Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I find my account history in MetaTrader 5 (MT5)?

In MT5, press Ctrl+T to open Terminal, then select Account History. It shows historical closed trades and completed balance operations for the logged-in account and selected date range. Use the Trade tab for open positions, pending orders and current account figures.

How do I view closed trades in MT5?

In MetaTrader 5 (MT5), open the Terminal (Ctrl+T) and select the Account History tab, where every closed position is listed with its open and close times, prices, volume and profit or loss. To change the date range, right-click inside the tab and choose an option such as All History, Last Month, or Custom Period to focus on a specific timeframe.

How do I read profit and loss in the M5 Account History?

In MT5 Account History, a positive Profit value indicates a gain on the closed trade and a negative value indicates a loss, in the account currency. Check the separate Commission and Swap columns as well; these affect the net result. The Trade tab shows floating profit or loss on open positions.

How do I save or export my trade history from MT5?

In MT5, open Terminal > Account History, select the required date range, then right-click and choose Save as Report or Save as Detailed Report. MT5 saves the report as an HTML file. The detailed report adds trading statistics to the transaction information.

What is the difference between a statement and a detailed statement in MT5?

An MT5 standard report includes account details, closed trades, open trades, working orders and account totals for the selected history. A detailed report adds performance statistics, including profit, loss and drawdown figures. Generate either from the Account History tab using Save as Report or Save as Detailed Report.

Why don't my closed trades show in MT5 Account History?

Most often the visible date range is limited. Right-click in the Account History tab and select All History, or set a Custom Period covering the dates you need. Remember this tab shows only closed trades and completed transactions, so anything still open appears on the Trade tab instead. Records are tied to that specific trading account, so log in to the correct account.
