MetaTrader 5
Full trade history export from MT5 History tab
MetaTrader 5 exports a full account history report that includes deals, orders, and positions. The Composure parser reads deal-level records to match entries and exits accurately.

Important notes
- MT5 stores data as deals (individual buy/sell executions). The importer matches deals into trades automatically.
- Netting-mode accounts (common with some brokers) may produce different deal structures — contact support if imports look incorrect.
- English language terminal is required for the column header matching to work correctly.
- Hedging-mode accounts are fully supported and generate one trade per position pair.
