JournalX · MT5 · in development

A journal that knows why you took the trade

MetaTrader already has a trade history. What it does not have is the reason. JournalX records the setup, the session and the model alongside the fill, then tells you which of them actually pays.

It fills itself in

Setup type and timeframe, fresh or tested, session, execution model, planned and realised R — taken from the tools you are already running. You type nothing.

MAE and MFE

How far each trade went against you before it worked, and how much you gave back at the end. Usually the number that changes how someone trades.

On the chart and in a report

A panel for the things you check daily, and an HTML report for the questions that need fifty trades side by side.

Yours alone

Everything stays in MQL5\\Files on your machine. No account, no upload, no subscription to a website.

What it is

Every journal on the market reads your broker statement, so every journal can tell you the same thing: how much you made. None of them can tell you whether your fresh H4 demand zones pay better than your tested H1 supply, because none of them know which zone you were trading.

JournalX does, because the tools that marked the zone are the ones feeding it.

What is in it

1 · From MT5

Entry and exit, volume, commission and swap · stop and target at entry and every change · planned and realised R · spread and slippage at fill · session, weekday, holding time

2 · From your tools

Setup type and its timeframe · fresh or tested · structure and premium / discount · kill zone · execution model · ladder steps hit · which account copied it

3 · Sampled live

MAE and MFE in price, pips and R, from the moment the trade opens

4 · From you

One prompt at close: did this follow the plan? Two clicks, or ignore it

5 · The report

Expectancy by setup, by session, by execution model · heat against result · the trade list with charts at entry and close

6 · The panel

Today, Stats, Setups and Last, on the chart, so the daily check needs no other window

Which of your setups actually pays

Expectancy per setup type, per timeframe, fresh against tested. The table where a trader finds out their H4 demand is carrying the account and their H1 supply is quietly bleeding it.

Does waiting for the model pay?

Market against limit against EM1 against EM2, with the average slippage on each. A number you can act on, rather than a feeling about whether patience helps.

Works with the rest

Where the context comes from

JournalX records every trade on its own, and records far more when the other tools are attached.

With the Suite or JTraderX

The setup, the model and the ladder are recorded because the engine knows them.

With JTrader Copier

A copied trade is marked with the account it came from.

On its own

Every trade still gets session, R, MAE and MFE, and the report still works.

Frequently asked

When is it out?

In development. It is included in both premium bundles, and bundle buyers get it as soon as it ships.

Does anything leave my computer?

No. Files stay in MQL5\\Files. There is no account and nothing to sign into.

Will it import my existing trades?

Yes, on first run it reads the account's deal history. Context fields are blank for those, since the tools were not watching at the time.

Can it place trades?

No, and it never will. It reads. A journal that can trade is a liability.
