Export your MetaTrader trade history, no code

If your broker gives you MetaTrader 4 or 5, the desktop terminal can save your account history as a report file. MetaQuotes' help pages confirm HTML for MetaTrader 4, and HTML or PDF for MetaTrader 5. Works the same at every broker that runs MetaTrader.

Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.

Steps

  1. Open the desktop terminal

    Log in to your account in the MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 desktop terminal your broker gave you. The history sits in a tab of the window along the bottom of the screen: Account History in MetaTrader 4, History in MetaTrader 5.

  5. MetaTrader 5: save as HTML or PDF

    Save the report as HTML or PDF. The export commands sit in the File menu and in the report menu, added in build 4150 in January 2024, so update the terminal if you do not see them.

  6. Open the HTML file in Excel

    In the MetaTrader 4 or 5 desktop terminal, open the History tab (Account History in MetaTrader 4), right click and choose Report (Save as Report in MetaTrader 4). That saves an HTML file. In Excel, choose File > Open, set the file type to All files, pick the saved .htm file and Excel opens the report as a sheet. Then File > Save As > Excel Workbook keeps it as a spreadsheet. MetaQuotes does not list the columns, so check the totals against your broker's statement.
