How to Create a Demo Account on MT5 (Windows)

You can create an MT5 (Windows) demo account directly inside MT5 via "File" → "Open an Account." Select "Titan FX Limited" from the broker list, check the demo-account option, then enter your name, contact details, server (TitanFX-MT5-Demo), account type, currency, and leverage. Enter the verification code sent to your email, and your risk-free virtual-money demo account is ready to use.

How to Create a Demo Account

Select "Open an Account" from the "File" menu in MT5.

In the displayed dialog, select "Titan FX Limited" from the company list and click "Next."
If it does not appear, type "titanfx" in the search box and click "Find your company" to search.

Ensure "Open a demo account to trade with virtual money without risk" is checked, and click "Next."

Enter or select the required information and click "Next."
The items to be entered are as follows:
① First Name
② Last Name
③ Date of Birth
④ Email Address
⑤ Mobile Phone Number
⑥ Select the server "TitanFX-MT5-Demo"
⑦ Select the account currency and account type. If the currency name is followed by SD, it is a Standard account: if followed by Blade, it is a Blade account.
⑧ Specify the account balance
⑨ Specify the account leverage

Check "I agree to the Terms and Conditions and the Data Protection Policy for account opening," then click "Next." A verification code will be sent to the email address you entered.

Open the email and check the verification code.

Enter the verification code you received into the verification code field.

Login information for the demo account will be displayed.
This information will not be sent via email, so save it securely as you will need it to log in.
Click "Finish" to complete the demo account creation and log in.

Demo Account Expiration

MT5 demo accounts expire if not logged into for 30 days. Expired demo accounts cannot be reinstated; you will need to create a new one in MT5.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. Does an MT5 demo account expire?

Yes. If 30 days pass since your last login, the demo account expires and you can no longer log in. Expired accounts cannot be restored, so simply open a new demo account inside MT5.

Q2. Should I choose a Standard or Blade demo account?

On the account-type screen, entries ending in "SD" are Standard accounts and those marked "Blade" are Blade accounts. Choose the type you plan to trade with so you can practice in an environment close to the real one.

Q3. I forgot my login details.

Demo-account login details are not sent by email. You need to save the information shown at creation in a note or file. If you lose it, just open a new demo account.

Q4. What is the difference between a demo and a live account?

A demo account uses virtual money, so you can practice without risk. Spreads and execution are close to live trading, but conditions such as liquidity are not perfectly identical.
