How to Import MetaTrader 4/5 Trades into a Trading Journal
For forex traders — bring your MT4 or MT5 history across
To import your MetaTrader trades into a trading journal, save the HTML statement from MT4 or MT5 and upload it to Fenix. From the Account History tab you right-click and choose Save as Report, then upload that file — Fenix reads the statement into round-trip trades with real P&L, flags duplicates, and saves them, with nothing typed by hand. It works the same for MT4 and MT5, takes about two minutes, and re-imports are de-duplicated so you can update later safely.
Step 1 — Save the HTML statement from MetaTrader
- Open MetaTrader 4 or 5 on desktop.
- Go to the Terminal panel and open the Account History tab.
- Right-click anywhere in the history and (optionally) set the period to All History or a custom range.
- Choose Save as Report — or Save as Detailed Report — to export an HTML statement.
Wording differs slightly between MT4 and MT5 and across brokers' builds, but the option you want produces an HTML file of your closed trades.
Step 2 — Upload it to Fenix
Open Import in Fenix and select the MetaTrader HTML statement. Fenix accepts the MetaTrader file directly alongside CSV and Excel.
Step 3 — Preview and save
Fenix reads the statement into complete round-trip trades with real P&L (in pips and your account currency), flags possible duplicates, and shows you a preview. Save, and your trades feed your R-multiples, analytics and equity curve — in Forex mode, with pips and standard lots.
- MetaTrader → Account History → right-click → Save as Report (HTML).
- Fenix → Import → upload → preview → save.
- Works for MT4 and MT5; re-imports are de-duplicated.
