Metatrader Demo That Doesn't Expire?

[-Conan-]

I really like the MT platform but my broker doesn't allow it so I do all my charting in MT. Is there a demo in MT for any broker that doesn't expire? I know I can just keep recreating demo accounts, but it's a pain.

How is recreating a new demo account a pain?
It only takes 3 seconds.
And why does anyone need a non-expiring
demo account anyway? What is the point?

My accounts with ODL and IBFX both created in May have not expired. But what you do is, open Explorer and drag all your indicators and profiles and templates to the new MT4 provider. Use Control + to drag so they will be copied, not elimiated from the original.

That way your templates etc follow you if you have to switch providers or in my case, I use two or more testing different strategies in different demo accounts.

Hope that helps

Because in my experience, you have to redo all your charts, loading up all your templates and whatnot. It's just something I'd rather not do.
