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

<p className="text-sm text-slate-300">
Install it exactly like the other EAs (<span className="font-mono-nums text-neon-cyan">TradeJournal_Sync.mq5</span> plus the same Include files from Step 3), then compile and drag it onto <strong>one chart per account</strong>. A single instance captures the whole account &mdash; you do not need it on every symbol.
