Why Can't I trade normal forex demo account?

[CoryNorris]

Just downloaded the new MT5 because of a new laptop and it won't allow me to open up anything other than a hedging demo account?

Also I can't load get a custom Composite Indicator to show up in my indicator list? Does this have to be recoded for MT5 and if so does anyone have it? It's Constance Brown's custom indicator

laptop with Windows?
And the indicator is from the Market?

As many people are asking about "How to open account with MT5" and "How to add the broker to MT5" so I want to remind the following links:

Well I downloaded MT5 for the 5th time right from the mql5 forum site and that's allowing me to open a demo.  Not as many currencies and my broker says they no longer offer a network for MT5 as they have their own platform.  I still want to use MT5 as I have it customized how I like if I could just get this Composite Index indicator to show up.  It was so easy on MT4

Thanks, I open to all suggestions for this indicator problem

The indicator is an .ex4 file, i'm operating on windows.  Is there a way to make that compatible with MT5?  I can't remember if I got the original code base from here or another source.  Been using it for a while

CoryNorris: Is there a way to make that compatible with MT5?

No, it must be recoded. You can't boat down the highways or drive on the oceans.
