Exchange Sub-accounts
What Are Sub-accounts
Sub-accounts are separate trading accounts within your main exchange account. Each works independently: it has its own balance, orders, positions, and trading history. All sub-accounts are managed through the main account.
Why Use Sub-accounts
Strategy separation — run different algorithms on separate accounts without mutual interference
Risk management — limit potential losses within a single sub-account
Convenient accounting — track statistics for each strategy separately
Testing — test new algorithms without affecting main capital
Team collaboration — provide different traders access to your sub-accounts
How to Create a Sub-account
Log in to your main account on the exchange
Go to "Sub-accounts" section (usually in the profile menu)
Click "Create Sub-account"
Enter a meaningful sub-account name
Configure access rights if needed
Fund the sub-account through internal transfer from the main account
API Keys for Sub-accounts
Important: each sub-account requires separate API keys. Main account keys will not work.
Creating Keys for a Sub-account:
Switch to the required sub-account in the exchange interface
Go to "API Management" section
Create keys with necessary permissions (trading, balance viewing)
Use these keys in MoonTrader to connect to the sub-account
Fund Management
Transfers between the main account and sub-accounts are instant and commission-free:
Funding sub-account — transfer funds from the main account
Withdrawing profits — move earnings back to the main account
Redistribution — move capital between sub-accounts
Benefits of Using Sub-accounts
✅ Risk isolation — losses from one algorithm don't affect others
✅ Clear reporting — see results of each strategy separately
✅ Flexible management — quickly stop unprofitable strategies
✅ Scalability — add new strategies without reworking existing ones
Sub-accounts are a professional tool for structured trading. They allow efficient management of multiple strategies simultaneously, control risks, and analyze results.
