Download the Logify EA and install it in MetaTrader 5. The file is a standard .mq5 Expert Advisor — no third-party software, no subscription.

Download LogifyEA.mq5
Step-by-step installation
1
Download the EA
Click the download button above. You'll download the file LogifyEA.mq5 — this is the Expert Advisor that sends trades to Logify.
The file is a source code file (.mq5). MetaTrader automatically compiles it into an executable (.ex5) when you open it.
2
Open the MT5 data folder
Open MetaTrader 5. In the menu go to File → Open Data Folder. A Windows Explorer window will open.
File → Open Data Folder
Navigate inside that folder to:
MQL5 → Experts
This is the standard folder where MT5 expects all Expert Advisors. Any EA you place here will automatically appear in MT5.
3
Copy the EA file
Copy LogifyEA.mq5 from your Downloads folder to the MQL5/Experts folder you just opened.
You can simply drag the file from your Downloads folder into the MT5 Explorer window.
4
Restart MetaTrader 5
Close MT5 completely and reopen it. After restarting, LogifyEA will appear in the Navigator panel under Expert Advisors.
Navigator → Expert Advisors → LogifyEA
Don't see it? Right-click Expert Advisors in the Navigator and choose Refresh. If the file hasn't compiled yet, double-click LogifyEA.mq5 — MetaEditor will open and compile it automatically.
5
Get your API Key from Logify
Log into Logify and go to Settings → MT5 Connection. Copy your personal API Key — you'll need it in the next step.
Logify → Settings → MT5 Connection → Copy API Key
The API Key is unique to your account. Never share it — anyone with this key can send trades to your journal.
6
Drag the EA onto a chart
Drag LogifyEA from the Navigator onto an open chart in MT5. The instrument or timeframe doesn't matter — the EA listens to all closed trades on your account.
A settings window will open. Fill in your copied key next to ApiKey:
ApiKey       →   [paste your API Key here]
WebhookUrl →   https://getlogify.io/api/mt5-import
DebugMode   →   false (set to true for testing)
Leave WebhookUrl at the default value. Then click OK.
7
Enable AutoTrading
Make sure the AutoTrading button in the MT5 toolbar is green. Without AutoTrading, EAs cannot perform any actions — including sending data.
Toolbar → AutoTrading button (green = on)
⚠️ If AutoTrading is off, Logify won't receive any trades. This is the most common cause when it doesn't work.
8
Allow WebRequest in MT5
This is a required security step in MT5. Go to Tools → Options → Expert Advisors.
Tools → Options → Expert Advisors
Check: Allow WebRequest for listed URL
Add: https://getlogify.io
⚠️ Without this step, MT5 blocks all outgoing connections from the EA. Trades won't reach Logify.
9
Test the connection
Close a trade in MT5 (or use a demo account). Then go to Logify and check your Dashboard — the trade should appear within a few seconds.
Want to test without closing a real trade? Set DebugMode to true in the EA settings — you'll see messages in MT5's Experts tab.
MT5 → Toolbox → Experts (tab at the bottom)
You'll see messages like: Logify: trade 12345678 (EURUSD) sent successfully. P&L: 142.50
Frequently asked questions
Which brokers are supported?
All brokers that support MetaTrader 5. This includes virtually all prop firms: Funding Pips, FTMO, The Funded Trader, E8 Funding, MyForexFunds and hundreds of retail brokers. The EA works with all instruments: Forex, indices (GER40, US30), commodities and more.
Can the EA place or modify trades?
No. The Logify EA is read-only — it only reads closed trades and sends them to Logify. The EA has no access to your password or investor credentials and cannot place, modify, or cancel orders. Your trading remains entirely in your hands.
What happens if my internet goes down during a trade?
If MT5 is offline when a trade closes, the trade won't be sent. You can then add the trade manually in Logify, or import it via CSV export from MT5. We recommend running the EA on a VPS if you want 24/7 automatic import.
Are historical trades also imported?
The EA only imports trades that close after the EA is active. For historical trades, use the CSV import in Logify: go to New trade → Import CSV and upload your MT5 history export.
The EA is on the chart but I don't see trades in Logify. What now?
Check in this order: 1) Is AutoTrading green in the toolbar? 2) Is WebRequest allowed for https://getlogify.io in Tools → Options → Expert Advisors? 3) Is the API Key entered correctly with no spaces? 4) Check the Experts tab in MT5 for error messages. Set DebugMode to true for more info.
Does the EA work on MT4?
No, the current version is for MetaTrader 5 only. An MT4 version is in development. For now, use the CSV import or add trades manually for MT4.
