Auto-sync with MT4, MT5 and cTrader

On Pro, a read-only Expert Advisor or cBot pushes your closed trades to the journal by itself. Open Connectors in the sidebar for the full step-by-step with screenshots.

What auto-sync looks like

26 seconds: a trade closed in MetaTrader 4 shows up in Dusk Analyst on its own. The steps below set it up.

Steps

  1. Select the account book you want to sync, open Connectors, and add a connector for your platform.
  2. Copy that book's API key.
  3. Download the EA or cBot from the same page and install it: MT4 goes in MQL4\Experts, MT5 in MQL5\Experts\Advisors, cTrader is loaded from the Algo tab.
  4. In MetaTrader, enable WebRequest for https://duskanalyst.com under Tools, Options, Expert Advisors — MT5 also needs algorithmic trading enabled.
  5. Attach the EA or cBot to any chart, paste the API key into its inputs, and let it run.
  6. It pushes your existing closed history on first attach, then keeps up as trades close. If the terminal was off, it backfills what it missed.

Good to know

  • The EA and cBot only read your closed trade history. They never place or modify orders.
  • cTrader must run the cBot locally — cloud cBots cannot make web requests.
  • TradingView is import-only. Its connector card says Coming soon and cannot be added yet; bring TradingView trades in as a CSV.
  • Each connector card shows when it last synced, or Never synced if it has not reported in.
