To make an MT5 account, log into your Exness Personal Area, click “Open New Account,” pick “MT5,” choose live or demo, and set your currency, leverage, and password.
You need MetaTrader 5 installed on your device—it works on Windows, Mac, Android, or iOS, and you can download it from Exness, MetaQuotes, Google Play, or the App Store.
You’ll need your MT5 login details: the account number, trading password, and server name (like “Exness-MT5Real” for live or “Exness-MT5Demo” for demo) from your Exness Personal Area.
To find your MT5 login details, log into your Exness Personal Area, go to “My Accounts,” pick your MT5 account, and check “Account Information” for the login, server, and password.
You need a fast, stable internet connection—don’t use public WiFi that might block trading.
For a live MT5 account, make sure you have enough money to trade, added through M-Pesa, bank transfer, e-wallets, or crypto in your Exness Personal Area.
Pick the right server when logging in, like “Exness-MT5Real” for live or “Exness-MT5Demo” for demo, or it won’t work.
Check that the trading instruments you want, like stocks or indices, are available on MT5.

If you’re using a desktop, open MT5, click “File,” then “Login to Trade Account.” Type in your account number and password, pick the right server (like Exness-MT5Real), and hit “Login.” That’s it—you should be connected.

On a phone, tap “Quotes,” hit the “+” button, search for something like EUR/USD or XAU/USD, and tap “Add.”
