MT5 from Zero: Set up MetaTrader 5 and place every order type without a costly slip

Learn MetaTrader 5 the way you will use it: log in to a demo, find your way around, read a symbol’s Specification, and fill the order ticket for market and pending orders with a stop and a target. Then manage, part-close and close trades, set alerts, install an indicator safely, and drill the mistakes that cost beginners most.

What you'll be able to do

Learn it in minutes, then use it

Each lesson is a few short ideas, each one tried straight away in a small activity: a calculation, a chart to mark up, a trade to take or skip.

  • Log in to an MT5 demo and know which password you may share
  • Find any symbol and read its Specification before you trade it
  • Choose the right market or pending order and fill the ticket correctly
  • Set a stop loss and take-profit, knowing sells close on the ask
  • Modify, part-close and close trades, and move a stop to break-even by hand
  • Set alerts and install an indicator without putting your account at risk
