MT5 TRADES→IMPORT OR SYNC→PULSE JOURNAL→STRUCTURED REVIEW
CHOOSE YOUR MT5 JOURNAL
Look beyond a list of closed trades.
The right MT5 trade journal software should fit the way you get trades in, measure results and review decisions. Start with these four essentials when choosing your journal.
Results in context
Look at equity and drawdown alongside results measured in R, percentage and money.
Keep accounts clear
Separate accounts and distinguish live trades from backtests before comparing performance.
Record the decisions
Use setups, rules and reviews to understand the process behind a winning or losing trade.
BTI PULSE
Your MT5 history, ready for a proper review.
PULSE brings journal entries and performance views together. Move from an account-level overview to the trading decisions you want to review without rebuilding your analysis in a spreadsheet.
Equity & drawdown
Review how account performance develops over time, including the periods below a previous peak.
R · % · Money
Review results in the units that make sense for your trading and risk.
Trading calendar
See the distribution of results across trading days and periods.
Multiple accounts
Organize different trading accounts inside one performance center.
Live vs. backtest
Keep historical testing separate from trades executed in a live market.
Rules & reviews
Review whether your execution matched the plan, beyond the final profit or loss.
GET YOUR TRADES INTO PULSE
Import your history.
Or connect your MT5 workflow.
Choose the entry method that fits your account and the data you already have. PULSE can be used without CONNECT.
Start with a few trades
Add trades manually when you want to build your journal gradually or capture a trade that is not available in a supported import format.
Bring existing records
Use supported CSV, Excel or AI-assisted screenshot imports. The current Founder plans include four AI-assisted imports per month.
Connect execution and review
Add CONNECT for the MT5-side position sizing, manual execution and synchronization workflow.
Explore CONNECT →Import support depends on your source format; not every MT5 export variation is supported. Confirm CONNECT compatibility for your MT5 environment with BTI.
OPTIONAL MT5 COMPANION
Need more than a journal? Add CONNECT.
PULSE is where you journal and review. CONNECT works on the execution side: define risk, calculate position size and bring relevant MT5 trade data into PULSE.
Risk-based position sizing
Use your defined risk, account and symbol information to help calculate lot size.
Entry, stop & target
Plan a manual trade before execution.
Trade synchronization
Connect your MT5 execution workflow to the PULSE journal.
You remain in control
CONNECT does not select trades or make autonomous trading decisions.
WHICH SETUP FITS YOU?
PULSE alone or PULSE + CONNECT?
Both options include the journal. The difference is how closely you want to connect it to your MT5 execution.
Choose PULSE if…
- You want to journal existing trading history.
- You prefer manual entry or supported imports.
- Your priority is performance, account organization and reviews.
- You already have an execution routine you want to keep.
Add CONNECT if…
- You trade manually in MetaTrader 5.
- You want help with risk-based position sizing.
- You want an entry, stop and target workflow.
- You want MT5 trade synchronization into PULSE.

Choosing journal software for MT5?
What is MT5 trade journal software?
MT5 trade journal software organizes trades from MetaTrader 5 for review. A useful journal brings trading results together with risk, setups and notes so you can assess how you traded, as well as the outcome.
Can I use BTI PULSE without CONNECT?
Yes. PULSE can be used on its own with manual trade entry or supported imports. CONNECT is the optional MT5 companion for position sizing, manual execution and trade synchronization.
Does PULSE automatically import every MT5 trade?
Do not assume automatic synchronization is included with PULSE alone. CONNECT provides the MT5 synchronization workflow. Existing trade history can also be added through supported imports or manual entry. Confirm compatibility for your account and source format with BTI.
Can I bring an existing spreadsheet into PULSE?
PULSE supports CSV and Excel import workflows. Compatibility depends on the structure of your file. Check a representative sample, including timestamps, prices, position sizes and trading costs, before relying on the imported results.
Can I journal more than one trading account?
Yes. PULSE supports multiple accounts. It also separates live trading from backtesting so that you can review each in its own context.
How much does BTI MT5 journaling cost?
See the current plans and prices in the main BTI pricing section.
Does BTI replace MetaTrader 5 or trade for me?
No. MetaTrader 5 remains your trading platform. PULSE is the journal and review software. CONNECT supports a manual MT5 workflow and does not choose trades for you or guarantee trading results.
