Running Multiple Demo Accounts Concurrently in MT5

 
Hey everyone. I just started playing around with MT5 trying to setup several demo account from my broker, OspreyFX.
But i noticed that the accounts won't run concurrently, or at the same time. I can only switch between them and MT5 has me login each time for each different one.
I don't know if it's something specifically with MT5 or OspreyFX, but has anybody gone through this or had this happen before?
I'd like to test multiple EA's at the same time if possible with live data, and can't really do that with this setup.

Correct. If you want multiple accounts, install multiple terminals (in different folders).

Well, that didn't work out the way i hoped.

I installed the same program in a different folder in Program Files on my VPS, but it still opens the same instance that has my initial Demo account.

Sounds like the second install uses the same user files or registry entries as the first install

Alright, so i finally got it working with two different terminals.

But now it looks like the time is frozen and metatrader isn't updating with the market. Like it's actually frozen.

Anybody know how to check if metatrader is actually active?

And of course, i didn't bother to check if the forex markets were even open. My bad.
