Required Data

TradeRonin automatically detects these from your MT5 report:

• Deal — Unique deal identifier
• Time — Execution timestamp
• Symbol — Instrument
• Type — Buy or Sell
• Direction — In (entry) or Out (exit)
• Volume — Lot/contract size
• Price — Execution price
• Commission, Fee, Swap, Profit — Trade costs and P&L

---

How It Works

MT5 exports individual deals (executions), not complete trades. TradeRonin:

• Imports all deals as separate executions
• Groups entry and exit executions using the Order ID
• Applies the matching engine (FIFO/LIFO/WAC) for proper pairing
• Calculates P&L from grouped executions

Troubleshooting

"No valid trades found"

• Ensure you have completed deals in your history
• Balance deposits/withdrawals are skipped automatically
• Check that your date range includes trades

"File format not supported"

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

Missing trades

• Expand your date range in MT5 before exporting
• Use "All History" to include all trades
• Check if trades are on a different account

Trades not matching correctly

• MT5 uses Order ID to group deals
• If your broker uses different order IDs for entry/exit, trades may appear as separate

Duplicate Trades

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