2 Accounts at Mtgox

[michaelexeter]

Apologies if this has already been asked...

Can I set up two accounts at mtgox?

I already have one in GBP (i'm from UK) which I have some longish term investments in..

I now want one to day trade in USD...

Can i have two accounts linked, or will I have to set up an entire new fresh one (and can i have two accounts under my name?)

A single account can have a wallet in each currency.  Simply click the icon for which currency wallet to use.

To transfer funds from GBP to USD or vice-versa is as easy as buying bitcoins with one and selling in the second currency.

Mt. Gox terms prohibit multiple login accounts, and since they can ask for AML verification at any time, it is not recommended that you chance it just because they allow small value accounts without verification.

Stephen is correct, but he hasn't explained how you add other currencies. To add another currency to your account, you need to go into your MtGox settings and change your main currency to the new one (e.g. USD). You will now have a new wallet in this currency. Then, change it back to your preferred (e.g. GBP). You can activate every single currency this way if you wish. Once done, you will always be able to trade in this currency in the future. I have access to GBP, EUR and USD wallets by using this method.
