For MetaTrader 4

MT4 trading journal with automatic trade sync

MetaTrader 4 is where millions of forex traders execute — and its Account History tab is where their learning goes to die. A flat list of closed tickets, no setups, no screenshots, no analytics beyond a bare profit column. MT4 records your trades; it was never designed to help you study them.

Edgelog bridges that gap with a purpose-built MT4 Expert Advisor. Attach EdgelogSync to any chart and every closed position flows into your journal the moment it closes — no exports, no copy-paste, no end-of-day admin.

Setting up the MT4 sync (about 3 minutes)

  1. Create a free Edgelog account and copy your personal sync key from Settings
  1. Download the EdgelogSync EA and drop it into your MT4 Experts folder
  1. In MT4, enable Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → Allow WebRequest for the Edgelog URL
  1. Attach the EA to any chart, paste your sync key, and click OK

That is the whole setup. The EA watches your account and posts each closed position to your journal — including pending orders that filled, partial closes, swap, and commission. It places no trades and reads nothing but your own account history.

What your MT4 history looks like inside Edgelog

Each synced ticket becomes a full journal entry: the raw execution data arrives pre-filled, and you layer on what MT4 cannot know — the setup tag from your playbook, a chart screenshot, notes on the execution, a mood tag. The analytics then work across everything: win rate by pair, profit factor by setup, session breakdowns, equity curve, and a P&L calendar.

Multiple MT4 accounts, one journal

Running a live account, a demo for a new strategy, and a prop-firm challenge? Attach the EA on each terminal and journal them side by side in one Edgelog workspace, keeping each account's analytics separate. This is where hand-kept spreadsheets collapse — and where per-account pricing on paid journals gets expensive fast. Edgelog is free either way.

Already have years of MT4 history?

Right-click in MT4's Account History, save your statement, and import it into Edgelog as a file. Your backlog gets the same analytics as newly synced trades, so your stats start from your real history — not from zero. Start journaling free — no credit card, no trial clock, no trade limits.

Frequently asked questions

Does the EdgelogSync EA place or modify trades?

No. The EA is read-only by design — it observes your account history and sends closed positions to your journal. It cannot open, close, or modify orders.

Will the EA slow down my MT4 terminal?

No. It runs a lightweight check on a timer and only sends data when a position closes. There is no tick-by-tick processing.

What happens to trades that close while my terminal is off?

When MT4 starts again the EA reconciles your recent account history, so trades that closed while you were offline are picked up on the next sync.

Does it work with any MT4 broker?

Yes — the EA reads your local account history, so it works regardless of broker, as long as your broker allows Expert Advisors (nearly all do).
