Built around MetaTrader 5 sync
MetaTrader 5 is where a lot of forex and CFD traders live, so Astro treats it as a first-class connection. Add your MT5 account once and Astro keeps the journal current for you, instead of asking you to export account history and clean it up by hand.
Each fill arrives with its entry, exit, size, and fees already in place, so the journal reflects what you actually traded. The connection runs server-side, which means sync keeps working in the background rather than depending on your terminal being open.
Forex sized in lots, the MT5 way
Astro records your MT5 forex trades in lots with the contract size that matches the symbol, so a EUR/USD position is valued the way it really traded, not flattened into shares. CFDs, metals, and indices come across the same way, each kept in the model that fits it.
Because MT5 exposes the account itself, Astro can also bring in account-level context like balance, equity, margin, and leverage, so the journal lines up with the state your broker actually shows.
Review your MT5 trades by pair, setup, and direction
Once your trades are in, group results by pair, direction, setup, and playbook to see what really shapes the account: whether majors suit you better than crosses, how one pair stacks up against another, and whether your shorts hold up as well as your longs.
Tag each trade with the setup behind it, gather related setups into playbooks, and keep totals correct across pairs that settle in different currencies.

Common questions.
How does Astro connect to MetaTrader 5?
You add your MT5 account details once, and Astro syncs your trades server-side. Broker connection is the premium surface; the core journal is free.
Does Astro place trades on my MT5 account?
No. Astro only reads your trade and account history to build the journal. It never places, changes, or cancels trades.
How are forex trades sized?
In lots with the contract size that matches the symbol, so your P&L reflects how the pair actually moved rather than a rough estimate.
Can I review my MT5 trades on my iPhone?
Yes. The web and iOS apps share one account and the same trades, so your pairs, setups, and notes are waiting in both places.
