Auto-sync on MetaTrader 4

The MT4 trading journal that records every trade without you touching it.

Drop in the Traders Vault EA on Pro, and every closed MT4 trade logs itself the moment it closes — entry, exit, lot size, P&L, commission, swap and timestamps. No CSV exports, no spreadsheets, no manual entry.

Free tier: 2 accounts, no card required.

Why it matters

Why MT4 traders switch from spreadsheets to an automatic journal

Manual logging fails at the exact moment you are busiest. An automatic journal captures the trades you would otherwise miss, so your review is complete and honest.

Read-only EA, safe on your chart

The Traders Vault EA never places orders, changes charts, or touches your indicators. It reads your closed-trade history and sends it over HTTPS with a per-account API key. It runs on its own chart window and sits alongside your existing EAs.

Every trade, exactly as it happened

Entry, exit, lot size, P&L, commission, swap and timestamps are captured the moment a trade closes. No guessing, no transcription errors, and no missed trades while you are in the market.

Catch-up when your terminal was off

If MT4 was closed when a trade closed, the EA catches up automatically on its next run. You can also import manually from CSV at any time to backfill older accounts or other platforms.

FAQ

Questions about MT4 journaling, answered.

How does an MT4 trading journal auto-sync trades?

Traders Vault syncs MT4 trades with a read-only Expert Advisor. You create an account, grab your per-account API key from the connectors panel, and drop the EA onto a chart. The moment a trade closes, the EA pushes the full trade data over HTTPS: entry, exit, lot size, P&L, commission, swap and timestamps. If your terminal was off when a trade closed, the EA catches up automatically on its next run, so you never lose trades to downtime. The whole setup takes about two minutes, and manual CSV import remains available for backfilling or for platforms that are not yet supported. The journal never sees your broker password or login credentials; only your closed trades and the account nickname leave the terminal. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI that answers your insight questions runs on DeepSeek.

Is the MT4 EA safe to run with my other indicators?

Yes. The Traders Vault EA is read-only: it reads your closed-trade history and sends it to the journal, and it never places orders, changes charts, or touches your indicators. It runs on its own chart window, so follow the usual one-EA-per-chart convention and it sits alongside everything else on your terminal. Because the sync is read-only, the risk of interference is minimal, and the journal never sees your broker password. If you run several accounts, each gets its own API key, so trades land in the correct vault without cross-contamination. The EA is a single .mq4 file with no external dependencies. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI that answers your insight questions runs on DeepSeek. On Pro, setup takes about two minutes: create your account, grab a per-account API key from the connectors panel, and drop the EA or cBot onto a chart.

Which MT4 brokers does it work with?

Traders Vault works with any broker that runs MT4. In our 2026 audit we checked 356 brokers and prop firms one by one against their own sites, and the brokers table on our home page shows exactly which platforms each one supports, with the evidence trail behind every entry. There is no per-broker integration code, so adding a new broker costs nothing on your side. If your broker is not listed, CSV import still gets your trades into the journal, and the Free tier covers two accounts so you can test manual entry and CSV import before upgrading to Pro for terminal auto-sync. The journal never sees your broker password or login credentials; only your closed trades and the account nickname leave the terminal. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI that answers your insight questions runs on DeepSeek.
