How does the MT5 connection work?

You provide your MT5 account number, server, and read-only investor password (not the trading password). Profit AI reads your trade history and keeps it updated automatically. No execution access.

Does it support MT4 too?

MT4 is supported through CSV import, not live sync. Export your MT4 history and import it; MT4 and MT5 accounts then sit in the same journal.

Does the MT5 trading journal work with prop firms?

Yes. Prop accounts on MT5 (FTMO, Quant Tekel, FundedNext, and others) sync like any MT5 account. Set your firm's limits as playbook rules and every trade is graded against them.

Is the MT5 trading journal free?

No. Profit AI does not have a free tier. It is a paid subscription that includes MT5 auto-sync, the journal and its AI insights, chart analysis, and the AI mentor.

Auto-syncs any MT5 broker

Connect MT5 once with your account number, server, and read-only investor password. Trades (forex, indices, commodities, crypto, equity CFDs) sync automatically in the background. Works with any MT5 broker.

AI tagging and leak detection

Every trade gets auto-tagged by setup, session, and outcome. The AI surfaces patterns in your wins and losses. Revenge trading, oversized losers, breaking your own rules. That you cannot see in a raw history export.

Weekly AI session reviews

Every week, the same model that analyzes your charts writes a plain-English review of your MT5 trading: what paid, what did not, what to fix. The output is the weekly review the average trader skips.

What is an MT5 trading journal?

An MT5 trading journal is a trade log that connects directly to a trader's MetaTrader 5 account and records every fill (entry, exit, partial close, swap, commission, magic number) so the trader can review performance honestly. MT5's built-in Strategy Tester and History tab show raw numbers; a real journal layers setup tags, behavioral context, and AI-written reviews on top.

Why MT5 exports alone are not a journal

Most MT5 traders eventually export their history to Excel, sort by symbol, and call it a journal. The exported file shows what happened. It does not tell you which setup paid, which session of the day you lose most consistently, which size jump killed your edge, or which behavioral leak ate this month's profit. A real journal is built around answering those questions automatically.

How Profit AI's MT5 journal works

Connect your MT5 account once with the account number and read-only investor password. No active credentials are stored.
Your trade history is imported and kept up to date automatically. Net P&L includes swap and commission.
The AI tags each trade by setup, session, and outcome based on the chart context at entry.
The dashboard surfaces leaks: oversized losers, revenge trades, rule violations, win-rate by session, win-rate by setup.
Every week the AI writes a plain-English session review, plus a 0–100 Trader Score that summarizes the trend.

Built for prop-firm MT5 accounts

Many prop firms run on MT5, including FTMO and Quant Tekel. Their MT5 accounts sync like any other: connect with the investor password, then set the firm's daily loss limit and risk limits as playbook rules, and every trade is graded against them. Profit AI does not load firm rule sets or warn you live.
