Setting up MetaTrader 5 with Enso Markets takes four steps: open an account, verify it, fund it and log in to MT5 with the account details issued to you. MT5 runs on Windows and Mac desktops, in a web browser and on iOS and Android, and the same account syncs across all of them. This guide covers each step, the first settings worth changing, and how to practise on a demo account before trading with real funds.
The four steps
| Step | What you do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Sign up | Register with your email and create a client profile | Register button on ensomarket.com |
| 2. KYC | Upload proof of identity and proof of address | Client area |
| 3. Add funds | Deposit to the trading account; the ECN account starts from $50 | Client area |
| 4. Trade | Log in to MT5 with your account number, password and server | MT5 on any device |
The account opening and verification guide lists the documents that pass first time.
Choosing a device
| Version | Best for |
|---|---|
| Windows or Mac desktop | Full charting, Expert Advisors and the strategy tester |
| MT5 Web | Trading from any browser without installing anything |
| iOS and Android apps | Checking positions and placing orders away from your desk |
Expert Advisors run only on the desktop terminal, so an automated strategy needs a desktop or a VPS that stays on.
First settings worth changing
| Setting | Why |
|---|---|
| Market Watch: show the instruments you trade | Keeps the symbol list short and fast to scan |
| Contract specifications for each instrument | Shows the minimum trade size, from 0.01 lots on many instruments, and trading hours |
| One Click Trading | Faster order entry, but turn it on only once you know the platform |
| Access point rescan | Connects through the fastest route to the trade server |
| Algo Trading button | Must be on for Expert Advisors to place trades |
The execution speed guide explains how to read your ping and rescan access points.
Practise on a demo account first
A demo account mirrors the live trading environment with virtual funds. Use it to test an Expert Advisor, try indicators and learn how lot size changes the value of each pip before you trade with real money. The pips, lots and margin guide shows the arithmetic.
MT5 and FIX API for partners
Enso Markets’ main business is B2B: brokerage infrastructure for proprietary trading firms, introducing brokers and institutional partners. The same MT5 set-up described here runs underneath partner programmes, and institutions that need direct order routing can connect through FIX API instead of the MT5 interface. Start on the partnership page or write to marketing@ensomarket.com.
