I requested a completely new ID on a Monday and recovered an older unused ID on the following Wednesday. Both requests went to the same contact. The new ID arrived with three short questions and a final set of credentials. The recovery of the older ID asked for the registered number and then issued a temporary code. Both processes finished inside the same afternoon they began.
The new ID opened to a zero balance and an empty history. The recovered ID opened to the same zero balance but showed the older transaction list. The presence of the old history was the only lasting difference. Login speed and market access looked identical on both accounts.
What the recovery path required
The temporary code for the older ID expired after a short window. I entered it immediately and set a new password. The new ID path required no code and no password reset. The extra step on the recovery side was noticeable but still short. I used matchexch9 new id only for the fresh request and kept the recovered account separate.
A quiet check of both accounts on the same evening
I logged into each account once and confirmed that deposits and settlements would appear in the correct history. A small test amount placed on the new ID stayed only on that account. The recovered ID remained untouched. The separation stayed clean.
Short replies when I described the two paths
I mentioned completing both a new request and a recovery within the same week. Two people answered that they had chosen one or the other depending on whether they wanted a clean history. One said the new ID felt lighter. Another preferred the recovered ID because the old records were still useful. The comments stayed limited to the practical difference.
One decision that followed the comparison
I kept the new ID for ordinary use and left the recovered ID closed. The empty history removed any urge to review old numbers. The recovered account remains available but is no longer part of the daily routine.
Starting fresh and recovering an older account both produced working logins inside a short time. The only lasting difference sat in the presence or absence of previous records. Once that distinction was clear the choice between the two paths became a matter of preference rather than necessity. The markets remained the reason to open either account and the unused one stayed closed.
