Match-Trader trading journal
Export your Match-Trader trade history from History > Closed positions > Export as CSV or XLSX, then drop it into TradeStack. The importer recognises the Match-Trader layout, builds a daily P&L calendar and calculates win rate, profit factor and expectancy for free.
Exporting your Match-Trader trade history
Match-Trader keeps its trade export under History > Closed positions > Export. Choose the widest date range you can and download the CSV 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 Match-Trader file
One quirk worth knowing: closed-position exports already carry net profit per position. 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.
Prop firms that run on Match-Trader
If you are trading a funded or evaluation account on Match-Trader, the same export feeds your rule tracking — daily loss, drawdown and consistency all read off the imported trades.
Metrics you get from Match-Trader trades

New to the terminology? Profit factor, Expectancy, R multiple, Drawdown.
Who this is for
Match-Trader is used mainly by forex traders on Match-Trader prop challenges, 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.
