GETTING STARTED
To use the program you first need to copy the Notion template into your Notion workspace. Please find the Notion Journal Template link below:
Notion Template
If you are using MT5 you can select 'Create Template' to automatically create the columns. Only the 'Outcome' column is not created as the type is not supported by Notion API. You will have to create this yourself with the property type 'Select'. The columns will be arranged A-Z so you will need to arrange them how you want.
MetaTrader Setup
- In MetaTrader go to Tools > Options > Expert Advisor Tab and tick 'Allow Web Request for listed URLs'

FAQ
Why can't I send pending and current open trades in MT4 version?
MT4 does not support the ability to do this only MT5 does. It is a limitation of the older platform.
Trades are failing to send
Check the following:
- Integration has the correct permissions to the database
- API Secret Key is correct
- Database ID is correct
- Notion URL is added to the web request allow list in MetaTrader
- You have ALL the columns you are trying to send and they are the correct type. Any mismatch will result in failure
