Multiple Spreadbet Accounts

[Stuuk1]

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:

All the best,
