What you need
TradeDNA syncs MetaTrader 5 accounts using your investor password, the read-only password from your broker. It can see your trades and never place them. Auto-sync is available for MetaTrader 5. If you trade on MetaTrader 4, bring your history in with a statement import instead (see Importing trades from a file).
Find your investor password in MetaTrader 5: right-click your account, then choose Investor (read-only). If you do not have it, your broker can reissue it.
1. Add the connection
Go to Settings, then Connections, open the Auto-sync tab, choose Add auto-sync account, and pick MetaTrader 5.
2. Enter your details
Broker server is your broker's server name. Start typing to search the list. The exact name shows in MetaTrader 5 next to your login.
Account login is the numeric account ID from your broker.
Investor password is the read-only password.
Account label is optional, a nickname to tell accounts apart.
Then choose Connect MT5.
3. Wait for the first sync
The first connection can take up to about two minutes while your full history loads. When it finishes you will see how many trades came in, and older history keeps filling in for a couple of minutes after. From here, new trades sync on their own.
If the login does not go through, double-check the investor password and the server name, they are the two most common mix-ups.
