MT5 setup and capture

Connect the reporter, understand terminal requirements, and diagnose missing journal data.

• Is importing MT5 history the same as recording trades live?

  Understand why completed trade records and captured chart context can have different coverage.

• Can I journal trades placed in the MT5 mobile app?

  Understand why mobile MT5 trades need a connected desktop terminal or VPS for automatic journal capture.

• Why does an automatic MT5 journal need the terminal running?

  Learn what stays active in the terminal-to-journal reporting model and how to distinguish capture from display.

• Is the MT5 Journal tab the same as a trading journal?

  Distinguish terminal diagnostic logs from a structured record used for trade review and performance analysis.

• What should I check when MT5 blocks the reporter's WebRequest?

  Diagnose the allowed URL, terminal environment and logs before changing unrelated MT5 permissions.

• Does the Chart Reporter EA need Algo Trading enabled?

  Separate the permissions for reporting MT5 activity from permission to execute automated trades.

• What happens to MT5 reporting when I rotate my API key?

  Plan a reporter-key rotation across all connected terminals without confusing it with MCP authorisation.

• Why is my MT5 terminal online but my journal looks empty?

  Use account, filter, access and trade-state checks to distinguish an empty view from a reporting failure.
