The MT5 Trading Journal That Syncs Itself

If you trade on MetaTrader 5, manual journaling is the tax that eventually makes you quit. TradeTaper connects to your local MT5 terminal and imports every trade automatically — fills, prices, sizes, and timestamps — so the objective record is complete and honest, and you only add the reflection on top.

How local MT5 sync works

A lightweight connector runs alongside your MetaTrader 5 terminal and streams your closed trades and live positions to your TradeTaper journal. Because it reads from your own terminal, it doesn't depend on your broker being on a cloud-integration list — if you can trade it on MT5, you can journal it here.

Every trade lands in your journal with its real execution data, ready for you to tag the setup, rate your confidence, attach a screenshot, and note how you executed.

Why automatic beats manual

  • No transcription: fills and sizes are captured for you, accurately.
  • No selective memory: your worst days get logged too — the ones you most need to review.
  • Faster reviews: analytics by setup, session, and instrument are ready instantly.
  • More reflection, less admin: spend your energy on why, not on data entry.

Built for forex, metals, and prop-firm traders

MT5 is the home of forex, metals, indices, and most prop-firm challenges. TradeTaper is built around that world: automatic sync, R-multiple analytics, risk tools, and a dedicated prop-firm tracker, so your journal speaks the same language as your trading.
