How to Export Trade History from cTrader (Statement)

To export your trade history from cTrader, open the History tab, set the date range and account, then click Statement and choose XLSX or HTML from the arrow beside it. Before you export, right-click the column headings to make sure every trade detail column is ticked, and set cTrader's language to English, because journals recognise the file by its English column names. The statement gives one row per closed position, with commission, swap and net P&L in your account currency.

Several forex and CFD prop firms offer cTrader, including FTMO, The5ers, FundingPips, Goat Funded Trader and For Traders, as listed in October 2026. Platforms vary by firm and account type, so check yours.

#How to export a cTrader statement on desktop (step by step)

1. Open cTrader Desktop and log in with your cTrader ID.
2. Choose the account from the account selector, if you have more than one.
3. Click the History tab at the bottom of the platform.
4. Set the date range with the date picker at the top of the History panel, or choose all history.
5. Choose the columns. Right-click the column headings and tick every trade detail column. Only ticked columns are exported.
6. Click Statement in the top-right of the History panel, then use the arrow beside it to pick XLSX or HTML.
7. Save the file, named by account and dates.

These steps follow broker and journal help pages rather than a single official guide, and cTrader's layout varies a little between brokers' builds. If yours differs, check your broker's or firm's help centre.

#How to export on cTrader Web

1. Log in at your broker's cTrader Web address.
2. Click History in the left-hand menu.
3. Set the dates and account with the filters at the top.
4. Click Statement.

cTrader staff have said the web version offers an HTML statement, and a later reply said some export options are only on desktop. If you need XLSX, or the button isn't there, use cTrader Desktop. Copy-trading accounts have also been reported to offer an HTML statement only.

#Set cTrader to English first

The statement's column names follow the platform's language. A journal that expects Opening Time won't recognise the same column in another language. Switch cTrader to English (cTrader's help centre explains how to change language for your cTrader ID), export, then switch back if you like.

#What's in the cTrader statement?

One row per closed position. With all columns ticked, expect:

Column	What it holds
Opening Time, Closing Time	When the position opened and closed
Symbol	For example EURUSD or XAUUSD
Opening Direction	Buy or Sell
Closing Direction	The opposite side, on the exit
Entry Price, Closing Price	Average entry and exit
Closing Quantity	The size closed
Order ID	The ID that identifies the position's order
Commission, Swap	Costs, usually written as negatives
Gross USD, Net USD	P&L before and after costs, in your account currency

The P&L headers carry your account's currency code, so an account in euros shows Gross EUR and Net EUR. Net already includes commission and swap; don't subtract them twice.

A position closed in parts can appear as more than one row, each with its own closing quantity.

#Time zone

cTrader shows times in the time zone set in the platform, which isn't necessarily UK time. Before you import, compare one trade's opening time in the file with when you remember taking it, and tell your journal the zone the file is in. Get this wrong and your time-of-day stats will be off by hours.

#Why the stop isn't in the statement

The statement gives what happened, not what you planned. It doesn't hold your initial stop, so it can't give an R multiple on its own. Add your initial stop in your journal, or a fixed risk per trade, so each trade can be measured against what you risked.

#How to import a cTrader statement into a journal

1. Upload the XLSX or HTML file as saved. Don't copy it into another spreadsheet first.
2. Choose the account. Keep each prop-firm account separate; see tracking multiple prop firm accounts.
3. Set the time zone you checked above.
4. Check two or three trades against cTrader, including the net P&L.
5. Add your stop, setup and notes.

Marble reads the cTrader statement in XLSX or HTML. It picks up the account currency from the Net column's name, keeps commission and swap with each trade, and skips trades it already has, so overlapping exports are safe.

Some journals can also connect to cTrader directly through its Open API, where you approve access on cTrader's own sign-in page. A file export is enough to get started either way.

#Troubleshooting

• The journal doesn't recognise the file. It was exported in another language, or some columns weren't ticked. Switch to English, tick all columns and export again.
• P&L is double-counted on costs. The journal subtracted commission and swap from a net figure. Use gross minus costs, or net on its own.
• Prices or balances look like text. Older forum reports mention thousands separators causing this. Upload the file untouched rather than re-saving it.
• Trades are missing. Widen the date range, and check the right account is selected.
