Export your MetaTrader 5 trade history

Toolbox › History › Report › HTML

New in Hammer. We built this import from MetaTrader 5's documented export format and haven't seen a real file yet. Check a few trades against MetaTrader 5 after importing — and if something's off, the Feedback button reaches us directly.

Steps

In MetaTrader 5 on your computer, open the Toolbox (Ctrl+T) and the History tab.
Right-click, choose Positions, and pick the period.
Right-click again and choose Report › HTML.
Save the file and import it as it is.

What's in the file

An HTML report whose Positions table has one row per trade: open and close time, position ID, symbol, buy or sell, volume, prices, commission, swap and profit.

What Hammer does with it

Reads the Positions table and nothing after it (orders and deals would double-count).
The P&L is profit plus commission and swap.

Good to know

Choose the HTML report, not Open XML. Times are the broker's server time — check a trade's date after importing.

Import it

On the web: Settings › Your data › Import…, then drop the file in.
On iPhone, iPad or Mac: Settings › Import › Import…, then choose the file.
Just curious? Try it with your trades — Hammer reads the file right in your browser and shows what's costing you, before you sign up.
