What you get with a PPI trading journal

After your PPI MT5 history is in TradeReview, you can review win rate, P&L, expectancy, and trade notes in one place — instead of piecing performance together from the terminal alone.

PPI trading journal via MT5 Auto Sync

Syncing your PPI MetaTrader 5 account with TradeReview is straightforward. Prefer to watch? This walkthrough covers connecting MT5, sync status, and viewing imported trades in your trading journal.

Auto Sync needs a TradeReview Pro subscription, plus your PPI MT5 server name, login, and password (investor/read-only is recommended).

  1. Open the Broker Sync page in TradeReview, or click the + button in the sidebar and choose Broker Sync.
  2. Click Add new broker.
  3. Select MetaTrader 5 from the broker list.
  4. Choose Live or Demo under Account type.
  5. Enter your PPI MT5 credentials: Server, Login (account number), and Password (or investor password).
  6. Click Add broker. TradeReview validates your credentials and starts the initial sync.

After connecting, TradeReview imports full history on first sync, then updates about every hour. You can also trigger Resync now from the Broker Sync page.

Important notes

  • Investor password: Prefer the investor (read-only) password when connecting. Brokers often create it automatically — check the MT5 Mailbox tab or emails from PPI.
  • Troubleshooting: If connection fails, confirm the server name, login, and password. Try both your regular and investor passwords. If status shows Broken (for example after a password change), click Fix on the Broker Sync page and re-enter credentials.
  • Resync: Manual Resync now is available about once every 15 minutes.

Import PPI trades into your trading journal

Prefer a one-time import? Export an HTML history report from the PPI MT5 terminal and upload it to your TradeReview trading journal. File upload is available on paid plans — see pricing.

  1. Open the MetaTrader 5 desktop app for your PPI account.
  2. In the Terminal window, select the History tab.
  3. Right-click in History and choose the time period you want to export.
  4. Right-click again, select Report → HTML, and save the file. Make sure the report is in English.
  5. Open the File Upload page in TradeReview (or click + in the sidebar), select your account, choose MetaTrader 5, and upload the HTML file.

Right-click History → Report → HTML, then save the file.

Common errors

  • HTML file must be in English. In MT5, go to View → Languages and select English, then export the report again.
  • Use the broker-specific MT5 terminal. Download MetaTrader 5 from PPI (not a generic install) so History and Report export match your account.
  • Wrong file type. Upload the HTML report from History → Report → HTML — not a CSV or screenshot.
