How to Login to FTMO Trading Platforms

For those of you who are new to trading on our platforms, here is a tutorial on how to log in, including the most common issues you may encounter in the process. To log in successfully, please follow the instructions precisely.

MetaTrader 5

Your login credentials, link to download the platform, and a link to open its web version can be found in your Client Area, in the Credentials section within Account MetriX.

Common issues:

  • Using a read-only password if you want to trade. Trading-related actions require the master password. If you are logged in with a read-only password, log out and log in again with the master password. Both passwords are visible in the Credentials section.
  • Using an incorrect server. Please ensure that you use the correct FTMO server. The server must be exactly the same as in your Credentials section.

Before doing so, please also read this important information:

  • You can use any of your TradingView registrations, regardless of the email address used.
  • By connecting FTMO to TradingView, all FTMO simulated trading accounts with the TradingView platform will be automatically connected.
  • The trading account(s) will not be synced to any of your other devices with the same TradingView registration. If you plan to use multiple devices, you can, but you must connect to FTMO on each device individually.
  • If you forgot your password for your TradingView registration, use the “Forgot password” option on the TradingView sign-in page.
