IC Markets trading journal

Short answer

Export your IC Markets trade history from MT4/MT5/cTrader account history export as CSV, HTML or XLSX, then drop it into TradeStack. The importer recognises the IC Markets layout, builds a daily P&L calendar and calculates win rate, profit factor and expectancy for free.

Exporting your IC Markets trade history

IC Markets keeps its trade export under MT4/MT5/cTrader account history export. Choose the widest date range you can and download the CSV, HTML or XLSX file. You do not need to reorder columns, rename headers or delete rows first — TradeStack fingerprints the header row and maps the fields itself.

What the importer does with a IC Markets file

One quirk worth knowing: raw-spread accounts list commission separately, which is deducted from net P&L. That matters because a journal that pairs fills incorrectly will report a win rate and average win that do not match your statement. After import you can open any trade, edit it, add a screenshot, tag a playbook and write the note that explains the decision.

Metrics you get from IC Markets trades

Daily P&L calendar with the dollar result printed on each day
Win rate, average win, average loss and profit factor
Expectancy per trade and a running equity curve
Stats per instrument and per holding time
Consistency %, which prop firms check before paying out

New to the terminology? Profit factor, Expectancy, R multiple, Drawdown.

Who this is for

IC Markets is used mainly by raw spread forex traders, trading forex and CFDs. If that is you, the fastest useful review loop is a weekly import: export the week, import it, and read P&L by session and by setup rather than by single trade.
