What Trade Journal Pro EA does
Trade Journal Pro is a lightweight Meta Trader EA that auto-journals every MT4/MT5 trade. It captures execution data (symbol, direction, lot size, entry/exit price & time, SL/TP, net P/L) and saves chart screenshots at entry and close. You get an accurate, searchable history without typing—and the visual context to understand why a trade worked or failed.
Who it’s for
-
Manual traders who skip journaling because it’s slow
-
EA users who want clean, auditable logs
-
Funded-account and prop traders who need consistent records
-
Coaches/mentors reviewing students’ trades with screenshots
What gets recorded (fields)
-
Trade metadata: symbol, ticket, direction, lot size
-
Entry/exit price & time, SL/TP, commission, swap, net P/L
-
Screenshots: time-stamped chart images on open/close
-
Optional tags: strategy, session, market condition, custom notes
Workflow (3 steps)
-
Attach the EA to one chart in MT4/MT5 (any pair).
-
Trade normally (manual or with other EAs).
-
Review & export: filter by date/pair/strategy and export CSV/Excel for deeper analysis.
Why screenshots matter
Performance stats tell you what happened; screenshots show the market context—trend, structure, news spikes, and execution quality—so you can refine entry rules, avoid low-probability conditions, and build a reliable playbook.
