WEEK TWO
Manual journals die quietly
Logging entries, exits, partials and commissions by hand after every session is the chore everyone abandons. The spreadsheet doesn't fail loudly — it just stops getting opened.
MT5 Trading Journal · Zero Manual Entry
Your journal writes itself.
Chart Reporter captures every MT5 trade at the terminal — entries, exits, partials, commissions, the lot — and turns them into a dashboard you’ll actually open. No manual entry. No broker credentials. Nothing to remember after the close.
Free tier forever · 2-minute setup · Your broker never knows we exist

The Problem
Every trader knows they should journal.
Almost nobody keeps it up.
THE FOLDER
Screenshots without context
A folder of chart captures can't tell you what your stop was, how price moved after you exited, or whether that setup keeps paying. Evidence without analysis isn't a journal.
FLYING BLIND
No record, no review
Without a clean record you're trading on feel and memory — and memory is the least reliable instrument on your desk.
It’s not a discipline problem. It’s a tooling problem — journaling shouldn’t be a second job after the close.
The Plan
Terminal to dashboard in three steps
- 01
Attach the EA
Drop the Chart Reporter Expert Advisor onto a chart in your MT5 terminal. Two minutes. No broker credentials, no investor passwords — data is pushed from your terminal, never pulled from your broker.
- 02
Trade as you always do
Every trade is captured at the source as it happens — entries, exits, partial closes, scale-outs, commissions, swap, stop and target levels, even the surrounding price action.
- 03
Open a finished journal
Your dashboard is already written: session analytics, strategy breakdowns, risk metrics and a candle-by-candle replay of every trade. Review when you want — it's all there.
New · Trade Replay
Don’t just log the trade. Replay it.
Your EA ships the broker’s own candles alongside every trade — before the entry, during the hold, and after the exit. Chart Reporter rebuilds the whole scene: risk zones shaded the way you drew them, R-multiple gridlines from your actual initial stop, entry and exit marked on the tape.
Try it — drag the scrubber. This is the same renderer the app uses.
Replay Your Own TradesTrade Replay — EURUSD Long
Illustrative sample dataReplay35/35
Drag to replay — every closed trade gets this view, built from broker candles your EA ships automatically.
The Instrument Panel
Statistics that explain themselves
Every derived metric shows its formula and its sample size. No black boxes, no vanity numbers — just an honest readout of how you trade.
EDGE SCORE
One number, no black box
A composite score built from profit factor, win rate, drawdown, recovery and consistency — with the full formula shown on the widget.
TRADE REPLAY
Candle-by-candle playback
Replay any closed trade with risk zones, R-multiple gridlines and the price action before, during and after — built from your broker's own candles.
DISCIPLINE
Revenge-trade detection
Flags rapid re-entries after losses and scores behavioural consistency, so the patterns you'd rather not see don't stay invisible.
DRAWDOWN
Recovery, quantified
Current and maximum drawdown, days to recover, and recovery factor — the numbers that describe how your account actually breathes.
RATIOS
SQN, Sharpe, Sortino
The classic system-quality numbers with quality bands and sample-size guards, so a hot week never masquerades as a system.
SESSIONS
London, New York, Tokyo
Performance split by session and timezone-aligned to your broker's clock, down to the tick.

Questions Traders Ask
Automatic journaling without handing over the keys
Chart Reporter is built around a simple boundary: your terminal can report your trades without giving anyone authority over your broker account.
Does Chart Reporter need my broker credentials?
No. Chart Reporter uses a lightweight MT5 Expert Advisor that pushes journal data from your terminal to your dashboard. You never share broker credentials, investor passwords, or broker API keys.
How MT5 trade sync works →How does MT5 trade sync work?
The EA runs inside your MetaTrader 5 terminal and records the trade facts your terminal already knows: entries, exits, partial closes, commissions, swap, stops, targets, and strategy context.
Read the sync guide →How do I install the Chart Reporter EA?
Create your account, download the EA, add it to MT5, attach it to a chart, and allow it to send journal data to Chart Reporter. The setup is designed to take a few minutes.
Install the EA →Does Chart Reporter work with any MT5 broker?
Chart Reporter works at the terminal level rather than through broker-specific integrations, so it is designed for MT5 accounts without needing a separate broker API connection.
Why no broker API is needed →Can I use it for algo or magic-number strategies?
Yes. Chart Reporter records MT5 magic numbers so automated strategies can be grouped, named, and reviewed without manually tagging every trade.
See strategy analytics →What is included in the free plan?
The free Trader plan includes automated MT5 trade capture, a rolling history window, the core dashboard, and no credit card requirement.
View pricing →Your next trade can be the first one on record.
Two minutes to attach the EA. Free forever on the Trader tier. The journal starts writing itself from your very next close.
