Which brokers work?
Any broker running MT4, MT5 or cTrader works with Dusk Analyst, 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 and P&L.
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 and no lock-in, and you cancel from Billing in the app. On a paid plan, cancelling stops future billing and you keep Pro until the end of the period you have already paid for. Cancelling during the free trial ends the trial straight away, with nothing charged. Either way the account drops back to the Free tier, which keeps working forever at $0, and your trading history stays readable and exportable; 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.
Is Dusk Analyst really free?
Yes. The free tier costs $0 forever and includes two accounts, manual trade entry and CSV import - enough to journal a live account properly, with win rate, expectancy, drawdown and equity curve all calculated for you. There is no credit card required to start. Pro ($25/month flat) adds unlimited accounts, MT4/MT5/cTrader auto-sync, AI insights on your trading (1,000 trade-analyses a month), monthly reports and full export, and has a free trial of up to 30 days (card required). The pricing is deliberately simple: one plan, one price, no per-feature upsells.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Dusk Analyst Pro has a free trial of up to 30 days: 30 days if you start it within an hour of signing up, 15 days within 24 hours. A card is required to start it, nothing is charged on the day it starts, and when the trial ends Pro is $25/month unless you cancel. We email you a reminder before the trial ends. You can cancel anytime from Billing in the app; cancelling during the trial ends it straight away, nothing is charged, and your account goes back to the Free plan with every trade kept. There is one trial per account. The trial includes everything in Pro: MT4, MT5 and cTrader auto-sync, monthly reports, unlimited account books, 1,000 AI credits a month for AI Insights and CSV export. Start it in the app at app.duskanalyst.com, where it is offered whenever you open a Pro feature such as Connectors, and from the plan card in the sidebar. The Free plan is separate: it needs no card and stays free forever.
Can I import my existing trade history?
Yes - CSV import is available on every plan, including free. If you've been tracking trades in a spreadsheet, broker export or another journal, export the CSV from wherever it lives and import it into Dusk Analyst; the journal matches it against your accounts and keeps your history continuous. Import is also the fallback for platforms that don't run MT4, MT5 or cTrader. For MT4/MT5/cTrader terminals, Pro auto-syncs going forward and the EA backfills any trades your terminal missed while it was off. Any platform that exports a CSV of your trade history works. Dusk Analyst recognises TradingView, Tradovate, cTrader, MT4 and MT5 exports on sight; for anything else you map your columns once and that parser is saved for next time. Comma, semicolon and tab files are all handled, day-first and month-first dates are detected from the file itself, and any row that cannot be read is listed for you rather than dropped quietly.
How many AI credits do I get with Dusk Analyst Pro?
Pro includes 1,000 AI trade-analyses every month. One credit covers one trade, so asking a question about a 40-trade week costs 40 credits and you can keep asking. The allowance resets on the 1st of each month and the counter sits in the top bar of the app, so you always know where you stand. Narrowing a question to one account or a shorter date range makes the same allowance go much further. Free accounts get a small number of AI credits to try AI Insights, alongside the full journal, analytics and weekly reports, and Pro's free trial (up to 30 days) includes the full monthly allowance.
