Important:
MetaTrader EA's cannot be installed on a Smartphone. They need to be installed on your desktop PC running MetaTrader 4 or 5 only.

Should you not have access to MetaTrader on your desktop, I recommend using a small cheap VPS which can be provided.

The Trade Journal gives you a clean, powerful dashboard for monitoring trade performance, calendar-based results, ROI, win rate, profit factor, deposits/withdrawals, and account analytics — all in one place. All in real time

You can use this trade journal on multiple accounts of Metatrader. The one thing you must do is use a unique email address for every occurrence of the installation.

If you use the same email address on multiple EAs, it will stop the trade journal from working.
