Your trading account
Open your trading account, step by step
When you're ready to trade real money, there are two ways in: open a new account through our link, or move an account you already have under us. Then one last step for both: pick your broker, enter your account number here and request approval.
Disclosure: the broker pays the academy an introducing commission on the trading of accounts listed under it, out of its own share. Your pricing and spreads don't change.

Path one — you don't have an account yet
Open your account through the academy's link and it's listed under us automatically — no transfer, no emails. Each broker has its own step-by-step guide with screenshots and its own sign-up button: follow the one for the broker you chose.
Ultima Markets — nine steps with screenshots
From sign-up to all three verification levels. Your details have to match at every step.
Open the sign-up page and create your account
Use the academy's button on this page. Sign up with your email or phone number, then choose your country of residence and enter your first name, a valid email and a strong password. Leave “Individual” selected, accept the terms, then press “Create Account”.
Enter the client portal and confirm your email
After sign-up you'll get an email titled “Client Portal Access” — open the client portal from it. A “Complete Your Profile” window opens: if you signed up with your phone number, type your email into it first. Press “Send OTP”, enter your login password in the “Security Authentication” window and press “Send OTP” again. An email titled “Email Verify Verification Code” arrives: copy the code into “Verify Your Email Address”, then press “Submit”. Slow to arrive? Check your junk folder.
Link your phone number — if you signed up by email
If you signed up with your email, you are asked to link a phone number once the email is confirmed: choose the right country code, enter a number you use, then press “Next”. This number becomes your login number, so keep it. If you signed up with your phone number, skip this step.
Complete your personal details
On “Fill In Your Personal Details” enter your name, gender, date of birth and nationality exactly as they appear on your identity document, then press “Submit”. An email confirms you have passed the first verification level.
Create the trading account
Press “Setup Account” and choose the MetaTrader 5 platform, the STANDARD account type and USD as the currency. Read the terms, tick the box, then press “Submit”. Check before you do: the account currency usually can't be changed afterwards.
Your account is ready — read-only for now
The account shows on the accounts page marked “Read Only”: you can deposit with crypto and sign in to MT5, while trading and withdrawals open once your identity and address are verified. Keep the account number and the server name.
Prove your identity — level two
An email reminds you to verify your identity — press “Complete Your Identity Verification” in it. Confirm your country of residence and then your details, choose the document's issuing country and type — an ID card (both sides), a residence permit, a passport or a driving licence — and upload a clear photo of the whole document, pressing “Continue” after each page. Once approved, trading and the other deposit methods open, and an email titled “New MT4/MT5 Live Account” arrives with your account number and both passwords.
Prove your address — level three
Go back to the client portal, open “Profile” and press “Verify Now” at level three. Confirm your country of residence and your details, then upload a bank statement, a utility bill or a proof of residence no more than six months old, in your name. Once it is approved, every withdrawal method opens.
Run through the checklist
Before you carry on: all three levels marked “Verified”, an MT5 account of the STANDARD type in USD, and your login details kept somewhere safe. Then deposit from the client portal with a method available where you are.
Vantage — nine steps with screenshots
Nine steps up to your first deposit, each with a screenshot from the Vantage portal. Your details have to match at every step — a country, phone number or document that don't match will hold up the review.
Open the sign-up page and create your account
Use the academy's button on this page. Keep the email option selected, choose your country of residence, and enter a valid email and a strong password. Choose “Individual”, then press Create account.
Confirm your email
You'll receive a six-digit code. Enter it in the boxes — if it's slow to arrive, check your junk folder. The code works once and is for you alone: don't share it with anyone.
Start verification
Once you're in the client portal, press “Verify now” in the top bar and choose to complete verification now rather than later.
Prove your identity
Upload a valid ID: the whole document, all four corners visible, no glare, no cropping, no editing. The details must match what you entered at sign-up exactly — any mismatch delays the review.
Link your phone number
Choose the right country code, enter a number that can receive messages, then confirm the code sent to it.
Open the live trading account
On the accounts page you may find an MT5 account already created — check it and use it. If there isn't one, press “Open account”. Note the account number and the server name — you'll use them to log in to the platform.
Choose the account settings
A live account, the MetaTrader 5 platform, the STANDARD STP type and USD as the currency. Check before you submit: the account currency usually can't be changed afterwards.
Make your deposit
On the deposits page, choose the right account, enter an amount within the limits shown, then pick a payment method available in your country and follow its instructions.
Run through the checklist
Before you carry on: the official sign-up page, a confirmed email and phone, clear documents, a live account set to STANDARD STP/USD, and your account details saved.
Path two — you already have an account
First move it under the academy. Pick your broker to see how — the transfer is subject to the broker's approval and policies.
Which broker is your account with?
Ultima's portal has no option to change your introducing broker — the transfer is one email from the address you registered with them. The message below is ready, with the academy's IB code, in the wording their team asks for.
What happens next
- You send the message from your registered email to info@ultimamarkets.com.
- Ultima's operations team verifies the request and processes it directly.
- Once the transfer is complete, the team confirms it to you by email.
The last step for both paths — link your account and request approval
Once your account is open or moved: three steps here on the platform, and the automatic check does the rest.
Find your account number
Ultima Markets: your trading account number (MT5) on the accounts page of the client portal, and in the “New MT4/MT5 Live Account” email. Vantage: the UID on your profile in the client portal.
Choose your broker and enter the number
In the “Link your account to the academy” card below these steps — or from your profile on the platform — choose Ultima Markets or Vantage and type the number, digits only.
Request approval
Press “Request approval” and your request shows as “Under review” until it is approved.
Approval is automatic — no need to contact support
- An automatic check runs once a day against the broker's records.
- If you meet the conditions, you're approved and your access opens automatically.
- If not, your request stays under review until you do — support can't approve it any sooner.
- Either broker counts: the conditions can be met on an account with either one.
Link your account to the academy
Sign in, then choose your broker and enter your account number so we can link your account to the academy.
The commission comes from the broker, not from you
What changes for you when your account is listed under us? Nothing. The broker pays the introducing commission out of its own share, and your account terms stay as they are.
What an active trader gets
Part of that commission comes back to you as access to the academy's tools and programmes — for anyone whose account is listed under us and trading.
The condition behind the benefits
The benefits aren't permanent: they need an account listed under us with real trading on it. When the trading stops, so do the benefits — and they come back when it resumes.
Questions
Common questions
Which of the two brokers should I choose?
Both list you under the academy automatically when you sign up through its link, and either one counts toward the conditions. Pick whichever suits you. If you already have a Vantage account listed under us, there's no need to change it.
I already have an Ultima Markets account — how do I move it under the academy?
With one email. In path two, choose Ultima Markets: the message is ready with the academy's IB code. Send it to info@ultimamarkets.com from the email you registered with them. Their operations team verifies and processes the request, then confirms the transfer by email.
Where do I find my Ultima Markets account number?
On the accounts page of the client portal, and in the “New MT4/MT5 Live Account” email that reaches you once your identity is approved.
Why does my Ultima Markets account show “Read Only”?
Because the verification levels are not complete yet: at level one you can deposit with crypto and sign in to MT5, proving your identity opens trading and the other deposit methods, and proving your address opens withdrawals.
Should I contact support to get my account approved?
No need. Approval is automatic: a daily check against the broker's records approves anyone who meets the conditions and opens their access. Until you meet them, the request stays under review — support can't approve it any sooner.
Do my pricing or account terms change if I'm listed under the academy?
No. The broker pays the introducing commission out of its own share; your spreads and account terms are exactly what they'd be otherwise.
Do you manage my account, or trade for me?
No. The academy teaches and nothing else — no money management, no personal recommendations, no access to your account.
What do you see of my account?
Only what the broker's introducing-broker records show: that the account is listed under us, its balance and its trading activity. We can't see your login details, and we can't trade or withdraw on your account.
Where do I find the UID of a Vantage account?
In the Vantage client portal: open your profile and the UID is shown there. Copy it exactly as it is, digits only.
Risk warning: trading forex and contracts for difference carries a high level of risk and can cost you your entire capital. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose. The academy is an educational provider — it gives no investment advice and manages no money.
