Why connect Deriv to MT5?

MT5 is a trading platform that allows:

• analyse the graphs;

• use technical indicators;

• opening and closing positions;

• manage your orders in real time;

• to follow your trading history.

To use these features, your Deriv account must be linked to MT5.

Step 1: Create an MT5 account on Deriv

After creating your Deriv account, go to your personal area.

You can then create a MetaTrader 5 account tailored to the markets you want to trade.

Once created, you will receive:

• your MT5 ID;

• your MT5 password;

• the name of the server to which you connect.

Step 2: Open MetaTrader 5

Launch the MT5 app on your computer or phone.

Choose the option to connect to an existing account.

Step 3: Look for the Deriv server

In the search bar, enter the name of the server indicated in your Deriv space.

Then select the server for your account.

Step 4: Enter your credentials

Inform:

• your MT5 ID;

• your MT5 password.

Then validate the connection.

If all the information is correct, your account will be immediately logged in.

How do I check that the connection works?

You will know that everything is properly configured if:

• your balance is displayed;

• graphs are updated;

• markets are available;

• you can open a position.

Most frequent errors

If the connection fails, check:

• that you use your MT5 password and not Deriv's password;
