The Automated MetaTrader 5 Trading Journal for Serious Traders
Turn your MT5 history into a professional equity curve. No manual entry.
MetaTrader 5 is a beast for execution, but its native "History" tab is just a ledger. It shows you what happened, but not why. Trying to analyze your performance by scrolling through thousands of rows of "deals" or exporting static HTML reports is a waste of your time.
TradeBB connects to your terminal data to build a live, interactive MT5 trading journal. We reconstruct your deals into complete trades, deduct every cent of Swap and Commission, and give you the stats you need to stop overtrading and start scaling.
Intelligent Data Parsing: From "Deals" to "Trades"
MT5 raw data can be messy. It often splits a single trade into multiple "In/Out" entries. We clean it up. TradeBB's engine maps your raw MT5 fields to standardized TradeBB fields, reconstructing the full story of every position.
How we translate MT5 data into edge:
| Raw MT5 Field | Smart Parsing (TradeBB) | The Trader Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Time (In) & Time2 (Out) | ENTRY_TIME + EXIT_TIME | We automatically pair your opening and closing times to calculate Duration. Stop guessing if you are holding losers longer than winners. |
| Commission + Swap | BROKER_COMMISSION + BROKER_SWAP | Forex and Gold traders know Swaps kill profits. We deduct both automatically so your PnL is 100% real (Net), not gross. |
| 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 early? |
| Symbol | ASSET_TYPE | We detect if the symbol is Forex, Crypto, or Indices. Filter your mt5 journal to see if you trade EURUSD better than US30. |
| Volume (Lots) | QUANTITY | We normalize lot sizes so you can track your sizing consistency across different asset classes. |
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 Dashboard to see the truth about your trading.
- Net PnL : Watch your equity grow (or dip) with Swaps and Commissions already deducted.
- Win Rate: Discover if you lose money during the Asian session but print money during NY Open.
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 MT5 Journal is Better Than Excel
Excel is static. It breaks when you have split positions or complex partial closes.
- Swap & Commission Logic: Manually calculating the cost of carry (Swap) for every forex trade in Excel is a nightmare. We do it instantly.
- Time Analysis: We automatically convert Server Time to your Local Time, so you know exactly when you traded relative to your morning routine.
- Discipline Tracking: Excel doesn't know where your Stop Loss was. We do.
MetaTrader 5 FAQ

How do you handle split closes (scaling out)
Do you track automated strategies?
Yes. Since we pull from the trade history, any trade executed by an algorithm is logged just like a manual trade. You can even tag them to compare your algo performance against your manual trading.

Yes. Whether you use API Sync or File Upload, your data is processed securely. We only require Read-Only access for syncs, meaning we cannot execute trades or move funds.
