2. Select Demo and MT5

On the account setup screen, select Demo instead of Real. Then check the following settings:
- Currency — account base currency
- Starting balance — virtual balance for practice
- Max leverage — maximum leverage setting
- Platform — select MT5
- Trading password — password for the trading account
For example, you can set the starting balance to 10,000 USD and select MT5 as the platform. After checking the settings, click Create Demo account. Available leverage and account settings may vary depending on your region, account type, and Exness rules.
3. Check Your New Demo Account

After the account is created, go to My Accounts. Select the Demo tab to view your demo trading accounts. Check that:
- The account uses MT5
- The account type is correct
- The virtual balance matches your selected amount
When you are ready, click the Trade button for that account.
4. Check the MT5 Login and Server Information

The Trade screen shows the information needed to connect the account to MetaTrader 5. The three important items are:
- Server — the server name used for the account
- MT Login — your MT5 account number
- Password — the trading password you created earlier
These details must be entered correctly when logging in to MT5. If you choose the wrong server, the account may not connect even when the login number and password are correct.
5. Review the Account Settings

Before logging in to MT5, check the account settings one more time. Confirm the following:
- Demo account
- Account currency
- Starting balance
- Maximum leverage
- MT5 platform
- Trading password
For practice, it can be useful to choose a virtual balance and trading conditions similar to what you may actually use later instead of selecting unrealistically large amounts. Key Takeaways You can create an Exness MT5 demo account in this order:
