.html .
• Your complete trade journal with charts, statistics, and calendar will open in your browser.
