Connect MetaTrader 4
The same recorder, built for MT4. MetaTrader 4 has no trade-transaction event, so the recorder re-checks every open order four times a second — fast enough that a stop move is timestamped to the moment you made it.
About 6 minutes, once.
What gets recorded
- + Every order opened, closed, reduced and increased
- + Every stop-loss and take-profit change, detected on a 250 ms scan
- + A heartbeat every 30 seconds proving the recorder is alive
What it cannot see
- – Anything that happens while the terminal is closed or the recorder is detached
- – A level changed and changed back inside the same quarter-second
Step by step
0 of 7 done
1.Add the account in TradeMirror
Connections → Add account → MetaTrader 4. The recorder is generated for this account with its own ingest token inside, so do not share the file.
Worked if: The new account appears in your list with a Set up button.
2.Download the recorder
In the setup panel, MetaTrader tab, press MetaTrader 4 (.mq4).
Direct download link
https://trademirror.pro/api/public/ea/YOUR_TOKEN?build=mq4Worked if: A file named TradeMirror.mq4 is in your downloads.
3.Put it in your terminal's data folder
In MetaTrader: File → Open Data Folder → MQL4 → Experts. Copy the .mq4 file in there.
Worked if: The file sits alongside the other .mq4 files in MQL4/Experts.
4.Compile it
Open it in MetaEditor and press F7.
Worked if: MetaEditor reports 0 errors.
5.Allow TradeMirror as a web address
Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → tick 'Allow WebRequest for listed URL' and add the address below exactly, with no trailing slash.
URL to add to the allowed list
https://trademirror.proWorked if: The address is listed in the box and the checkbox is ticked.
6.Attach it to one chart
Drag TradeMirror onto any chart and make sure the AutoTrading button is green. One chart records the whole account.
Worked if: A smiley face appears on the chart and the Experts tab prints a TradeMirror start line.
7.Check it is arriving
Move a stop on a demo order. The connection check below should turn green within a few seconds.
Worked if: Heartbeat seen in the last minute and at least one event recorded.

What a recorded trade looks like
Once the connection is live, a managed trade arrives as a sequence like this. The middle two rows are the point of the platform: without them there is a result but no record of how it was managed.
- 09:31:04Position openedLong 1.0 EURUSD at 1.0850, stop 1.0820, target 1.0930.
- 09:41:22Stop movedStop raised from 1.0820 to 1.0850 — recorded as a stop_modified event, not inferred.
- 10:02:47Partial close0.5 closed at 1.0889; 0.5 still open. Both the size before and after are stored.
- 10:26:10Position closedRemaining 0.5 closed at 1.0902, short of the 1.0930 target.
This is an illustrative example, not your data and not a suggestion about how to manage a position.
If something goes wrong
Nothing appears in TradeMirror.
Open the Experts tab at the bottom of the terminal. The recorder prints a line when it starts and when a WebRequest fails; that message names the problem.
I closed my laptop for an hour.
Nothing can be recorded while the connection is down. A heartbeat is sent every 30 seconds, so a gap is shown as a gap rather than filled in with a guess.
