MetaTrader HTML Statement Export Guide
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.
Overview
MT4 and MT5
The same Trade Import option accepts supported HTML statements from MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.
Original report
Upload the exported HTML or HTM file without converting it to CSV or resaving it in a spreadsheet.
Trade rows only
Pending and cancelled orders are ignored automatically during parsing.
Broker comments
Supported statement comments are stored as read-only MT Comment metadata rather than added to your Notes.
What Journalit expects
Export the statement
Set MetaTrader to English
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.
Choose the history range
In the MetaTrader terminal, open Account History or History and select the date range you want to import.
Save a fresh report
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.
Import it into Journalit
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.
Before you import
English reports only
MT4 and MT5 HTML Trade Import currently supports reports exported in English. Reports in other languages are unsupported.
Check the date range
The statement only contains the history range selected in MetaTrader.
Keep the raw file
Editing or resaving the report can alter the HTML structure used by the importer.
Review ignored rows
Pending, cancelled, balance, and credit rows do not become normal Journalit trades.
Check the preview outcome
A partial preview identifies valid trades alongside skipped or failed rows. A failed preview cannot be imported.
Troubleshooting
