How to Login to FTMO MetaTrader 5 (MT5)

For those of you who are new to trading on our platform, here is a tutorial on how to log in, including the most common issues you may encounter in the process. We will also try to help you with some of the problems that may arise in exceptional cases.

To successfully log in to your trading platform, please follow the instructions step by step precisely; otherwise, the instructions may not work.

Common issues:

  • The correct server is not visible: Type OANDA Corporation into the search bar to find the company again, even if you already see the company in the list. This process reloads all information, and all available servers will become visible.
