Thanks for that jlz! I think I'll explore the option this week. Mind if I ask what fees you'd have to pay eg do you pay a fee for real time market access data? I know IB has an inactivity fee but its manageable and to be honest, not too bad for what they offer. Thanks again!

Sorry, looks like my account is locked for some reason.. so created a backup Hi jlz, I read alpaca had no minimum deposit for live personal accounts but you're right that its not available for UK citizens... which answers the last question, I'm actually in the UK. Sadly this does mean alpaca won't be a suitable alternative. There's still Interactive Brokers and TD Ameritrade but I've already developed my system for IG's API so I'd rather not move if a fix was on its way. I've bugged a bunch of their devs via LinkedIn, hopefully someone fixes the problem. I did find a workaround that works but its very ugly involving switching back and forth between the spreadbet and CFD account...

I'm seeing this issue too...

Hi, This setting is ALWAYS a pain to find for some reason... here's what worked for me: 1. Open one of the accounts (CFD/Spreadbet) in the old platforman using the dropdown 2. Click the Account button on the top right 3. Set one of the accounts as a default Hope that helps. Apologies for the lack of screenshots, it looks like once its set, the dropdown disappears. Good luck!
