Multiple Spreadbet Accounts


Stuuk1

Question

Hi,

 

I currently have a single spreadbet account where I generally use DFB for long positions and then Futures for Short positions on indices.

 

Id like to use DFB for both long and short positions on the same indices... But I can't do this on a single account.

 

Can anyone please tell me if I am able to open a 2nd Spreadbet account and do this?

 

Thanks

Hi @Stuuk1,

You can open a long and short position on the same market by making sure the ‘force open’ option is selected on your deal ticket.

If you can’t see the ‘force open’ option please navigate to ‘settings’ on the left, and make sure ‘show force open in ticket’ is switched on.

You won’t be able to have long and short positions on the same market if you’ve attached guaranteed stops to both sides of the deal. 

Alternatively, if you wish to set up 2 accounts, you can do that as well. To open an additional Spreadbet account, Simply login to My IG. Click one of the ‘add an account’ links on the dashboard and then choose the account you want from the pop-up.

Attached are the screenshots for your reference:

    • The recent controversy surrounding Kucoin executives reignites the debate on the regulation of centralized exchanges. Many argue that without proper oversight, preventing fraud on these platforms becomes exceedingly difficult. While some may resist government intervention, the persistence of fraudulent activities prompts us to question how long we can turn a blind eye. Despite reservations about figures like Gary Gensler, it's crucial to recognize the potential benefits of regulatory bodies like the SEC. The specter of another FTX-like incident looms large, with potential market ramifications given Kucoin's size. The recent sentencing of SBF, the former FTX founder, to 25 years in prison, serves as a stark reminder of the necessity for regulatory action to ensure long-term transparency and accountability. While decentralized exchanges offer an alternative, they are not without their own risks. This underscores the case for comprehensive regulation. However, recent events, such as the Nigerian government's request for user data from Binance, raise legitimate concerns about user privacy and governmental overreach. Can exchanges operate without incident for decades? Can we build a future where users feel genuinely confident and secure in their transactions? These are pressing questions that demand thoughtful consideration as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of crypto exchanges.
    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
