Trade Analytics · Guide · 10 minutes
Trade Analytics with your MT5 account
A breakdown of where your account makes and loses money, your days closest to a prop limit, and an account review you can save as PDF or share as a link.
What you need
- MetaTrader 5 on a computer (Windows or Mac). The phone app cannot save reports.
- A browser: Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox.
- No sign-up and no password. Your MT5 password is never asked for.
Steps
Save your history from MT5
In MetaTrader 5 open the Toolbox window (Ctrl+T) and go to the History tab. Right-click the list, choose Positions and the period you want, for example All History. Right-click again, choose Report, then HTML, and save the file.
Open Trade Analytics
Go to kalibremarkets.com/lab/analytics. Drop the saved file on the box, or click it to choose the file.
Set the server time
Under the box, set Server time (UTC offset) to your broker's server time. MT5 shows it in the Market Watch window. The hour, weekday and session results use it.
Read the overview
Net P&L, win rate, profit factor and drawdown at the top. Below: results by symbol, opening hour, weekday, session, direction, holding time, trade size, the trade after a loss and losing streaks.
Check a prop limit
If the account is a prop challenge, pick the firm's rules in Prop limits. You see each day's distance to the daily and total floor.
Ask a question
In Your own view, type a question such as worst 5 symbols or net by hour. The table or chart appears below it, and you can save the view.
Keep or share the result
Click Open the report page. Save it as PDF with the browser's print menu, or click Share a read-only link to get a link that opens for 30 days.
What you will see
- Account overview with the balance curve.
- Segments that cost money, sorted by size.
- Prop limit days, if you pick a firm.
- An account review page to keep.
Good to know
- The report's account number and name are not read.
- Only closed positions are analysed. Open positions are not in an MT5 history report.
- Results describe the past and say nothing about future trades.
Optional: what if you had held
Trade Analytics can follow every trade past your exit: what it would be worth now, whether a loser came back to breakeven, and when the account would have hit the prop floor with everything kept open. It needs the prices after your trades, which the Kalibre History Export script writes from your own MT5.
Download the script
Download KalibreHistoryExport.ex5 from this link.
Copy it into MT5
In MetaTrader 5 choose File → Open Data Folder, open MQL5, then Scripts, and copy the file there. In the Navigator (Ctrl+N) right-click Scripts and choose Refresh.
Run it once
Drag KalibreHistoryExport onto any chart. It writes two files to MQL5 → Files → Kalibre in the same data folder: kalibre-history (your trades) and kalibre-prices (prices, lot values, swaps and the stop-out level).
Drop both files
Drop the history file in Trade Analytics as usual, then choose the price file in What if you had held. Without the script, click Use ECB daily rates: currency pairs only, one price a day, no swaps.
