# Copier logs

Read the chronological record of everything a copier does — copies, closes, failures, and protection triggers — and filter or export it.

The **Copier Logs** tab on a copier's detail page records every action it takes: successful copies, closes, failures, protection triggers, and configuration changes. It's where you go to confirm a trade copied, or to find out why one didn't.

## Reading an entry

Each row carries a timestamp, the event type, a description, the symbol, the from/to accounts, and a related trade ID where applicable. The description often includes the detail that matters — for a protection trigger, for example:

```
Your daily loss protection limit was reached - -520.00 against a limit of -500.00
```

The entry names the limit that fired: **daily loss** or **daily profit** for the daily limits, and **stop loss** or **take profit** for **Max Account Loss** and **Max Account Profit**. It doesn't list the action taken; the receiver's **Protection** tab shows which action is set.

Logs are ordered newest first.

## Filter and export

* **Filters** — narrow by event type, account, symbol, and date range. Filters combine (all conditions must match) and persist for your session.
* **Export** — download the filtered logs as a CSV file for your own records.

When a trade doesn't appear on a receiver, the logs are the fastest way to find out why — look for a **Copy Failed**, **Connection Issue**, or **Protection Triggered** entry around that time. See [Troubleshooting copiers](/copy-trading/troubleshooting.md).
