For retail forex traders · MT4 · MT5 · cTrader

Your mistakes have a price. See it in $.

Forex runs across the London and New York sessions, so your mistakes rarely sleep — the revenge re-entry ten minutes after the London open, the position three sizes too big into NFP, the stop you dragged instead of taking. PnL Book journals your trades from an MT4 or MT5 statement, a cTrader, DXtrade or TradeLocker CSV, or a screenshot of any platform, and prices every broken rule in dollars.

One clean London scalp, one swing that carried swap, one NFP re-entry — the GBP/JPY line already has its −$18.90 of overnight swap folded into costs, and the revenge re-entry is tagged at −$246. Sample numbers; yours come from your own imported trades.

The price of a market that runs on

The account rarely dies from a bad read. It dies from the trade you took anyway.

A retail forex account doesn’t usually blow up on a wrong bias — it blows up on the trades you took because the pair was still moving: the revenge re-entry ten minutes after the London open stopped you out, the size doubled into an NFP print, the stop you dragged down “just this once” because you couldn’t take the loss. Across the London and New York sessions the screen is always live, and the impulse trade is always one click away.

PnL Book is a trading journal built around that fact. Tag the trades that broke your rules and it totals what each habit cost in dollars — spread and swap included. Revenge trading: −$1,840 this month is not a feeling; it’s the exact slice of your account one habit ate, priced in the same US dollars your positions settle in. For the funded crowd, the funded-trader edition maps the same numbers onto daily-loss and drawdown limits.

How it works

Statement or CSV in. Mistakes priced. Coach every week.

  1. A statement, CSV or screenshot in

    Upload an MT4/MT5 HTML statement, a cTrader, DXtrade or TradeLocker CSV, or a screenshot of any platform’s positions or history screen. The AI reads every fill, flags low-confidence fields for your review, and skips duplicates — nothing saves until you commit.

  2. Every mistake priced in $

    Tag the trades that broke your rules — revenge re-entries, oversized news trades, stops you moved — and each habit gets a running total in dollars. Spread and swap fold into the trade’s costs, so the number you see is the true, all-in cost.

  3. A weekly coach letter

    Every week: what worked, what leaked, and the process fix for the days ahead — every claim cited from your own ledger. Never tips, never signals, never a view on where a pair goes next.

Platforms

Works on whatever platform your broker handed you

MT4MT5cTraderDXtradeTradeLockerScreenshot any platform

MT4 and MT5 have a direct statement import; cTrader, DXtrade and TradeLocker import from a CSV export. Anything else works from a screenshot — the AI reads the trades out of the pixels, so there is no broker API to break when your broker migrates platforms or changes its export. Retail forex brokers keep reshuffling terminals; a journal that leans on broker-API sync breaks every time. PnL Book’s import doesn’t care what renders the numbers.

MT4 · MT5

MT4/MT5 statement import, spread and swap included

Running MetaTrader? Skip the screenshots entirely — the statement export every MT4/MT5 terminal already has is the cleanest way in, and it carries your spread and swap so the net cost you see is the real one.

Everything lands in the same review queue as every other import: you check the rows, duplicates are skipped, and nothing is saved until you commit.

  1. Open the Account History tab in your MT4/MT5 terminal.
  2. Right-click and choose Save as Detailed Report (an HTML file).
  3. Upload that file on the Import screen — trades, spread, swap and times parse automatically.

No signals, ever

The forex internet sells you the next trade. We price your last one.

Retail forex is drowning in signal groups, “mentors” and copy-trade rooms selling the next entry. PnL Book does the opposite: it never tells you what to buy or sell, never predicts a pair, and never posts a signal. It only reads the trades you already took and shows you, in dollars, which of your own habits leaked money — so the discipline the market demands is something you can see and price rather than outsource to someone selling you tomorrow.

What we won’t promise

PnL Book won’t predict a pair, won’t signal entries, and won’t make you profitable — anyone promising that in forex is selling something else. It’s a journal: it shows you, with your own numbers, which habits are bleeding your account, so the discipline a market that runs across sessions demands is something you can see and price rather than guess at. PnL Book is not affiliated with any broker or prop firm, and gives no investment advice. (Industry disclosures from major retail-forex brokers routinely estimate that a large majority of retail accounts lose money — check the exact figure and date on your own broker’s risk warning; those numbers are broker estimates, not ours.)

FAQ

Questions forex traders actually ask

Which forex platforms does PnL Book work with?

Running MetaTrader? Export your account history as an HTML statement from MT4 or MT5 and import it directly — fills, spreads, swaps and timestamps parse automatically. On cTrader, DXtrade or TradeLocker, export a trade-history CSV. For any other platform, desktop or mobile, upload a screenshot of your positions or history and the AI reads the numbers off the screen, so there is no broker API to hand over and nothing to break when your broker changes its export.

How do I import trades from MT4 or MT5?

In the terminal, open the Account History tab, right-click and choose Save as Detailed Report, then upload the saved HTML file on the Import screen. Your round-trip trades, spreads, swap and timestamps come in automatically, with a review step before anything is saved.

Does PnL Book account for spread and swap?

Yes. Every position's spread and overnight swap are folded into that trade's costs, so the net figure you see is the true cost — entry, exit, spread and swap together. A swing you held through several rollovers shows its real net instead of hiding the carry, and every number settles in US dollars.

Do you send forex signals or price predictions?

No. PnL Book is a journal and analytics tool for trades you have already taken. It never tells you which pair to buy or sell, never predicts where EUR/USD is going, and never sends signals — it reads your own past decisions back to you and prices the ones that leaked money.

Is my forex account data safe?

PnL Book never connects to your broker and never asks for an API key, investor password or login. You import from an MT4/MT5 statement, a CSV export or a screenshot — that is the entire surface area. Every account settles in the currency you choose, USD by default, and you can export your full history as CSV whenever you like.

The sessions never really stop. Your leaks shouldn’t hide.

Get your forex trades into PnL Book in under a minute — then see, in dollars, what your own mistakes cost, spread and swap and all.
