The MQL5 account is only for this site and its related services. It is not for real trading. MetaQuotes is not a broker but a Software company.
To trade with a real account, you have to first acquire a broker to deal with such matters. Make sure to search for a well established, reputable and regulated broker. Do your research well so as not to have any nasty surprises when dealing with your funds.
Like everyone else does it. You google, you read, you research, you check broker's regulatory details such as registration id. You try finding brokers in your own country or that have a physical office in your country if possible (there are several in Australia and/or New Zealand). If not in your country, then at least choose those located and regulated by countries with a good financial and reputable standing.

So I have an account with MQL5 apparently.
How do I use the app? All I get is the demo!
Not very user friendly is it.
