Log in to your XS.com member page and go to the menu "Accounts" -> "Demo Accounts" -> "+ Demo Account". Choose MT5 as the trading platform, "EQ Standard Account" as the account type, 1:2000 leverage, and either USD (1000 initial balance) or JPY (100000 initial balance), then press "Next" to create the account.
Keep the initial balance at 1000 for USD or 100000 for JPY. Any other amount will make you ineligible for the contest.
In step 1 ("Select trading platform") of account creation, always choose MT5. Accounts created with MT4 cannot join the contest.
Note down your account details
The account creation confirmation screen shows your "account number", "server" (XSFintech-Demo), and "investor password". You will use these three for your entry. Each has a copy icon you can use directly.
- ●If you later lose the account number, server name or investor password: in the XS.com member area open Menu → 口座 (Accounts) → 口座詳細 (Account details), scroll down to the Demo accounts list and press the 詳細 (Details) button at the far right of the account. The investor password itself cannot be shown again, so reissue it with the 変更する (Change) button, then register the new password on your My Page account edit form.
The "Password" (for trading) is not needed for entry. Be sure to use the "Investor Password" instead.
