With the option on, the chart displays the levels of open positions and pending orders<\/a>, including Stop Loss<\/a> and Take Profit<\/a>, so you can see where your protective and target levels sit without leaving the chart.<\/p>\n\n Before Your First Trade<\/h3>\n\n Run through this list before you open a position:<\/p>\n\n \n \n \n 0 of 5 checked<\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Use the desktop version for trading robots, MetaEditor and the Strategy Tester, and start on a demo account to learn the platform.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
Demo account.<\/strong> Runs on virtual funds. Use it to learn the interface, try strategies, set up indicators and test trading robots with no real money at stake.<\/li>\n
Real account.<\/strong> Trades with real money, so every result is real too. Weigh the deposit size, the level of risk you accept and the conditions of the account type before you start.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n \n

<\/span>MT5 Login: How to Connect Your Trading Account<\/span><\/h2>\n\n
You connect MetaTrader 5 to a RoboForex account with three details:<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n
Login<\/div>\n
The unique account number, digits only.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
Trading password<\/div>\n
The password that lets you log in and place trades.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
Server<\/div>\n
The trading server of this specific account, listed in the RoboForex Members Area.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
Keep the trading password separate from the investor password<\/strong>. The investor password opens the account in view-only mode: you see the balance and trade history, and you cannot place trades.<\/p>\n\n
In the desktop version, the login takes eight steps:<\/p>\n\n
\n
Launch MetaTrader 5.<\/li>\n
Open the Navigator<\/strong> window.<\/li>\n
Right-click Accounts<\/strong> and choose Login to Trade Account<\/strong>.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n\n

How to Check the Connection<\/h3>\n\n
Once you are logged in, the terminal starts receiving data from the trading server. Three signs confirm it:<\/p>\n\n
\n
Market Watch<\/strong> shows prices for the available instruments, and they keep changing.<\/li>\n
The time at the top of Market Watch keeps moving.<\/li>\n
The connection indicator in the bottom right corner of the terminal shows live traffic.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n
If quotes are not coming in, go through the checks in the next section.<\/p>\n\n
<\/span>Three Quick Checks That Get Your Account Connected<\/span><\/h2>\n\n
When the terminal does not connect after you enter your details, start with the login data itself. These three checks cover most cases.<\/p>\n\n
Check the Login and Password<\/h3>\n\n
Make sure the account number has no extra characters or spaces. Confirm you entered the trading password for this account. The password for the RoboForex Members Area does not open the terminal.<\/p>\n\n
Check the Server<\/h3>\n\n
A server that does not match the account is one of the most common reasons a login fails. Real account details, for example, will not authorise on a server meant for demo accounts<\/a>. Look up the server name in the RoboForex Members Area and select exactly that one in MetaTrader 5.<\/p>\n\n
Check the Network<\/h3>\n\n
If the terminal is still not receiving quotes, check:<\/p>\n\n
\n
your internet connection<\/li>\n
your antivirus or firewall software<\/li>\n
that the selected server is the right one<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n
If local security software is blocking the connection, allow MetaTrader 5 network access in its settings.<\/p>\n\n
<\/span>After Installation: Your First Setup Checklist<\/span><\/h2>\n\n
With the account connected, a few basic settings make the terminal easier to work with and help you keep track of positions, orders and instruments.<\/p>\n\n
Open the Toolbox<\/h3>\n\n
Press Ctrl+T<\/strong> to open the Toolbox panel at the bottom of the terminal. It shows open positions and orders, trade history, your financial result, news and other account information. For manual trading, keep it open: it is where you see the current state of every position and pending order<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
Set Up Market Watch<\/h3>\n\n
Press Ctrl+M<\/strong> to open Market Watch, which lists available instruments with their current Bid and Ask prices. If the instrument you need is missing, right-click inside the window and choose Symbols<\/strong> to add it. Build your list in advance: the currency pairs, metals, indices<\/a>, cryptocurrencies or other instruments you plan to trade.<\/p>\n\n
Turn On Trade Levels<\/h3>\n\n
Make sure trade levels are shown on your charts: Tools → Options → Charts → Show trade levels<\/strong>. With the option on, the chart displays the levels of open positions and pending orders<\/a>, including Stop Loss<\/a> and Take Profit<\/a>, so you can see where your protective and target levels sit without leaving the chart.<\/p>\n\n
