Getting Started

InnovaDash is an analytics suite designed to turn raw MetaTrader data into actionable strategic insights. Built for traders who want to improve their trading by receiving advanced insights using InnovaDash. This documentation contains a set-up guide, explanation of over 50+ metrics and charts, and an explanation on how to customize your workspaces.

MetaTrader Sync (EA Setup)

Follow these steps to securely link your MT4/MT5 terminal to your InnovaDash environment using the Innova Connector Expert Advisor (EA).

1 Retrieve Secret Key

Navigate to the Account Settings (Person Icon) page in your dashboard. Under API Configuration, you will find your Secret Key. Click the copy icon to copy your unique identifier.

2 Terminal Configuration

In MetaTrader 4 or 5, go to Tools > Options > Expert Advisors. Check the box for "Allow WebRequest for listed URL" and add the following URL exactly:

https://innovadash.com

3 Attach & Sync

Drag the downloaded Innova Connector EA onto any active chart. In the EA inputs window, paste your Secret Key. Once the EA Status dot at the top left of your web dashboard turns Green, your data is live and syncing automatically.

Filters & Parameters

InnovaDash allows for hyper-granular filtering. Instead of a global filter that changes the whole page, every single widget and chart has its own independent filter.

How to Filter a Widget

Hover over the bottom-left corner of any widget to reveal the blue Tune/Filter Icon. Clicking this opens the widget configuration panel.

  • Date Range: Choose a specific lookback period (e.g., 7 Days, 30 Days, or Custom). The widget will recalculate its data instantly. Custom historical limits depend on your active plan.
  • Symbols: Isolate performance. Select specific pairs or tickers (e.g., EURUSD, US100) to see how a specific asset performs regarding that metric. Leave it blank to aggregate all symbols.
  • Max Items to Show: For list-based widgets (like Recent Trades), define exactly how many items you want to see.

Pro Tip: Set up multiple "Win Rate" widgets side-by-side, filtering one for EURUSD and one for GBPUSD to compare them instantly.

Innova AI Agent

Pro / Ultimate Feature

The Innova AI Assistant is a conversational interface connected directly to your encrypted trade history. It acts as your private quantitative analyst.

Usage

Example Prompts

  • "What is my most profitable trading hour?"
  • "Which symbol gives me the highest win rate?"
  • "What is the average holding time of my winners vs. my losers?"
  • "How long does it typically take me to recover from a drawdown?"
  • "Analyze my risk of ruin based on my current Sharpe ratio."
