1) Introduction to the MT5 Platform
MetaTrader 5 (MT5) is a professional trading terminal developed by MetaQuotes, supporting metals, stock indices, forex, commodities, and other asset types. BingX is integrated with the MT5 trading ecosystem, allowing users to connect directly to the BingX CFD server via the MT5 terminal and trade seamlessly.
* CFDs are leveraged derivatives with high risk that may result in the loss of all invested funds. Make sure you fully understand the risks involved before trading.
- Go to the MetaQuotes official website and download the MT5 installer for your operating system (Windows / macOS).
- Run the installer and follow the setup wizard to complete the installation.
The MT5 account uses a separate trading password, different from your BingX web account login password. You need to set it up using the steps below before logging in for the first time. Once you've set up your MT5 password, you can log in to the MT5 terminal using your BingX account UID and this password. Steps:
- Log in to the BingX CFD website, go to the trading page, and click "MT5 ID" in the bottom-right corner of the page.
- In the "MT5 ID Information" panel, find the "Master password" option and click "Reset."
-
The system will send a verification code to your linked email address. After entering the verification code, you can set a new MT5 trading password (make sure to save this password, as you'll need it to log in to the terminal later).
* Before resetting your password, make sure your account has a linked email address. If you haven't linked an email yet, please link it first.
3) Connect to a BingX CFD Server
- Launch the MT5 terminal application.
- In the top menu, click "File" → "Open an Account".
2. Search for the BingX server
- In the "Server" input field, enter: Bingmex.
