On MetaTrader4 (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5), you can open a demo account if allowed by your broker. Not many brokers are allowing this because, due to their marketing strategies, it is common to restrict the opening of demo accounts only through their own websites.

Here we will look at how to open a demo account on MT4/MT5.

Switch between MT4/MT5 tabs to check the steps for each.

Step 1

Click "File" in the menu and select "Open an Account".
