For some reason, when I try to use Zorro with the Mt4 bridge, I get the error: TradeTest Login 0 MT4/5 (demo).. !Can't initialize bridge! Check account number xxxxxx Can't connect! If I select REAL in the account dropdown list, it works (but I can't really do any tests since the balance limitations). TradeTest Login 0 MT4/5 (demo)... !Ava Trade Ltd. connected !Real account not supported at UTC 02-06 18:07 Load AssetsFix It looks like Zorro sees the account as a Real one and not as a Demo one. Any help on how to fix the issue? Thanks.

Since the 'demo only' version of the bridge can not trade with real accounts, you need to open a true demo account. You can open any number of demo accounts directly in MT4 by selecting File / Open an Account.
