I use IBFX demo MT4 account on my PC.

What if I want to use the same account on my laptop, not at the same time?

I have tried entering username and password and it said invalid account.

Any help?

I am sure I entered correct username/password.

The thing is I downloaded latest version of MT4 from ibfx website. This might be causing me not able to login.

Any thoughts?

Check the server, maybe you're trying to log into the real server instead of demo... (often happens).

You can Login into
Same Server on
Same Time from even a
Different MT4 platform (Desktop/PDA/Mobile MT 4 plaform)
Different PC's (Desktop/laptop) on same platform
Different IP too
Without any problem.

Just need Correct Server and Login Details
And REMEMBER, Instructions given to server from any of the PC's. Mobile, PDA will be executed on First come First serve basis
So trade accordingly !

Dont try to open/close/modify trades from two locations or tell any one to do it
Server will execute tasks as it come to it, on First Come, First Serve basis.
Hope i got my self understood!

(The above conditions are what i think i have tried already, If i am wrong somewhere , kindly correct me)

ok, I selected the demo2 server which is the only demo on the latest version of ibfx mt4(build 224, fresh install without updating.

I think the latest mt4 platform from ibfx would contain different server info. than the one I use on my PC which was updated to build 225.

I am not sure which one has the current server info.

Then you could try copying the full folder from your pc to your laptop so you have exactly the same version and platform elements...

Good news, I changed the server from mt4-demo2.ibfx.com to mt4-demo1.ibfx.com and it works.

Then I was able to update to the build 225 and the name of the server appeared as IBFX-MT4 Demo-1_5 decimal.


B.S. I can see the "mt4-demo2.ibfx.com" because I use a firewall softwere and it alerts me when a program tries to connect to the internet.
