Account History – Closed Trades
Welcome to Lesson 8 of the Second Module in the PROP365 Academy. In this session, we’ll focus on Closed Trades and how to view, filter, and report on them inside the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform. Understanding your past trades is crucial for improving your performance and managing risk over time.
Where to Find Closed Trades in MT4
You can view all your closed trades in the Terminal Window, under the Account History tab. This section lists every completed trade and provides detailed information, such as:
- Order number
- Symbol
- Opening and closing times
- Lot size
- Profit/Loss
To access more options, right-click anywhere inside the Account History tab. This opens a drop-down menu with useful tools for managing your data.
Customizing the View
You can select specific timeframes using the four default options in the drop-down menu or manually define a custom period. At the bottom of this menu, you’ll also find column adjustment tools that let you customize what data you want to see per trade.
Whether you want a quick look at your recent activity or a deep dive into monthly results, MT4 has you covered.
Generate Detailed Trade Reports
One of the most powerful features of the Account History tab is the Report Generator. You can export your data to HTML or Excel format and review it anytime.
The report includes:
- Closed Transactions: All trades completed during the selected time
- Open Trades: Positions that were active at the moment of report generation
- Working Orders: Pending orders that were still valid
Understanding Trade Performance
The report provides a full account summary including:
- Withdrawals and Deposits
- Timeframe of the report
- Profit and Loss (PL) of closed trades
- Floating PL of active trades
- Equity (calculated as Balance ± Floating PL + Credit Bonus)
- Margin and Free Margin
These metrics are essential for evaluating your trading results and risk exposure.
Can You Close Trades at Once in MT4?
While there’s no built-in MT4 close all button, you can use scripts or expert advisors to close all positions in MT4 with one click. Similarly, if you’re wondering how to close half position in MT4, you can manually modify the order volume when closing the trade.
