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.

    • after last weeks sell off'  a chart showing price in a possible discount & at a previous level of interest 
    • Solana ($SOL) is facing a challenging period in the market, with its price dropping to $130.56 USD. Here’s a closer look at what’s happening and what might be next for SOL. Recent Price Decline 15.17% Drop in a Month: Over the past month, Solana coin has fallen by 15.17%. This decline reflects the broader market’s pressure on the cryptocurrency. 8.5% Weekly Fall: Just this week, Solana saw an 8.5% drop, a sign that bears are firmly in control. Despite attempts to maintain a bullish outlook, the market seems to have different plans. Critical Support Levels Breakdown of $134 Support: Recently, SOL broke through the $134 support level, raising concerns that further declines could be on the way. Key Support at $122: The $122 level is now under the spotlight. This price point has been tested six times, and many whales view it as crucial. A break below this could push SOL towards $90. But if this support holds, it might set the stage for a bullish turnaround. $100 Support: While the $100 support level is still a bit distant, it’s essential to watch if the current bearish momentum continues. Revisiting this level could spell trouble for Solana. Changing Market Sentiment Shift to Bearish: The overall sentiment around Solana is slowly turning bearish. Since March, SOL has struggled to make new highs, and the current price action suggests that new lows could be coming. Potential Bullish Outcome: However, some analysts believe that if Solana manages to stay above $122 throughout 2024 and 2025, it could be incredibly bullish for the future, possibly leading to significant gains in 2025. Upcoming Breakpoint Event Historical Price Surges: There’s a potential catalyst on the horizon. Historically, Solana has seen price surges two weeks before its annual Breakpoint event. In previous years, SOL surged by 35% in 2021 and 2022, and by 60% in 2023. 2024 Event: With 16 days left until the 2024 Breakpoint event, could we see another rally? Only time will tell. The Importance of $122 Support As Solana approaches the $122 support level, all eyes are on whether it will hold. A break below could lead to further declines, while maintaining this support could bring back some bullish momentum. As always, stay informed, and remember the old adage in crypto: "buy the rumor, sell the news." Keep watching the charts as we near the 2024 Breakpoint event.

In February, the fund reached an all-time high valuation of over $543 million, coinciding with broader market uptrends. The Protection Fund's portfolio includes high-liquidity cryptocurrencies such as BTC, USDT, and USDC, which contributes to its stability and liquidity. This diversification strategy aims to mitigate risks associated with external market factors. Bitget's approach of self-funding and internally managing the Protection Fund allows for potentially quicker response times in critical situations, as it operates independently of external regulations and approvals. As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, the performance and management of such security measures will likely remain a point of interest for both users and industry observers.
