Your account area
Everything that is not the trading terminal: money, documents, history and access settings.
After signing in you land in an interface that combines the terminal with the service sections. Here is what sits where, and what deserves attention immediately.
The main sections
What to set up on day one
Two-factor authentication. This is the one setting that genuinely protects the account if your password leaks. It lives in the security section and takes a minute.
Check your profile details. Name and address must match your documents, or verification will come back for corrections.
Switch to demo. Before depositing anything, get comfortable with the interface on virtual money.
Switching between accounts
Live and demo share one interface. Convenient, but it introduces a risk: confusing the two is easy, particularly on a phone. Check which account you are in before every session — the balance indicator shows it.
If you lose access
Recovery runs through the email address used at registration. Which makes that inbox worth protecting as carefully as the account itself: access to it means access to the money.
Signing in from a new device or a different country may trigger an additional confirmation request. That is the security system behaving normally, not a fault.
Trade history is underrated
Most traders open it only to see the result. It is, however, the sole objective record of your own trading: which hours of the day you get wrong more often, on which assets, at which expiry lengths.
Exporting a month of history and working through it is more useful than reading a dozen articles about strategy.
How to read your trade history
The section most people open only to see the outcome, when it should be an analytical tool. The minimum set of breakdowns:
| Breakdown | What it reveals |
|---|---|
| By hour of day | When you decide better. Evening trades frequently prove worse than morning ones |
| By asset | Losses usually concentrate in two or three instruments rather than spreading evenly |
| By expiry length | Accuracy almost always rises with longer expiries |
| By stake size | If larger stakes lose more, that is chasing rather than strategy |
The last breakdown is the least comfortable and the most useful. It measures not analytical quality but the state of your discipline.
Security settings in detail
Two-factor authentication. Enabled in the security section. Afterwards, signing in requires a code from an authenticator app — knowing the password is not enough.
Active sessions. The list of devices signed in. Worth reviewing periodically and terminating anything you do not recognise, particularly after using somebody else’s computer.
Password changes. The password should be unique. If it matches your email or a social account, a breach anywhere opens the trading account too.
After anything suspicious the order is: change the password → terminate all sessions → check whether the payment details in your profile have been altered. The third step is the one most often skipped.
Mobile app versus browser
Functionally they are close, but they affect trading differently. The app is always to hand, and that invites trades at unsuitable moments — on transport, in a queue, before sleep.
If you trade from both, compare accuracy across the two groups. There is usually a gap, and it comes not from the interface but from the circumstances in which the decision gets made.
Frequently asked questions
How do I recover access to my account?
Recovery runs through the email address used at registration, which makes that inbox worth protecting as carefully as the account itself — access to it effectively means access to the money. Two-factor authentication adds a second barrier should your password leak.
How do I switch between demo and live?
Switching happens in the same interface, next to the balance. Convenient, but it makes confusing the two easy, particularly on a phone. Make a habit of checking the balance indicator before every session.
What is trade history useful for?
It is the only objective record of your own trading: which hours you get wrong more often, on which assets, at which expiries. Working through a month of your own history yields more than reading articles about strategy.
The platform asked for extra confirmation at sign-in — is that normal?
Yes, if you signed in from a new device or a different country. That is the security system behaving as designed, not a fault or a sign of a problem with the account.
What should I set up immediately after registering?
Two-factor authentication — it defends against the most common route to a lost account. Then check that your name and address match your documents, or verification will come back for correction. Funding comes after both.
