cTrader history workflow
Import cTrader history into a trading journal built for review.
Forgalis TradingJournal can retrieve authorised cTrader account and execution history through a read-only import workflow, then keep the imported records in your local journal for screenshots, notes and structured review.
FTJ does not place, modify or close trades through cTrader. The integration is for authorised history retrieval.
The import flow
Connect the history source without turning the journal into an execution platform.
The workflow separates broker authorisation, execution retrieval and journal review. That keeps the source facts clear while leaving your own context under your control.
- 1Open cTrader authorisation
FTJ opens the cTrader authorisation page in your browser. Your cTrader password is not stored by FTJ.
- 2Link the correct accounts
Match the external cTrader account to the journal account that should receive its history.
- 3Preview and select executions
Review the rows exposed by the authorised account before choosing what to import.
- 4Review locally
Add screenshots, notes and reusable review fields after the selected history is stored in the local journal.
Read-only history import
Import the history. Keep trade execution in cTrader.
FTJ uses the cTrader connection only to retrieve the account and execution history you authorise. Trading and account management remain in cTrader.
- FTJ cannot place, modify or close cTrader trades.
- Your cTrader password is not stored in FTJ.
- Authorisation tokens are protected locally for your Windows user.
- Authorised history is retrieved between your computer and cTrader, not through a Forgalis journal-data service.
History is only the first layer
Execution facts do not explain the decision.
Broker history can supply prices, quantities, times and realised outcomes. The review becomes more useful when you add the reasoning and visual context that the broker record does not contain.
Notes and reflection
Record the plan, what you noticed and what should be reviewed after the result is known.
Reusable categories
Apply consistent strategies, confluences, exit reasons and other review fields across imported trades.
A focused cTrader guide
Use the MetaTrader guide when MT4 or MT5 is your history source.
This page intentionally explains the cTrader-specific OAuth and history workflow. FTJ uses separate local-terminal workflows for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, with their own bridge setup, active-account checks and history boundaries.
Available fields and grouping depend on what each source provides. A cTrader, MT4, MT5 or file import should not be expected to expose identical information.
