Quick summary (3 steps)

  1. Create & verify your Deriv account and open an MT5 sub-account (demo or real).
  2. Fund your Deriv account and transfer funds into the MT5 sub-account.
  3. Open MT5 (desktop / web / mobile), log in to your MT5 account and place a trade (market or pending).


Before you start — prerequisites & tips

  • You need a verified Deriv account (KYC may be required depending on jurisdiction).
  • Decide whether you want Demo (practice) or Real trading — always start with demo if new.
  • MT5 on Deriv supports desktop (Windows/Mac), web trader, and mobile apps — choose the interface that suits you.


Step-by-step guide

1) Create / sign in to your Deriv account

  • Visit Deriv and sign up (email / social login).
  • Deriv Sign up
  •  Complete identity verification if requested.
  • Once logged in, open Trader’s Hub (the control centre for adding trading platform accounts).

Visual: see the app / Trader’s Hub screenshot in the image carousel above (image 4).

2) Create a Deriv MT5 account (Demo or Real)

  1. In Trader’s Hub choose CFD → find Deriv MT5 and click Get / Trade.
  2. Pick Demo or Real, then choose account type (Derived indices vs Financial/Forex). Note: Deriv provides swap-free options for certain accounts.
  3. After creation you’ll see your MT5 login ID, server name, and a place to set the MT5 password (these are required to log in from the MT5 app).
  4. Mt5 Sign Up

Tip: Keep your MT5 login ID and password safe — they are not the same as your Deriv dashboard login.

3) Fund your Deriv account and transfer funds to MT5

  • Deposit money into your main Deriv account using the Cashier (cards, e-wallets, bank transfers, local methods). See Deriv’s payment methods for limits and processing times.
  • After deposit: go to Cashier → Transfer and move funds from your Deriv wallet into the specific MT5 sub-account. Transfers are instant.

4) Open MT5 (desktop / web / mobile) and connect

Desktop (Windows / Mac):

  1. Download MetaTrader 5 (official) or use the Deriv MT5 installer/page.
  2. Open MT5 → File → Open an account → search/select Deriv server (server name from your MT5 dashboard) → Connect with an existing trade account → enter your MT5 login ID & password → Finish.

Web: open app.deriv.com/mt5 or Deriv’s web MT5 link and use the MT5 credentials.

Mobile (iOS / Android):

  • Install MetaTrader 5 from the App Store / Google Play, open it, then Login to Trade Account and enter the Deriv MT5 server, login ID and password.

5) MT5 layout — the panels you’ll use

  • Market Watch — list of tradable symbols; right-click → Show All / Symbols to add.
  • Chart window — price action with timeframes & indicators.
  • Toolbox / Terminal — Trade tab (open positions), History, Alerts, Journal.
  • Navigator — accounts, indicators, expert advisors.
    These basics are covered in Deriv’s MT5 toolbox and Academy lessons.


6) Place your first trade (practical)

  1. From Market Watch, double-click the symbol you want (e.g., EUR/USD) → New Order window opens.
  2. Choose Volume (lot size), Type (Market or Pending). For pending orders you can select Buy Limit / Sell Limit / Buy Stop / Sell Stop / Stop-limit variants.
  3. (Highly recommended) Enter Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) values before placing the order to manage risk. You can add/modify SL/TP later.
  4. Click Buy or Sell (market order) or Place (pending). Confirm the order executed in the Trade tab.

Example: open EUR/USD 0.01 lot with SL = 20 pips and TP = 40 pips. The platform will show the opened trade in the Trade tab.

7) Trade management & common actions

  • Modify / close: right-click the position in the Trade tab → Modify or Close. You can also drag order lines on the chart to change SL/TP.
  • Trailing stop: set a trailing stop on an open position to lock profit automatically (right-click on the order).
  • Download history / reports: Terminal → History → right-click → Save Report (XML/HTML). Use Deriv support if you need account statements.

8) Useful MT5 tips & best practices

  • Practice on demo until you’re consistently profitable.
  • Use proper risk management: risk only a small % of your equity per trade (commonly 1–2%). (Best practice; Deriv provides risk disclaimers.)

  • Keep your Deriv account secure — enable 2FA where available and don’t reuse passwords.Sign up

Troubleshooting & support

  • Can't log in? Check server name in your Deriv MT5 dashboard and ensure password is correct. Reset via the Deriv MT5 dashboard if needed.
  • Deposit/withdrawal issues: check the Cashier and payment method pages, or contact Deriv live chat.
