Start here, step 2: link your trading account or import a statement

Link your MT5 or MT4 account read-only with the investor password, and your past trades fill the journal by themselves. No account to link? Import a statement file instead.

Step 2 of 64 min readUpdated Sep 30, 2026

FxMind needs your trades to do anything useful. There are two ways to give it to them. This is step 2 of 6.

  1. Open Accounts and press Link an account.
  2. Pick your platform, MT5 or MT4, and keep Read-only selected. Read-only uses the investor password, a view-only password: nobody who holds it can open, close or move a trade.
  3. Type the Login (the account number, digits only), the Investor password and the Server exactly as your platform shows it, for example FTMO-Server3. Pick the server from the list.
  4. Optional: give it a Label you will recognise, like FTMO 100k.
  5. Press Check and link. It takes 3 to 6 seconds.

Do not have the investor password? Find or reset it in a minute. The full walk-through is in Link an MT5 or MT4 account.

What happens next

The account shows syncing, then live. FxMind reads your history from the broker, so your past trades arrive in the Journal without typing anything. How far back it goes depends on your broker. A brand new account has no history, and an empty journal is then correct.

Way 2: no account to link? Import a file

If you trade on a platform FxMind cannot link, or you only have a statement from your broker, open Journal, go to Import, and upload a CSV, an XLSX file, or an MT5 report or MT4 statement. A preview shows how many trades are new before anything is saved, and every import can be undone in one click. Details.
