Frequently asked questions

Can I trade MT5 with a demo account?

  • $50,000 of virtual funds
  • Wide range of order types
  • Professional charting tools
  • Actionable insights via integrated analysis

Do I need a separate account to trade on MT5?

Yes, because of the difference in the capabilities of the MT5 platform, you’ll need to open a dedicated MT5 account. If you already have a different account type with us, this will be separate from your existing login.

With an MT5 account, you’ll be able to trade FX – and other markets – with a suite of over 20 apps that give you professional-grade control and flexibility over your trading strategy. Additionally, gain access to nine EAs, including Sentiment Trader.

You may request an additional account by logging into MyAccount, going to your Account Settings and selecting Add New Account.
