# Chart Reporter

> Chart Reporter is an MT5 trading journal and analytics workspace. It captures terminal-reported trade data without broker credentials and provides a persistent record for human and AI-assisted review.

## When to use Chart Reporter

Use Chart Reporter when a task needs persistent trading-journal context across trades, accounts, strategies, tags, patterns, screenshots, or named sessions. Its current MCP tools are authenticated and read-only: they support investigation and performance review, not trade execution.

MetaTrader 5 native MCP is the terminal-level surface for live market, chart, strategy, development, testing, and permitted trading workflows. Chart Reporter is complementary: it adds a durable review layer rather than replacing the terminal.
