How to Open a Live Account

1. Create your login

Enter your details and choose a password to create your account.

2. Take our suitability test

This short questionnaire allows us to assess your suitability to trade derivative products. Simply answer seven questions and we'll provide your results instantly.

3. Confirm your ID

As a regulated broker, we are required to verify your identity. To do this, we'll need two ID documents from you – a photo ID(Passport,National Indentity card or Birth Certificate) and two proof of address documents( a bank statement or utility bill not older than 3 months or Tax Certificate showing address or Copy of current lease for primary residence)

The easiest way to upload these documents is to take a photo of the ID with your phone. Please note that we can't accept black and white images or scanned copies of your ID and, depending on where you’re from, we may require additional documentation.

If there are any issues with your application, we'll email you with clear instructions on what to do next. We're also available 24/5 on live chat to answer any questions you might have.

4. Fund and trade

Once your application is approved, you can log in and fund your account. If you’d like to discuss funding options or need help deciding how much to deposit, get in touch and we'll be happy to help.
