EA Portfolio Analyzer review 2026: Jimmy Eriksson's $49 MT5 dashboard
EA Portfolio Analyzer review. A $49 MT5 utility from Jimmy Peter Eriksson that filters performance by magic number across multiple EAs. Useful tool, or a funnel upsell?
- EA Portfolio Analyzer is a $49 MT5 indicator, the only non-EA product in Jimmy Eriksson's catalog.
- You drag it onto a chart and enter EA magic numbers comma-separated to get a dashboard of P&L, win rate, profit factor, recovery factor, drawdown, and an equity curve.
- It filters by magic number, so it works with any EA from any developer, not just Jimmy's.
- Single-account only. No cross-account aggregation, no CSV export, no correlation math, no API.
- Worth $49 if you run 3 to 6 EAs on one terminal and want a private in-terminal dashboard. MyFxBook does most of it free if you don't mind publishing your trades.
TL;DR
EA Portfolio Analyzer is the odd one out in Jimmy Peter Eriksson's catalog: a $49 MT5 utility (indicator-class), launched 10 February 2026, the only product in his lineup that isn't an Expert Advisor. Currently version 1.20 (28 February 2026), with 10 activations per licence and a free demo.
What it does: it adds up trade history on a single MT5 account, filterable by magic number. You type in the magic numbers of every EA running on your account, and the tool builds a chart-attached dashboard with P&L, win rate, profit factor, recovery factor, max DD, current DD, win/loss size stats, trade frequency, commissions, swaps, and a visual equity curve. You can toggle magic numbers to compare different EA combinations.
What it doesn't do: cross-account aggregation, CSV export, correlation matrix computation, Monte Carlo simulation, walk-forward analysis. It's a magic-number filter plus an equity curve overlay. If you run a multi-account portfolio, you'd have to install the tool on each terminal separately, with no roll-up.
Bottom line: worth $49 for the right buyer (one MT5 terminal, 3 to 6 EAs by magic number, wants an in-terminal dashboard without uploading to MyFxBook). Less useful as a multi-account portfolio tool.

What it does in practice
Per the vendor's quick-start guide, the workflow is:
- Drag the indicator onto an empty MT5 chart
- Open the inputs tab
- Enter EA magic numbers (comma-separated, example:
12345,67890) - Click OK to load the dashboard
The on-chart dashboard then shows the following metrics for the selected magic number combination:
- Total P&L and total positions
- Win rate
- Profit factor, Recovery factor
- Max consecutive wins / losses
- Biggest win / loss, average win / loss
- Max drawdown, current drawdown
- Average trade duration
- Average trades per week
- Total commissions, total swaps
- Visual equity curve (recalculates per magic number selection)
- Date range filter (review specific weeks/months)
It's a clean, in-terminal performance dashboard.
What it doesn't do
Worth spelling out, because the marketing implies "professional analytics" and there are gaps:
- No correlation matrix. Vendor language says you can "identify uncorrelated performance", but correlation here is qualitative (a visual equity overlay), not computed numerically. There's no correlation coefficient output.
- No combined-portfolio risk projection. No Monte Carlo, no walk-forward.
- No per-EA Sharpe/Sortino. PF and recovery factor only.
- No CSV export. Data stays in the chart.
- No HTML report. Same story, in-terminal only.
- No multi-account aggregation. One instance equals one account equals one terminal.
- No API. Nothing scriptable.
The vendor has separately published a free MQL5 script called "Portfolio Scorer: Multi-EA Correlation and Coverage Analyzer" (mql5.com/en/code/71307) that actually does the correlation math the paid product lacks. Worth knowing about.
If you don't care about keeping your funded results out of MyFxBook, then MyFxBook is the better tool feature-for-feature, and it's free. The $49 buys you privacy and a workflow built around magic numbers.
Vs the free alternatives
MyFxBook (free):
- Magic-number breakdown: yes
- Correlation between systems: yes
- Cross-account portfolios: yes
- Public/private equity tracking
- Free, ad-supported
FxBlue / EA Studio (free):
- Similar analytics capability
- Free
Custom Excel from MT5 JSON history:
- Full flexibility
- One-off setup cost
- Free
The case for paying $49:
- Nothing gets broadcast out. Trade data never leaves your terminal (matters for prop firm operators who don't want their funded results published or scraped)
- Instant setup. Drag to chart, type magic numbers, done (no broker linking, no API token)
- Bundled with the multi-EA workflow. Magic-number filtering matches the way Jimmy's catalog ships (each EA has its own magic by default)
- Private mode by design, no cloud sync
If none of those reasons matter to you, MyFxBook is genuinely the better tool feature-for-feature.
Reviews and sentiment
MQL5 reviews (2 total):
- FIREHAZE (4-star, April 2026): "Good analyzer, but you should add 'x' button to close the indicator from the chart. If I remove the indicator with 'right click > Indicator List > Delete' is a little bit broken and the indicator window won't close!"
- SEAN (5-star, February 2026): no comment text, rating only.
Pattern: one substantive review (a usability nit and feature request, not an abandonware complaint) plus one no-comment rating. Not a meaningful sentiment sample.
Activations: 10 paid plus 17 demo downloads in roughly three months. Not a popular product, even among Jimmy's customers.
Outside MQL5: zero discussion. No ForexPeaceArmy, no Forex Factory, no Reddit, no organic Twitter, no independent YouTube reviews. One vendor-published "Tool Demo: Portfolio Analyzer" YouTube video exists.
Vendor context: Jimmy's overall MQL5 reputation is solid, 4.6/5 over 118 cumulative reviews across his 7 products. The Portfolio Analyzer specifically has the smallest review base in his catalog, and it works as a low-friction entry point to his ecosystem (more on that below).
Is it a loss-leader / funnel?
Almost certainly yes. The economics:
- Jimmy's other 6 EAs are priced $349 to $599 each (total catalog value around $2,144 if you bought everything).
- The Analyzer at $49 is 3x cheaper than the next product (Bitcoin Core / Market Anomalies, both $349).
- The Analyzer's workflow assumes the buyer already runs multiple EAs by magic number. It's most useful to someone who has already bought into Jimmy's ecosystem.
- The companion blog "Quick Start Guide" (12 February 2026) backs up the funnel intent.
That's not a criticism, loss-leader pricing is normal. The framing is what matters: this isn't a stand-alone analytics product, it's a workflow extender for buyers of Jimmy's EAs (and any other multi-EA traders) priced low enough to feel like an easy yes.
How it compares to category peers
Portfolio analytics utilities on MQL5 (by review volume / price):
| Product | Price | Rating | Reviews | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EA Portfolio Analyzer | $49 | 4.0 | 2 | Magic-number dashboard, single-account |
| Trade Assistant 38 in 1 | $59 | 4.91 | 23 | Multi-purpose trade assistant |
| Ultimate Extractor | $125 | 5.0 | 11 | Closest portfolio-analytics peer |
| Trade Portfolio Dashboard MT5 | $69 | 5.0 | 1 | New entrant |
| Telegram To MT5 Copier | $199 | 5.0 | 49 | Different niche (copier) |
EA Portfolio Analyzer is the cheapest portfolio-analytics tool in the cohort, but it's the cheapest by a meaningful margin only if you compare it to portfolio analyzers specifically. The Ultimate Extractor at $125 is the closer feature peer.
Caveats worth saying out loud
Single account only. If you run accounts across multiple prop firms, this tool covers one of them at a time.
No CSV export. You can't pull the data into Excel for cross-account analysis.
No correlation math. Despite the marketing language, the correlation analysis is visual (overlay equity curves), not numerical.
Vendor doesn't dogfood publicly. There's no claim in the listing or his other product pages that he uses this tool on his own signal accounts. For a $49 analytics product, the vendor using it himself would be a strong sell. It's absent.
Tiny review base. 2 reviews after 3 months on market. Not enough community feedback to predict real-world reliability.
Magic number entry is manual. You have to know and type each EA's magic number. There's no auto-scan or auto-detect of open positions.
The free Portfolio Scorer script exists. Jimmy's own free MQL5 script does the correlation math the paid product lacks. If correlation is what you actually need, grab the free tool.

Who EA Portfolio Analyzer is for
A good fit if you:
- Run 3 to 6 EAs on a single MT5 terminal and want a clean dashboard
- Don't want to publish your trades to MyFxBook (prop firm operators, anyone who'd rather keep them private)
- Are already running Jimmy's EAs and want a workflow extender
- Need a $49 tool, not a $200+ professional suite
Not a good fit if you:
- Run multi-account at scale (multiple prop firms, multiple terminals)
- Need correlation coefficient computation
- Want CSV export for downstream analysis
- Already have a JSON / API data pipeline for your accounts
- Need MT4 support
How to get started
- Try the free demo first. Drag it on a chart, enter magic numbers, see if the dashboard fits your workflow.
- If you're happy with it, buy from MQL5, $49, 10 activations.
- Install on MT5, drag the indicator to an empty chart.
- Enter your EA magic numbers comma-separated in the inputs tab.
- Use the date range filter for windowed analysis (e.g. last 30 days, news week).
- Toggle magic numbers to compare different EA combinations.
Verdict
EA Portfolio Analyzer is exactly what it says on the tin: a $49 MT5 indicator that filters your trade history by magic number and computes standard performance metrics. No false marketing, no hidden upsell, no scam vibes, and it works.
It's also limited. Single-account only, no export, no correlation math, no MT4 support, no multi-account roll-up. For a $49 utility, those limits are reasonable. They only become problems if you treat the product as a stand-alone portfolio analytics suite, which it isn't.
For Jimmy's catalog this is the funnel-entry product. If you're considering his EAs, the Analyzer is a $49 way to test whether his workflow fits yours. For me specifically (multi-account, existing data pipeline, comfortable with MyFxBook), I'd skip it. For someone running 3 to 6 EAs on a single funded account who wants a polished in-terminal dashboard without publishing to a third-party service, it's a fair buy.
My read: worth the price for the right buyer. Not a must-have, not a scam, and not a hidden gem either, just a clean utility that does one thing.
