Trade history MT4

The indicator plots charts of profit taken at the Close of candles for closed (or partially closed) long and short orders individually. The indicator allows to filter orders by the current symbol, specified expert ID (magic number) and the presence (absence) of a substring in a order comment, to set the start time and the periodicity of profit reset (daily, weekly or monthly) to calculate the profit chart. The indicator also displays the floating (not fixed) profit of the opened orders at the candle closure (only from the moment of initializing indicator).

The indicator works with any timeframes and instruments. It can be useful for analysis of efficiency of multiple experts trading on different symbols and directions on one account from a certain point of time.

The available history of orders fixing a profit is used to plot charts of the fixed profit. To allow the indicator to display the full trading history, it is necessary to select the "All History" option in the context menu of the "Account History" tab before starting the indicator.

Additional features of new versions of the indicator are described in the What's New tab.

Indicator operation in the strategy tester

You can test the operation of the indicator for free in the tester of the MetaTrader 5 terminal by downloading a demo version of the indicator. In testing mode, the indicator always displays the trading history of the real or demo account from the "Account History" tab of the "Terminal" window, and not the history of trading during the test from the "Results" tab of the "Tester" window (see the last screenshot for this description).
