Journalit imports MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 history from the original HTML or HTM statement. Trade Import currently supports reports exported in English only. Set MetaTrader to English before exporting, then upload the original file without converting or editing it. JDR Securities MetaTrader statements use this same import path.
English reports only
Both MT4 and MT5 reports must be exported in English. Use the original HTML
statement from Account History or History, then
select MetaTrader 4 / 5 Statement in Trade Import.
The same Trade Import option accepts supported HTML statements from MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.
Upload the exported HTML or HTM file without converting it to CSV or resaving it in a spreadsheet.
Pending and cancelled orders are ignored automatically during parsing.
Supported statement comments are stored as read-only MT Comment metadata rather than added to your Notes.
Set MetaTrader's language to English. Restart MetaTrader if it prompts you to apply the language change. Export a fresh statement only after MetaTrader has restarted in English.
In the MetaTrader terminal, open Account History or History and select the date range you want to import.
Right-click inside the history table and choose Save as Report. Save the newly generated HTML or HTM statement. Do not use a report exported before changing MetaTrader's language.
Open Trade Import, choose the destination account, select MetaTrader 4 / 5 Statement, and upload the exported report. Review the parsed trades before confirming the import.
MT4 and MT5 HTML Trade Import currently supports reports exported in English. Reports in other languages are unsupported.
The statement only contains the history range selected in MetaTrader.
Editing or resaving the report can alter the HTML structure used by the importer.
Pending, cancelled, balance, and credit rows do not become normal Journalit trades.
A partial preview identifies valid trades alongside skipped or failed rows. A failed preview cannot be imported.
Continue to the Trade Import guide for preview outcomes, duplicate handling, and confirmation.
See how file imports fit into Journalit's broader trade-history workflow.
MT4 users can use FTP-based Trade Sync for ongoing synchronisation. MT5 users should continue with Trade Import.
See what MetaTrader support includes: MT4 sync, MT5 statement import, and the honest limitations.
