MT4 Expert Advisor – Daily Trade Log Export to CSV

MQL5 Experts

Specification

Project Summary
I’m looking for an experienced MQL4 developer to build a simple, efficient Expert Advisor (EA) that exports all closed trades from the current MT4 account once daily to a CSV file, with a specific filename format and field structure. This EA will be used in a live trading environment and must be stable and low-maintenance.  I’m happy to pay fairly for someone who delivers clean, reliable work.


Platform

  • MT4 (MetaTrader 4)

  • Broker Timezone: GMT+2 (Pepperstone UK)


Key Requirements

  1. One-Time Daily Export

    • Automatically exports all closed trades of the current day at 23:58 server time (GMT+2).

    • The EA must detect the date internally (no input required).

    • Must only export once per day to avoid duplicates, even after VPS restarts.

  2. File Format

    • Output as .CSV file with the following naming convention:
      YYYYMMDD.csv (e.g., 20250421.csv )

    • Files saved in: C:\TradingLogs\TradeHistory

  3. Fields to Export

    • Ticket number

    • Magic number

    • Comment

    • Symbol

    • Order type (Buy/Sell)

    • Lot size

    • Open time (yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm)

    • Open price

    • Close time (yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm)

    • Close price

    • Stop loss

    • Take profit

    • Commission

    • Swap

    • Profit

    • Duration in minutes (difference between open and close)

  4. Operation

    • Attach EA to any chart. It must remain active but execute silently.

    • No user interaction or GUI needed.

    • Log or file error only if the export fails.

    • Works on any account type (including hedging accounts with multiple positions open on the same symbol)


Additional Notes

  • The EA should not remove itself from the chart after execution.

  • Should handle VPS reboots or MT4 restarts without re-exporting the same day.

  • No external libraries should be used—keep it native and robust.


Deliverables

  • Fully commented .mq4 source code

  • Compiled .ex4 file

  • 1-2 rounds of revisions if needed after initial testing

Budget

  • Please provide your fixed price quote.

  • If you already have a similar module, feel free to leverage it.
