Creating a US options account


alpen

Question

If I am logged in to my IG spread betting account on a browser and go to the My IG dashboard there is a large 'IG Tastytrade' button top right  inviting me to 'Add an Account' . If I click in this area it takes me right back to the IG dashboard. On the android app in the 'add account' area it says 'No accounts to display'. Other users on this forum have stated they are able to add an account on both the app and browser but it is not working for me.

In an email from IG I was invited to 'Create an options account'. Clicking this link takes me to the 'Sign up for a live trading account with IG and start trading' new customer page and unsurprisingly I can't create a new account as I am already an IG customer.

Is anyone else having this issue (existing customer unable to create Tastytrade US options and futures account under their current IG customer Id)?

Can someone at IG look into this?

Dear @alpen,

Thank you for your post.

You should be able to add a US options account from 'add an account' on your dashboard. Can you please confirm if you are also experiencing the same issue when using web trading platform?

Thanks,

Hello @KoketsoIG

Thanks for your response. I am experiencing the same issue on both the android app and the web trading platform (browser).

On the browser if I 'add an account' from the IG dashboard it takes me right back to the dashboard. The link expands to: https://www.ig.com/myig/goto/add_accounts?productCode=TASTYOPT but that page is not displayed, it immediately automatically redirects to https://www.ig.com/uk/myig/dashboard .

On the android app if I go to:
Account / Manage Accounts / Add an account
it just displays 'No accounts to display'

Hi @KoketsoIG

This occurs on different browsers (chrome & edge) on different devices (chromebook and windows 10 and windows 11). I have cleared all cookies and data and the same thing happens. I have also tried under 'incognito' mode (which uses totally fresh cookies etc) and the same thing happens. Also, the fact that I also can't create an account when logged in on my android app would indicate there is something wrong at the account level which needs looking at by IG. There is absolutely nothing I can do to get this working.

This has now been solved. I contacted IG via whatsapp and besides the above I mentioned that there was an old disabled spread betting account that was associated with my id - I suspected this might be causing the problem. They removed this account completely and voila! - now all is ok.

    • Price Increase: Over the last 24 hours, Litecoin (LTC) has increased by 4.5%, bringing its price to $70.26. Weekly Gain: This rise contributes to an overall gain of 8% over the past week, emphasizing the coin's positive momentum. Historical Context: With an all-time high of $410.26, investors are closely monitoring LTC as it approaches a crucial resistance zone.

Increased Trading Volume: Litecoin's trading volume has surged by 18% in the past week, reflecting increased market activity. Circulating Supply: The circulating supply has decreased slightly to 75.02 million coins, which is about 89.31% of its maximum supply.
