How can I get a trading statement/history of my trading account?

With your MetaTrader trading platform, you can save and publish trading reports quickly and easily.

In order to get the report, please follow these simple steps:

Go to the Toolbox (for MetaTrader 5) or Terminal (for MetaTrader 4) window in the lower part of the screen - or activate it from the main menu: View – Toolbox/Terminal (fast access via CTRL+T) and select the „History“ tab.

Now you need to select the desired date range and export your report. Right-click anywhere on the history list and select the option „Custom Period"

Input the desired dates (from the 1st of January to the 31st of December of the previous year for tax purposes) and click OK to confirm your selection.

Again, right-click anywhere on the history list and select the option „Report“. Here you have the option to export your trading history in HTML format (default) for MetaTrader 4 and 5. Additionally, in MT5 you can export your history in XML format.

After selecting your report format, a new window opens. Here you can specify the file name and the file destination on your computer where you want your report to be saved. Click Save when ready.

Open your saved report. At the bottom of the report, you will find your account's report summary that shows the overall profit amount of the selected data range (last year as input earlier). The net profit is the amount that can be provided for tax purposes as a capital gain declaration from the selected trading account.

N.B.: In case you had more than one active account in the previous year, please repeat this procedure for every account. If you closed some accounts and can't access your reports anymore, feel free to contact our Customer Service.
