How do I open a demo account?

You can open unlimited free demo accounts with VT Markets using your registered email address, with customizable virtual balances ranging from 1,000 to 100,000 USD across MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). Demo account validity depends on the platform chosen, and expired or depleted accounts can be replaced at any time through the VT Markets Client Portal or the VT Markets App.

Demo Account Options and Number

When opening a demo account, you can configure it to match your trading preferences:

  • Demo account number: Not Limited.

  • Platform Support:  MT4 and MT5

  • Account type: STP or ECN
  • Base currency: USD, GBP, CAD, AUD, EUR, HKD, JPY, AED
  • Leverage:  Maximum of 500:1
  • Virtual balance: Up to 1,00,000 in your chosen base currency.

Steps to open a demo account

Refer to the following steps to create a new demo account:

  • Via the VT Markets Client Portal 

  1. Log in to the VT Markets Client Portal.

  2. Go to Account in the left navigation menu, click Open Account, and select Demo Account.

  3. Choose your trading platform (MT4 or MT5), preferred account type, leverage, and initial virtual balance.

  4. Submit the form to generate your demo trading account number, password, and server details immediately.

  • Via the VT Markets App (Mobile)

  1. Open the VT Markets App.

  2. Tap the menu icon (nine-dot icon) in the top-left corner of the screen.

Demo account expiration periods

Expiry works differently on MT4 and MT5:

  • MetaTrader 4 (MT4): MT4 demo accounts automatically expire and are deleted 30 days after registration, regardless of whether you trade or log in.

  • MetaTrader 5 (MT5): MT5 demo accounts stay active indefinitely as long as you use them, but are automatically deleted after 30 consecutive days of inactivity (no logins recorded).

If your demo account expires, you can create a new one at any time through the Client Portal or VT Markets App.
