Connect any MetaTrader account via MetaApi. Trades import automatically. Live balance syncs in real time. Then: Walk-Forward Analysis, Monte Carlo, SQN, Kelly Criterion, and a structured Post Mortem — all from one platform.
SignalDeck uses MetaApi's cloud connector to link your MT4 or MT5 account. No software to install — just enter your broker server, account number, and password in SignalDeck, and the connection is established via MetaApi's secure cloud infrastructure.
MetaApi's history-deals endpoint returns fills only — not order-level data.
history-deals endpoint returns fills only — not order-level SL/TP. This is a MetaApi API limitation, not a SignalDeck limitation. Enter your intended stop loss after import to enable R-Multiple calculation.Most MT4 journals stop at logging. SignalDeck starts there and builds the full analytics stack.
Every trade's return normalized to initial risk. Expectancy, SQN, Kelly Criterion, and equity curves all flow from a single coherent R-based framework.
80% in-sample / 20% out-of-sample split. Pass or Likely Overfitted verdict. Know whether your strategy works or is curve-fitted to the past.
1,000-path block bootstrap resampling. Worst-case drawdown at the 5th percentile. Know what your strategy risks in bad-luck sequences before it costs real capital.
SQN = √N × Mean R / StdDev R. Tells you whether your edge is statistically significant or noise. Below 1.6 = poor. 2.0–3.0 = good. Above 3.0 = excellent.
Kelly is derived from your live R-data and your current account balance from MetaApi. After a drawdown, your sizing recommendation adjusts immediately — not after you remember to update it.
Setup Diagnosis → Management Diagnosis → Verdict → Training Gap → Mentor Feedback. Built into every closed trade. Forces process-level review rather than P&L-level reaction.
Enter tickers exactly as your broker displays them. SignalDeck routes each to the correct price feed automatically.
SignalDeck supports MT4 and MT5 import via MetaApi. Connect any MT4/MT5 broker account and trades import automatically — fills, P&L, symbol, volume, and execution price. Live account balance syncs in real time for accurate Kelly Criterion sizing. Stop loss requires manual entry after import for R-Multiple calculation, as MetaApi fills don't carry order-level SL/TP data.
No — and this applies to all MT4/MT5 import tools. MetaApi's history-deals endpoint returns fills only, not order-level SL/TP. Stop loss must be entered manually for R-Multiple calculation. Every other tool importing MT4/MT5 trades has the same constraint — it's an API limitation of how MetaTrader exposes deal history.
Live balance sync pulls your real-time balance, equity, margin, and leverage from MetaApi's account-information endpoint. Kelly Criterion and fixed-R sizing recommendations are only accurate if they use your current equity — not a stale manual entry. After a drawdown on a funded account, your balance drops and your position size should adjust immediately. No other trading journal that imports MT4/MT5 trades also syncs your live balance.
Any broker that runs a MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 server — which covers the vast majority of forex, CFD, and prop firm brokers worldwide including FTMO, IC Markets, Pepperstone, Exness, ThinkMarkets, MyFundedFX, The5ers, Apex, and thousands of others. Connection is via MetaApi's cloud connector, which handles compatibility with both MT4 and MT5 server versions.
For MT4/MT5 traders who want deep analytics, SignalDeck is the strongest option: MT4/MT5 import + live balance sync + Walk-Forward Analysis + Monte Carlo + SQN + Kelly + R-value framework + structured Post Mortem — all free during beta. For traders who need broad broker coverage across 700+ non-MT4/MT5 brokers, TraderSync leads on import breadth but lacks Walk-Forward Analysis, Monte Carlo, and the R-value framework.
Yes — it's particularly well-suited for prop firm MT5 accounts. The R-value framework naturally enforces prop firm risk discipline. Live balance sync means Kelly sizing uses current funded equity. Walk-Forward Analysis lets you validate edge before paying for a challenge. Native support for NAS100, XAUUSD, GER40, US500, and forex covers the instruments most prop firm challenges trade.
