How many trading accounts can I create at once?

Quick answer

Up to 100 trading accounts per request, as long as you have enough credits. To create more, submit several requests. Each account uses one credit, and the request is refused as a whole if there are not enough credits for the quantity you asked for.

Detailed answer

Bulk creation is how firms keep account delivery instant.

Why create in bulk

  • Instant delivery: an account is ready the moment a sale arrives.
  • Fewer steps: one action instead of one per sale.
  • Automation: your checkout can assign pre-created accounts over the API.

Planning inventory

Estimate sales per account size for the next week or month, and keep that many unassigned accounts ready. Top up when stock runs low.

Credits and bulk requests

A request for 100 accounts needs 100 credits. If you have 60, the request is refused with a message showing the 60 remaining and the 100 requested, so nothing is half-created.

Worked example

A firm launching three sizes expects 50 sales of each in its first month. It creates 50 accounts of each type, using 150 credits, and assigns them as sales come in. Unassigned accounts at the end of the month simply wait for the next sales; their credits are already used, and nothing expires.

Over the API

Assigning traders to existing accounts is available over the API today. Creating accounts over the API is planned, so bulk creation currently happens in the admin panel.
