DAX40 on DEMO account, live charts not displaying

 

Hi.

Probably a newbie question for most of you, but:

Where in my demo MT account can I find the symbol for DAX40 and add it, I was only able to find GDAXlm under symbols/indices - is this the right one? - but trading with it is disabled for some reason when I add it to Market Watch. Also it just keeps showing me historical charts not live ones. What am I missing?

Thank you in advance

All the symbols are related to the broker.
And the price on the chart (quotes/datafeed) is related to the broker too.
So, you may find the broker which is proposing this symbol for traders.

Oh I see. But do I need a broker simply to test the software? By test I mean trading with virtual money and live charts for some time using MT5. I'm just trying to familiarize myself with MT5 before I start trading with real money. What is the best way to do that keeping in mind that I will be trading DAX40 only.

Thank you

Find the broker which i proposing DAX40, look at specificatioj of this symbol (do the broker allows to trade this symbol or not),
and open demo account to be familiar with trading for example.

Yes you do. Choose a broker allowing DAX40. Open a demo account.

 

@ DarjanZ there is maybe my stupid answers of beginner, 

when you create a MT5 demo account on the MT5 software you are allowed to trade many symbols and I think sure you will find DAX40, maybe you don't have to find a broker now if you just want to try the platform with this indice, And I know depend the broker the name can change, for example if I'm not wrong (Maybe) with [broker name removed] will find the old name DE30 mean DAX40,
