What can I find in my MT4 trading report?

MetaTrader 4 trading statements allow you to evaluate your overall trading performance and examine your individual trades. To access trading reports in MT4:

  • Go to the "Account History" tab in the lower "Terminal" menu.
  • Right-click to bring up a drop-down menu.
  • Select "Save as Report" from the drop-down menu.

By right-clicking in the "Account History" tab, you can choose to generate a trading report for your entire trading history ("All History"), the "Last 3 Months" or the "Last Month". Or you can generate a report for the time period of your choice by selecting "Custom Period".

Daily trading reports (Confirmations) and monthly reports (Statements) are sent to your registered email address.

What You'll Find in Your Trading Report:

  • Deposit/Withdrawal: The total result of deposits and withdrawals to / from the account over the reporting period (if no deposits or withdrawals were made, "Deposit/Withdrawal" will read 0)
  • Credit Facility: Available credit
  • Closed Trade P/L: Total profits or losses from transactions closed during the period
  • Floating P/L: Total floating profits and losses on all transactions open on a client's account at the time the report is generated
  • Margin: Total margin for all open transactions at the time the report is generated
  • Balance: The total financial result of all completed trading and non-trading transactions (deposits, withdrawals) on the trading account at the time the report is generated
  • Equity: The equity level at the moment the statement was generated (Balance + Credit + Floating profit - Floating loss)
  • Free Margin: Funds available to open a new position at the time the report is generated (Free Margin = Equity - Margin)

In addition to regular trading reports, MetaTrader 4 allows you to generate a "detailed report," which includes additional information about your trading account, allowing you to analyze your trading performance more thoroughly.

To generate a detailed report:

  • In MetaTrader 4, go to the "Account History" tab in the lower "Terminal" menu.
  • Right-click to bring up a drop-down menu.
  • Select "Save as Detailed Report" from the drop-down menu.
