How do I retrieve my journal logs?

Please follow the steps below to retrieve your journal logs:

1. Start your MetaTrader 4 or 5 terminal.

2. Go to: [Files] -> [Open Data Folder] (or combination of left [ALT]+[F] keys and then [D] key).

3. A new window should open. That is your MT4 Data Folder. Inside that folder you will see a folder called [logs] where the log files from your MT4 Journals tab will be located.

4. If you also want to check logs from EAs then you have to go to the [MQL4] folder and then open the folder [Logs] - inside that folder you will see all log files from your MT4 Experts tab.
