How do I log in to my trading account?

When you created your trading account, you will have chosen a username and password. We will have sent both details to you in separate emails.

Use these details to log in to Web Trader, our web-based platform, or mobile trading apps. One set of login details will give you access to all the platforms your account supports. If you opened a MetaTrader account, you will have received separate log in details.

To log in on Web Trader, click here. To log in on our mobile trading apps, simply open the application and enter your details when prompted.

To log in to My Account, your trading account management portal, click here.

I am unable to log in to my trading account

If you have entered your password incorrectly five times, your trading account may be locked. Please request to reset your password using the password reset link.

If you have not accessed your trading account for 24 months or more, you will need to reactivate it. You can reactivate your account here.

I forgot my username and password. How do I retrieve them?

If you forgot your username, please contact us for assistance. If you forgot your password, please click here and fill in your username and email. You’ll then receive an email with a link to reset your password.

How do I change my password (Live trading accounts only)?

If you wish to change your password, you can do so from within My Account by clicking the ‘Profile’ tab and then ‘Change Password’ on the left side of the page. 

I received a password resest email that I didn't request. What should I do?

If you’ve received a password reset email that you didn’t request, your trading account may have been compromised, so please contact us immediately.

I received a password reset confirmation email but didn't change my password. What should I do?

If you’ve received an email confirming that your password has been changed and you didn't change it, someone may have fraudulently accessed your account, if so please contact us immediately. 

If you’re unable to contact us immediately, please secure your trading accounts by changing your email account password right away. Then use the forgotten password functionality to reset your password.

How do I reactivate my trading account?

After you submit the short form, a member of our Trading account management team will be in touch to let you know if we need anything further from you or to let you know when your trading account has been reopened.
