Download MT5 from brokers webside - this is in generall the better choice than trying to connect manually.

 

Thanks for you answer, but if a have multiple accounts at different brokers i'd like to have them all merged into one instance of mt5 rather than beeing forced to install multiple ...

  

 

Gruess Gott. Keine probleme

Turn on Navigator bar. Right mouse click on Accounts - context menu - Open an account. Click "add new server" and just type "alparifs" (not IP!) then click "Scan" button. In few seconds You can see "Alpari Financial Services Ltd" demo server. Select it and click "Weiter"

PS I've checked it right now

 
thank you stringo for the hint ... yes it will display the alparifs demo server, however it will not login correctly ... account works in mt4 though ...

?!?!?

I don't know what happened on your side. I've tried it once more and open a new Alpari FS demo account 5 minutes ago.

Do you login with existing account or open a new account? What the buttons do you press? Step by step
