Questions traders ask before they start

Orderblock is a trading journal and analytics workspace. It brings in your trades from your broker, shows you exactly where you make and lose money, keeps your journal notes on the trades they belong to, and has an AI coach that answers questions about your own trading. It covers forex, CFDs, stocks, options and futures.

Traders who want to know what their trading is actually doing: forex and CFD traders on MetaTrader, prop firm and funded traders running several accounts, and stock, options and futures traders at the brokers we connect to. If you journal in a spreadsheet today, Orderblock replaces the typing and keeps the numbers right.

Most people are done in about ten minutes. Create your account, connect MetaTrader with the login you already use, and your full history is usually imported within a few minutes. From then on new trades appear by themselves.

No. Orderblock runs in your browser on desktop, tablet and phone. For MetaTrader we run the terminal for you on our servers, so there is no plug-in to install, no VPS to rent and no computer that has to stay switched on. Trades keep arriving while you sleep.

Yes. The demo workspace is filled with sample trades, so you can open every view, the journal and the analytics before you sign up. You can also connect a broker demo account first and move to your live account when you are ready.

Orderblock is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Thai. It picks your language automatically and you can change it any time with the globe button. The AI coach answers in your language too.

Very likely. MetaTrader 4 and 5 accounts connect live at any broker. OANDA, Interactive Brokers, Tradovate, Alpaca and Tradier sync automatically. Every other broker that lets you export closed trades can be imported with guided statement import. The supported brokers page lists every broker and how it connects.

MetaTrader trades appear about a second after your broker reports them, and open positions and equity update while they are open. Automatic broker connections are checked about every 15 minutes. Statement imports appear as soon as you upload them.

Yes. When you connect MetaTrader, Orderblock imports your full history from the first trade on the account, usually within a few minutes. For other brokers, import a statement covering the period you want.

Most prop firm accounts run on MetaTrader and connect like any other MetaTrader account, with the login and server the firm gives you. Check your firm’s rules first: some only allow an investor login, and a few do not allow third-party platforms. If yours does not, import its statement instead. Elite’s unlimited accounts suit traders running several challenges at once.

Yes. Pro holds 50 trading accounts and Elite has no account limit. Each account keeps its own currency and history, and you switch between them in one click.

Import your trades from a statement today; any broker that exports closed trades works. Then tell us the broker, the platform and the account type through the contact form, and we will tell you exactly what is available.

Net P&L after fees, win rate, expectancy, profit factor, R-multiples, drawdown, a P&L calendar, results by instrument, session, weekday and hour, open positions and live equity, and a data explorer that lets you click into any number to see the trades behind it. Every metric’s formula is published in the metrics glossary.

Yes. Each account keeps its own currency, swap and commission are recorded separately from trading results, partial closes are not counted as separate trades, and days are grouped in UTC rather than your broker’s server time. Amounts keep your broker’s exact decimals.

It answers questions about your own trading in plain English, such as where your losses concentrate or whether you hold losers longer than winners. It reads your closed trades, open positions and journal, can point to the trades behind an answer and tells you when a sample is too small. It never predicts prices or gives trade signals.

A typical coach question uses about 5 to 30 credits, so Pro’s 2,000 credits a month cover roughly 65 to 400 questions, and Elite has 8,000. The trial includes 300. Credits renew at the start of every month, and if you ever run out, AI simply pauses until the next month: there are never overage charges.

Yes. The backtesting workspace replays market history candle by candle so you can practise and test a strategy, place simulated trades and save the results next to your real ones. It is included in both plans.

Agents watch your own account for the rules you care about, such as a daily loss limit, overtrading or skipped journal entries, and tell you when one is broken. Describe what you want in your own words, review the rules it suggests, and switch it on.
