How To Open Deriv Demo Account MT5 (2025) ✔

Before risking a single dollar, I always start by testing new setups and pairs on a Deriv demo account — especially for Volatility 75, Boom 1000, and newer synthetic indices.

The truth is, many traders rush into live accounts and blow them in days. Demo gives you a safe environment to test how MT5 works, how indices move, and how lot sizes impact your equity.

I even use the demo account to test my bot strategies in a risk free environment.

Here’s exactly how to open a Deriv demo account and log into it on MT5.

1. Go to Deriv.com and click “Create Demo Account”
2. Sign up using your email or Google/Apple
3. Confirm your email address
4. Choose your country and set a password

This account doesn’t work on MT5 or for trading V75 — for that, follow the MT5 setup below.

💻 How to Create a Deriv MT5 Demo Account (Synthetic Trading)

1. Log into your Deriv dashboard
2. Go to Trader’s Hub → DMT5 section
3. Click Add Demo Account under “CFD” (Synthetic Indices)
4. Set your MT5 demo password
5. Your login ID and server details will appear — note them down
6. Transfer virtual funds via the Cashier → Transfer section
7. Download MT5 from Deriv and log in using:
   • Broker: Deriv Limited
   • Server: Deriv-Demo
   • Login ID + your password
8. Done — you’re ready to practise V75, Boom, Crash and more

👍🏽 Pros of Using the Deriv Demo Account

• It feels just like the real thing — same charts, same assets, same price movement
• Signup is fast and free — no documents, no delays
• Perfect way to practise trading without losing real money
• Switching to live is easy — same dashboard, same login
• You can use it for as long as you need — no expiry
• You can even test copy trading strategies through Deriv cTrader

👎🏽 What the Deriv Demo Doesn’t Prepare You For

• There’s no emotion — it’s easy to risk $5,000 in demo when it’s not your real money
• The account balance is usually way more than what you’ll deposit for real — so you don’t get to feel the pressure of managing small accounts
• And of course — you can’t withdraw demo profits (no matter how good that $3,000 win looks)

Tip: Use demo to master your system — but don’t skip the mindset work before going live.

⚠️ Common Problems (And Fixes) With The Deriv Demo Account

Problem	Fix
Can’t log in to MT5	Double-check the login ID, server (Deriv-Demo), and password
Demo account not showing	Make sure it was created in Trader’s Hub and activated
Wrong password error	Reset password in Deriv > Trader’s Hub > Demo settings
Server not found	Search for Deriv-Demo exactly in MT5

Always copy-paste login credentials from your dashboard — don’t type them manually.

💡 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your MT5 Demo Account

• Act like it’s real money. Don’t take reckless trades just because it’s virtual — use proper risk management from day one.
  
• Test different strategies. This is the perfect space to experiment with indicators, setups, and timeframes — without losing a cent.
  
• Get comfortable with the platform. Learn how to open/close trades, set stop loss, adjust lot sizes, and use tools like trendlines or RSI.
  
• Review your trades like a pro. Look back at wins and losses, journal what worked and what didn’t, and track your progress.
  
• Don’t rush to go live. Only switch when you’ve built confidence and can repeat results — not just because the demo feels easy.

What you practise in demo is what you’ll repeat in live — build good habits early.
