Can I trade "S & P 500" or "US 500" with Meta Trader 5 ?

[eric.bryan]

Hello everybody,

I am a beginner in Meta Trader and in trading in general.

I have a demo account and I have noticed that I can only trade the Forex.

How can I trade "S & P 500" or "US 500" or other indices with Meta Trader ?

Do I have to have another broker demo account ?

Thank you a lot in advance.

Eric.

Many brokers offer trading of stock market indexes (their future actually).

Specific broker talk is not allowed in the forum.

1. You can only trade what your broker allows. Market Watch → Right Click → Show All.
2. Is MQL only for Forex? - General - MQL5 programming forum FX, metals, binary options, bit coin. MT4 doesn't allow to trade shares, options and futures. MT5 does.
