After you add an MT4 Standard sender you'll get an EA `.ex4` file. In MT4: open the data folder (File → Open Data Folder), drop it in `MQL4/Experts`, refresh the Navigator, drag it onto any chart (the symbol doesn't matter), allow DLL imports + algo trading. The EA reports all trades on the account, not just the chart it's attached to.

This is the cleanest reference for the payload I've seen, thanks.

Confirming Tradovate-as-sender is not a thing — asked support last month, same answer.
