Summary: Check MT4 account history on mobile and analyze trading performance. This guide shows how to export data, calculate monthly returns, and build an equity curve.




Step 1: Open MT4 Mobile App and Log In
Launch the MT4 mobile app on iOS or Android. Tap the menu icon (top left) and select "Manage Accounts" then "Login to Trading Account". Enter your account number, password, and server. Screenshot: login screen with fields.
Step 2: Navigate to Account History
From the main screen, tap the "History" tab at the bottom (clock icon). You will see a list of closed trades. By default, it shows today's history. Screenshot: bottom navigation with History tab highlighted.
Step 3: Adjust Date Range
Tap the calendar icon or the filter icon (top right). Select a custom period, e.g., "Last Month", "This Year", or set specific dates. Tap "OK" to refresh the list. Screenshot: date range picker interface.
Step 4: View Key Performance Metrics
Scroll to the top of the History list. MT4 mobile shows: total profit, gross profit, gross loss, and total trades. Tap the chart icon if available to see a simple balance graph. Screenshot: top of History screen with metrics.
Step 5: Export History to PC for Advanced Analysis
On mobile, tap the share/export icon (often three dots or share symbol). Choose "Send by Email" and send the history file (CSV format) to your PC. Screenshot: export menu with email option.
Step 6: Open CSV in Excel or Google Sheets
Open the email attachment on PC. The CSV contains columns: ticket, open time, type, size, symbol, price, S/L, T/P, close time, commission, swap, profit. Screenshot: CSV opened in Excel.
Step 7: Build Equity Curve
In Excel, add a column "Balance" starting from initial deposit. For each trade, Balance = previous balance + profit. Then create a line chart with "Close Time" on X-axis and "Balance" on Y-axis. Screenshot: line chart showing equity curve.
Step 8: Calculate Monthly Returns
Add a "Month" column using =TEXT(close_time,"YYYY-MM"). Use PivotTable to sum profits by month. Then calculate monthly return % = (monthly profit / previous month-end balance) * 100. Screenshot: PivotTable result.
Step 9: Identify Problematic Periods
Look at the equity curve for large drawdowns. Right-click on the chart, select "Format Data Point" to highlight losing streaks. Screenshot: equity curve with losing segment highlighted.
Step 10: Save and Compare
Save the Excel file as "MT4_History_EquityCurve.xlsx". Repeat weekly to track performance changes. Compare curves before and after adjusting your EA settings. Screenshot: two overlaid equity curves.
