3. Launch Metatrader 4 once again.
4. Open a new account.
   On the second step of opening a new account, the new server will be visible in the following list (screenshot attached). Then select the needed server.

In case you have certain charts based on your IBFX demo, you will need to switch to your Alpari account to open new charts. This issue can be also solved by using different profiles for different servers.
