Dynamic Markets trading journal for MetaTrader 5
Two ways in: let Auto Sync pull closed trades from the MT5 terminal every hour, or export one HTML report and upload it. Either way your fills arrive with P&L, win rate and expectancy already worked out.
Can I connect Dynamic Markets to TradeReview?
Yes. Dynamic Markets runs on MetaTrader 5, and TradeReview connects to MT5 through the terminal rather than through a broker-specific integration — so every Dynamic Markets MT5 account works. Auto Sync imports your full history on the first connection and then updates roughly every hour on the Pro plan ($19.90/mo), using the read-only investor password. If you'd rather not link credentials at all, export an HTML history report from the Dynamic Markets MT5 terminal and upload it on Basic ($9.90/mo) or Pro. Manual journalling is free, with no card and no time limit.
Pick how your trades get in
Both paths end in the same journal. Auto Sync is set-and-forget; file import is a one-off you repeat whenever you want fresh trades.
Connect MT5 Auto Sync
Open Broker Sync in TradeReview, or hit + in the sidebar and choose Broker Sync.
Click Add new broker and select MetaTrader 5.
Choose Live or Demo to match the account you trade.
Enter the server name, login number and investor password from your account email.
Click Add broker. Credentials are validated and the first sync starts — full history now, hourly after that.

Export from the terminal and upload
Use the MetaTrader 5 desktop app your broker gave you, not a generic install — History and Report export have to match the account.
Step 1
In the Terminal window, select the History tab.
Step 2
Right-click and pick the period you want — All history for a first import.
Step 3
Right-click again → Report → HTML, and save the file in English.
Open File Upload in TradeReview, pick your account, choose MetaTrader 5 and drop in the HTML file.
What the terminal won't tell you
MT5 shows you a list of closed positions. Once that history is in TradeReview it becomes a record you can question — by session, by symbol, by the reason you wrote down before you clicked.
Win rate by session
London vs New York, split out — most forex journals hide this inside one number.
R-multiple distribution
Whether your winners are paying for the losers, or a single outlier is.
Review Sessions
A weekly pass over the trades you flagged, with notes and screenshots attached.
If something doesn't connect
Credentials rejected
Server names are case- and suffix-sensitive. Copy it from the MT5 login window rather than typing it, and try the investor password as well as your regular one.
Status shows Broken
Usually a password change on the broker side. Click Fix on the Broker Sync page and re-enter — history already imported stays put.
Upload says wrong format
The report has to be HTML from History → Report, and it has to be in English. Switch MT5 to English under View → Languages and export again.
Trades look stale
Auto Sync updates hourly and only picks up closed positions. Resync now is available about once every 15 minutes.
Dynamic Markets journal questions
Do I need a special Dynamic Markets account for this?
No. Any Dynamic Markets MetaTrader 5 account works — live, demo or a prop challenge. There is nothing to enable on the broker's side; you only need the server name, login and password the account was opened with.
Is my password safe?
Use the investor password. It is read-only by design — it can pull history and nothing else. No one can place or close a trade with it.
How far back does Dynamic Markets history import?
The first Auto Sync pulls everything the terminal holds for that account. For file import you choose the period yourself when you right-click History — pick All history the first time, then shorter windows for top-ups.
Can I journal a prop or demo account?
Yes. Pick Demo under account type when you connect, or upload the report. Challenge accounts are journalled the same way as live ones.
Is TradeReview affiliated with Dynamic Markets?
No. This is an independent setup guide. We are not partnered with, endorsed by or sponsored by Dynamic Markets, and we take no cut of anything you trade there.
Does it cost anything to try?
The journal itself is free with manual entry and no time limit. File import starts at $9.90/mo on Basic; Auto Sync is $19.90/mo on Pro.
