Open an account
An email address and a password are enough. A few questions follow, on how long you have traded
leveraged products and how many trades you have placed in the last twelve months. Depending on
your answers, the leverage offered to you can be capped and large orders can ask for a
confirmation. You also accept the risk warning: CFDs are leveraged instruments and you can lose
money quickly.

Choose paper or live
A paper account starts with play money and trades at real prices, with nothing at risk. A live
account trades real money. You switch between the two at any time, from the top of the screen.
See Accounts.

Before a first deposit: confirm your email and turn on two-factor
Two steps protect the money before it arrives. The confirmation link is sent to the address you
registered with, is valid for 24 hours, and only the last one sent works. Two-factor
authentication is a code from an authenticator app, on top of the password, before money can
move. A passkey, your device’s own lock, can stand for the code. See Security.

Deposit
Money comes in by card, on the payment provider’s page, or from a crypto wallet of yours, in USDC,
USDT or a network’s own coin. It lands on your main account, which holds your cash and places
no orders. See Deposits.
5
Move the money to a trading account
Orders are placed from a trading account linked to your main account. Once a deposit is credited,
use Move money to send some of it there. You can open more trading accounts, each in its own
currency and with its own margin mode.
6
Set your leverage
In the settings, Leverage by asset class holds one leverage per class: crypto, forex, stocks,
indices and commodities. A new account starts at 1:10 on crypto. Each instrument also has its own
cap. See Leverage and margin.
7
Place a first order
Pick an instrument, a direction and a size, read the fee, the spread, the margin and the
liquidation price on the ticket, and confirm. See Placing orders.
