Install the MT5 Expert Advisor

The Chart Reporter Expert Advisor (EA) securely sends your trading activity from MetaTrader 5 to your journal. It does not require your broker password.

Download the EA

1. Sign in to Chart Reporter.
2. Open the EA download area and download ChartReporter_EA.zip.
3. Extract the archive.

Install in MetaTrader 5

1. In MetaTrader 5, choose File → Open Data Folder.
2. Copy the extracted EA file into MQL5/Experts.
3. Restart MetaTrader 5, or refresh the Navigator panel.
4. Drag the Chart Reporter EA onto a chart for the account you want to journal.
5. Enable Algo Trading when MT5 prompts you.

What happens next

The EA sends a heartbeat while it is running. When Chart Reporter sees that heartbeat, the account's terminal status changes to online.

Continue with connecting your terminal.
