FAQ – DeltaStock MetaTrader 5
While it is not necessary to have a background in trading, we recommend that you familiarise yourself with margin trading and derivatives contracts. You can also read through our Learn section and open a free demo account.
The DeltaStock MetaTrader 5 demo account is similar to a real trading account, but it allows you to trade without the risk of losing real money since the demo account uses virtual funds. This can be an excellent way to both gain experience as a trader and explore the platform. Once you feel confident enough to trade on the real markets, your next step could be to open a live account.
Deltastock does not open demo accounts for clients from the Kingdom of Spain due to regulatory reasons.

Yes, you can run any Expert Advisors (EAs) either coded by yourself or available from third-party providers.
Yes, you can use any custom indicators that are MQL-compatible. Please note, however, that there may be times when a third-party indicator is not compatible with our trading platform due to coding issues or for some other reason. Because of the above, while we do not restrict the use of any custom indicators, please note that we do not provide support for or endorse any of your indicators or that of third parties.
There are no restrictions. Please keep in mind, however, that MetaTrader 5 is a fairly RAM-intensive program, so overloading your platform with a large number of EAs and indicators could reduce the overall performance and speed of your trading platform.
Not necessarily. You can circumvent this by taking advantage of pending orders, which will be executed when the price of the traded instrument reaches your predefined level. You can find more information about some of these pending orders in our Learn section.
Your open positions won’t be closed until an existing stop-loss, take-profit, or another conditional order is fulfilled or if a margin stop-out level is reached. Existing pending stop or limit orders will still be filled if the entry rate is met. However, please note that, if you are using Expert Advisors, you would need to remain logged in and keep the platform open at all times.
The platform is set on server time, which in our case is Eastern European Time (EET). Unfortunately, this means that you won’t be able to change it to your local time.
You can have as many accounts as you need. However, you can only stay logged into one account at any given time. This means that, should you wish to stay logged into more than one account at the same time, you would need to run several instances of the platform on your device or browser of choice.
