Interactive Welcome Guide

Thank you for opening an account with TD Direct Investing.

All the tools you need to trade online are now at your fingertips.

Account Number

Your Account Number is usually given to you at the end of your account opening process, but can also be found on your Account Confirmation letter.

Login Password

Your Login Password will have been sent to you within 2 hours of opening your account, or within 2 working days if you opted to receive it by post.

How To Login

• Visit our website tdwaterhouse.co.uk and click the Secure Login box in the top right of the screen.
• At the next screen you will be asked for your Username or Account Number (which are the same thing) and three randomly selected characters from your Login Password. If you haven't already done so, you will be prompted to change your password to something more memorable. (Remember, to keep your details safe, do not share your log in details with anyone).
• When you have successfully logged in, you will see your Welcome Page. From here, you can navigate around your account with ease.

How To Trade

• Login to your account, select Trading and click on "Place an Order". Choose your market. As well as trading in the UK, a Trading Plus Account allows you to deal in 17 international markets, so there's plenty to choose from, right around the clock. When you go to this page, you can see which markets are open for business.
• Choose a stock you want to trade in. If you already know the symbol, just type it in. If not, use our Symbol Lookup feature to find it for you.
• Finally, choose your order type. This tells us how you want your trade to be executed for you.

Demos

• Order Types help you keep control of your investments in times when you cannot constantly monitor prices. Learn more about the different order types using ouronline demos.
