Required Data

TradeRonin automatically detects these from your MT4 report:

• Ticket — Unique trade identifier
• Open Time — Entry timestamp
• Close Time — Exit timestamp
• Type — Buy or Sell
• Size — Lot size
• Item — Symbol/Instrument
• Open Price — Entry fill price
• Close Price — Exit fill price
• Commission, Swap, Profit — Trade costs and P&L

---

How It Works

MT4 exports complete trades with entry and exit in one row. TradeRonin automatically:

• Creates an entry execution at the open time/price
• Creates an exit execution at the close time/price
• Distributes fees proportionally between entry and exit
• Groups executions using the matching engine

Troubleshooting

"No valid trades found"

• Ensure you have closed trades in your history (open trades are not imported)
• Use "Save as Report", not "Save as Detailed Report"
• Check that your date range includes trades

"File format not supported"

• Save as HTML format (.htm or .html)
• Do NOT use CSV, PDF, or Excel exports

Missing trades

• Expand your date range in MT4 before exporting
• Set to "All History" to include all trades

Duplicate Trades

Re-uploading the same file won't create duplicates. TradeRonin uses the Ticket number for deduplication.
