TraderInsight.pro syncs Vantage MetaTrader 5 trades and costs automatically: fills across [forex](https://traderinsight.pro/assets/forex), [stocks](https://traderinsight.pro/assets/stocks), [crypto](https://traderinsight.pro/assets/crypto), and more arrive in seconds, along with the fees your server reports. That lets you answer a question the MT5 history tab cannot: after commissions, is your Raw account beating your Standard account? ## Which Vantage account makes you more money? TraderInsight.pro can tell you. Connect your Raw and Standard logins and compare them side by side, with commissions and fees included through [cash reporting](https://traderinsight.pro/features/cash-reporting). That matters because costs hit every trade. Knowing which account keeps more of your profit puts money back in your account without changing how you trade. On top of that you get the full journal on every Vantage trade: [tags](https://traderinsight.pro/features/tags), [reports](https://traderinsight.pro/features/reports), the [calendar](https://traderinsight.pro/features/calendar), and [AI](https://traderinsight.pro/features/ai). Find your best session, your best market, and the habits to drop. What you measure you can improve, and with fees in the picture you are measuring what you actually keep. ## Which Vantage trades and events does TraderInsight.pro sync? Every filled Vantage order on your MT5 account syncs, including [forex](https://traderinsight.pro/assets/forex) pairs, [stock](https://traderinsight.pro/assets/stocks) CFDs, [crypto](https://traderinsight.pro/assets/crypto) CFDs, other instruments your Vantage server exposes, and more. Cash events such as deposits, withdrawals, fees, and dividends sync too where your server reports them, and [cash reporting](https://traderinsight.pro/features/cash-reporting) keeps those costs next to your trade P&L. ## How do I connect Vantage MT5 to TraderInsight.pro? Install the TraderInsight.pro connector service in the MetaTrader 5 terminal you use for Vantage, paste your API key, and fills sync in seconds with no file export. Use the MT5 login and server from your Vantage account. If you run both a Raw and a Standard login, connect each one so you can compare them. 1. Download the connector. In your journal, open Settings, then Data Sources, and download the TraderInsight.pro MT5 connector. 2. Allow WebRequest in MT5. In MetaTrader 5 open Tools, Options, Expert Advisors, and under "Allow WebRequest for listed URLs" add https://app.traderinsight.pro. 3. Install the connector file. In MT5 choose File, Open Data Folder, then MQL5, Services, and paste the downloaded file there. 4. Enter your API key. Refresh the Navigator panel, open the connector service, go to Inputs, and paste the key (format mt5_XXX) from Settings, Data Sources. Click OK. 5. Verify the connection. Test it from the Data Sources page. Your Vantage trades and events, including past ones, then sync in the background with no further action. Screenshots and the macOS Wine shortcut are in the full [MT5 import guide](https://traderinsight.pro/blog/mt5). ## How to use your Vantage data to improve your trading ### How to compare Vantage Raw and Standard accounts after costs Connect both logins and filter [reports](https://traderinsight.pro/features/reports) by account. [Cash reporting](https://traderinsight.pro/features/cash-reporting) keeps commissions and fees next to trade P&L, so you compare what you actually kept. ### How to find the Vantage session that pays Tag London, New York, and the overlap. [Reports](https://traderinsight.pro/features/reports) and the [calendar](https://traderinsight.pro/features/calendar) show the window that earns and the one that only costs you spread. ### How to compare Vantage forex with stock CFD swings Use the [comparison report](https://traderinsight.pro/features/compare) on market type so a stock CFD winner does not credit a quiet forex week. ## What can you ask AI about your Vantage trades? You can ask plain English questions and get answers drawn from your own Vantage history. [AI analysis](https://traderinsight.pro/features/ai) handles prompts like "What is my net P&L after fees on my Vantage Raw account versus Standard?", "Which session has my best R:R?", "How much of my gross profit goes to commissions?". ![Ask AI about your Vantage trades in TraderInsight.pro](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/pbpu5thy/production/36d8059fbe9a85046428a161804d1ab58599f7f7-3164x2070.png) ## Can I review my Vantage journal on mobile?
