Export a backtest or account report from MT5
MetaTrader 5 can export two kinds of report Monetio reads: a Strategy Tester backtest result, and a live account's trading history. Both come from a right-click "Save as Report" action, in HTML or XLSX.
Either format works; XLSX keeps more precision in the numbers, and both open in a normal browser download.
For a backtest: run it
Open the Strategy Tester (View → Strategy Tester), choose the expert, symbol and period, and run it. Once it finishes, open the Backtest sub-tab.

In the Toolbox at the bottom of the terminal, open the History tab and pick the date range that covers the whole account.

Right-click the trade list and choose "Report" or "Save as Report". Pick HTML for a readable page or "Open XML (*.xlsx)" for a spreadsheet; either one is fine to upload.
