The Automated MetaTrader 4 Trading Journal for Serious Traders
Turn your MT4 history into a professional equity curve. No manual entry.
MetaTrader 4 (MT4) has been the standard for execution for over 15 years, but its native reporting tools are stuck in the past. The "Account History" tab is just a ledger. It shows you raw numbers, but it doesn't show you performance.
TradeBB connects to your terminal data to build a live, interactive MT4 trading journal. We take those raw lines of data, deduct every cent of Swap and Commission to find your true Net PnL, and give you the stats you need to improve your edge.
Intelligent Data Parsing: From Raw Data to "Net PnL"
MT4's native Profit column can be misleading because it often represents Gross Profit before costs. We fix that. TradeBB's engine maps your raw MT4 fields to standardized TradeBB fields, ensuring you know exactly how much you are actually keeping.
How we translate MT4 data into clarity:
| Raw MT4 Field | Smart Parsing (TradeBB) | The Trader Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Profit | GROSS_PL -> Net PnL | MT4 shows "Profit". We calculate Gross PL - Commission - Swap to give you the True Net PnL. Stop overestimating your winnings. |
| Type | SIDE (Long/Short) | We parse "Buy/Sell" into a clear directional tag. Filter your mt4 journal log to see if you have a higher win rate on Longs vs. Shorts. |
| S/L & T/P | STOP_LOSS + TAKE_PROFIT | We parse your initial bracket orders. This lets you analyze Discipline: Did you stick to your plan, or did you manually close before the target? |
| Commission + Swap | BROKER_COMMISSION + BROKER_SWAP | Holding positions overnight incurs costs. We track these explicitly so you can see if negative Swaps are eating your edge. |
| Volume | QUANTITY | We normalize lot sizes so you can track your sizing consistency across different instruments. |
Visualize Your Edge (What You See After Import)
Once your history is imported, TradeBB transforms the raw rows into professional analytics.
1. The Dashboard: Your Performance Hub
Go to your View MT4 Performance Dashboard to see the truth about your trading.
- Net PnL Curve: Watch your equity grow (or dip) with Swaps and Commissions already deducted.
- Win Rate by Hour: Discover if you lose money during specific sessions but profit in others.
- Expectancy: Know exactly how much money you make (on average) every time you enter a position.
2. The Trades Table: Drill Down
Go to Trades for a granular review of every position.
- Smart Columns: View Entry Price, Exit Price, and Net PnL side-by-side.
- Filter by Setup: Use tags to filter your "Breakout" trades vs. your "Reversal" trades to see which setup actually pays.
Why an MT4 Journal is Better Than Excel
MT4 HTML reports are messy and hard to merge. TradeBB creates a unified log from multiple MT4 Investor Passwords or statement files instantly.
- Swap & Commission Logic: Manually subtracting Swaps and Commissions for every trade in Excel is tedious. We do it instantly.
- EA Performance Tracking: Excel mixes everything together. TradeBB allows you to track performance by Magic Number to separate your EA results from manual trades, so you know exactly which bot is profitable.
- Time Analysis: We automatically convert Server Time to your Local Time, so you know exactly when you traded relative to your daily routine.
MetaTrader 4 FAQ
Can I import history from multiple accounts?
Does the journal account for overnight Swaps and Commissions accurately?
Absolutely. We do not simply rely on the "Profit" column which often shows gross PnL. Our engine explicitly calculates Net PnL by subtracting both Swap and Commission fields from your gross result. This provides a realistic view of your profitability, especially for swing trades held over multiple sessions.
Is my trading strategy and data secure?
Yes. Whether you use API Sync or File Upload, we adhere to strict security protocols. For auto-sync, we only require your Investor Password (Read-Only access). This ensures we can fetch trade history but strictly cannot execute trades, modify orders, or access your funds.
