Which brokers work?
Any broker running MT4, MT5 or cTrader works with DuskAnalyst, which covers most retail forex and CFD brokers. Our 2026 audit checked 356 brokers and prop firms one by one against their own sites; the table on this page shows exactly which platforms each supports. Setup takes about two minutes per account: create the account, grab a per-account API key, and drop in the EA or cBot. Terminal auto-sync is a Pro feature; Free covers manual entry and CSV import. There is no per-broker integration code, and platforms not yet listed still work through CSV import or manual entry.
Do I need to keep my terminal open?
Only for live auto-sync: the EA or cBot pushes a trade the moment it closes, so the terminal must be running at that moment. If it was off, the EA catches up on its next run, so no trades are lost to downtime. Manual entry and CSV import work without the terminal at all on the Free plan. Setup takes about two minutes - create the account, drop the EA or cBot onto a chart, and give it the per-account API key. After that, every closed trade logs itself: entry, exit, lot size, P&L, commission, swap and timestamps.
Is my trading data safe?
Yes. Trades sync over HTTPS with a per-account API key, and the journal never sees your broker password or login credentials. Only closed trades and the account nickname leave the terminal - the EA and cBot never place orders, change charts, or touch indicators. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI behind the insight answers runs on DeepSeek. The full policy is on the Terms and Privacy page.
Is it any good for prop firm accounts?
Yes, it is built for them. Demo, live and funded accounts run side by side in the same vault, each with its own starting balance and API key, so performance compares cleanly across evaluations. On MT4, MT5 or cTrader, auto-sync works like any other account: the read-only EA or cBot pushes every closed trade and never places orders, so it falls outside the order-copying rules most prop firms enforce. Free covers two accounts with manual entry and CSV import; Pro adds auto-sync, unlimited accounts, AI insights and reports. Tracked prop firms include FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers, Funding Pips, MyFundedFX, Smart Prop Trader and The Funded Trader.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There are no setup fees, no lock-in, and cancellation is one click from the billing page. When you cancel, the trading history stays readable and exportable, and the Free tier keeps working forever at $0, so you can drop back instead of losing access. Cancelling takes effect immediately: no further billing, and nothing is deleted until you choose to remove the account. Free includes weekly report export; Pro adds full export of every trade, tag and note.
Will the EA or cBot conflict with my other indicators or EAs?
No. The EA is read-only: it reads the closed-trade history and sends it over HTTPS, and never places orders, changes charts, or touches indicators. It runs on its own chart window, following the usual one-EA-per-chart convention, so it sits alongside everything else. The cBot works the same way. Each account gets its own API key, so trades land in the correct vault. The EA is a single .mq4 or .mq5 file with no external dependencies, and the cBot is a single .cs file for cTrader.
Will my prop firm allow this?
Because the EA is read-only, it falls outside the order-copying rules most prop firms enforce: it records closed trades and places nothing. A small number of firms restrict any external software, so check your firm's policy if you are unsure. The vault works with every firm running MT4, MT5 or cTrader - we verified 356 brokers and prop firms against their own sites in 2026. Demo, live and funded accounts run side by side with their own balances and API keys. If a firm disallows external tools, CSV import and manual entry remain available.
Do you sell or share my trading data?
No. Your trading data is never sold. It is shared only with the processors needed to run the service: hosting and storage (Cloudflare), identity (Auth0), billing (Stripe), and the AI behind the insight answers (DeepSeek). Trades sync over HTTPS with a per-account API key, and the journal never sees your broker password or credentials. There is no advertising on the platform, so the data is never used for ad targeting. Export is always available, and deleting the account removes the records.
Can I export my data if I leave?
Yes, always. Free includes weekly report export; Pro adds full export of every trade, tag and note, so nothing is held hostage. Export covers the fields you actually journaled - entry, exit, P&L, tags, notes and screenshots - in a format you can keep, and the download is immediate. There is no lock-in: cancel in one click, and the Free tier keeps working at $0 if you want to stay without paying. Data is stored on Cloudflare and only shared with the processors needed to run the service.
