Connecting to demo server via MT 4 downloaded from metatrader site (because I'm using a mac)

[koonseng101]

I managed to download and install MT 4 (OSX) from the metatrader site. I also tried signing up for a MT demo account. However, because I'm using a pre-installed MT 4 (and not the one from IG which supports only windows), I need to put in IG's MT server name to 'scan' . I tried mt4.ig.com:443 but I think this is for the live account. What is the server address I should use to create a demo MT account? Would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks

Hi, think it's the same for both live and demo

Hi @koonseng101,

You can try to type in manually demo-mt4.ig.com:443 for the demo environment.

All the best - Arvin
