Course › Level 4 — Your first trade

Open your free demo account

Time to get hands-on — with virtual money, so mistakes cost nothing while you learn. Setup takes about 10 minutes:

1. Create the Deriv account — email, verify, done. No deposit needed for a demo.
2. In the Deriv hub, choose Trader's Hub → CFDs → MT5 Standard → Demo. Deriv creates your demo MT5 login with $10,000 virtual.
3. Download MetaTrader 5 (phone or PC) and log in with the details Deriv shows you (server, login, password).
4. In MT5's Market Watch, find Volatility 75 Index and open its chart.
