Match-Trader Analytics: Check Exports, Costs and Data Coverage
A Match-Trader analytics review starts by identifying the report you have: a closed-position export, a broader account statement or another provider record. Those sources can cover different events. Check their contents before calculating performance or sending a report to someone else.
MyVeridex does not currently offer a Match-Trader connection. A Match-Trader HTML file is not automatically a supported MyVeridex statement merely because the importer also accepts some HTML files.
Obtain the right source report
Match-Trader's August 2024 release notes document a full-account-history HTML export. Its September 2023 release notes separately describe closed-position exports in CSV and HTML. Confirm the options actually available with your broker or prop firm; a release note does not establish that every provider exposes the same interface or history.
Keep the original file and record the account, provider, environment, currency, requested period and retrieval time. Do not treat a file containing only closed positions as a record of every order, ledger movement or equity observation.
Inspect report coverage before calculating
| Check | What to establish | If it is missing |
|---|---|---|
| Reporting boundary | Start/end timestamps, time zone and whether the report covers the requested interval. | Ask the provider for the missing interval; disclose the gap. |
| Transaction identity | Available position/deal identifiers, instrument, direction and quantity. | Do not invent identifiers or assume that repeated-looking rows are duplicates. |
| Result and costs | Whether the result is gross or net and where commission/financing is booked. | Label costs as unknown instead of claiming a net result. |
| Account movements | Deposits, withdrawals, corrections and other non-trading entries where provided. | Do not explain every balance change as trading profit or loss. |
| Open positions and equity | Which open-position values and timestamps are actually recorded. | Do not reconstruct a complete intratrade equity path from closed rows. |
These are fields to inspect, not a promise that each is present in every export. Preserve the provider's descriptions for entries you cannot classify. Request clarification before assigning an unexplained adjustment to profit, commission or a cash movement.
Build a reproducible account review
- Retain the original: make calculations in a separate working copy and record any transformations.
- Reconcile the period: compare available transaction identifiers and whole-period totals with the provider's account history.
- Count consistently: disclose whether rows represent positions, deals or partial closes. Keep genuine separate executions separate.
- Account for charges once: if net results already include costs, do not deduct those costs again.
- Disclose scope: identify missing transactions, unsupported fields and assumptions alongside the resulting statistics.
A reconciliation difference is a finding to investigate. Selecting the more favourable of two totals or deleting unexplained rows does not resolve it.
Use metrics on a stated basis
Report the number of closed records, total booked result and the cost basis before interpreting ratios. The mean result per closed record describes the observed sample; it is not a promise of what the next trade will earn. Win rate needs the distribution and size of losses alongside it.
Profit factor compares winning results with the absolute losing results on the same basis. A zero loss denominator makes the ratio undefined. No universal profit-factor, Sharpe or history-duration threshold certifies an account or strategy.
Keep balance and equity drawdown separate and state observation frequency. A closed-position export cannot establish every floating loss. The provider's own daily-loss calculation may use different reset times, costs and reference levels, so a generic analytics report is not a compliance certificate.
Check a service's actual support before connecting
Confirm the platform, account-provider support, documented authorisation route, permissions and file schema with the service. Do not copy MetaTrader investor-password instructions into a Match-Trader connection process or assume an application is read-only because it is described as analytics.
MyVeridex currently offers MT4 and MT5 connections using a read-only investor password, plus supported MT4/MT5 closed-trade imports in HTML, XLSX and CSV formats. Match-Trader, cTrader, DXtrade and TradeLocker connections are not currently offered. Its closed-trade import reconstruction derives balance history and cannot recover the complete historical floating-equity path.
An organised report can show what records were reviewed and how results were calculated. It does not become independently audited or immutable, establish repeatable profitability, guarantee an evaluation result or entitle a trader to funding. Confirm what the recipient actually requires and state the report's gaps.
Frequently asked questions
Are a closed-position export and a full account statement interchangeable?
No. Check the contents of the actual file. Closed-position records may omit open positions, ledger movements and equity observations that a broader account review requires.
Does an HTML export automatically work with MyVeridex?
No. File extension alone does not establish schema compatibility. MyVeridex currently imports supported MT4/MT5 closed-trade statements; it does not promise compatibility with every Match-Trader HTML export.
Can I connect Match-Trader using a MyVeridex investor-password form?
No. Match-Trader connections are not currently offered by MyVeridex. Its current account connections are MT4 and MT5. Use only a service's documented route for the platform it actually supports.
Does the report certify a prop-firm result or complete equity history?
No. A report depends on its records and calculation basis. Closed positions cannot recover every floating loss, and an analytics report does not independently audit the account or guarantee compliance, funding or future results.
