From 2e05cee497b0704a170fe17a345acc432b5ebade Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ghwmelite-dotcom Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 22:14:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs(downloads): add TradeJournal Sync EA setup guide + fix escaped punctuation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The Downloads setup guide covered the Master and Follower EAs but never documented the TradeJournal Sync EA. Add a dedicated step for it and fix a pre-existing rendering bug in the same guide. - New "Step 6: Install & Configure TradeJournal Sync EA": framed as independent of copy-trading (attach to any account, standalone, one chart per account), with a parameter table for the EA's real inputs (API_Key, API_Secret, API_Endpoint, AccountID, SyncIntervalSeconds, HeartbeatIntervalMs) and a required-fields / WebRequest note. - Renumber Verify Connection to Step 7 and split it into Master/Follower (green-dot panel) vs TradeJournal Sync (no panel -> [Journal] heartbeat log lines + dashboard Journal). - Fix literal — / → escapes that JSX rendered verbatim on the live page (Step 2 arrows, verify em-dash); use HTML entities (—, →) matching the convention already used elsewhere in the file.

    + The TradeJournal Sync EA is independent of copy trading — attach it to any MT5 account (run it standalone; no master or follower needed). It captures every trade on that account — in real time, plus a one-time history catch-up — and streams them to your dashboard Journal. +

    +
    + +

    + Install it exactly like the other EAs (TradeJournal_Sync.mq5 plus the same Include files from Step 3), then compile and drag it onto one chart per account. A single instance captures the whole account — you do not need it on every symbol. +

    + +

    Set the following input parameters when attaching the EA:

    HeartbeatIntervalMsConnection heartbeat interval (ms)30000
    +
    + +

    + API_Key, API_Secret, and AccountID are required — the EA refuses to start without them. Make sure the edgerelay-journal-sync URL from Step 2 is whitelisted under WebRequest. +
