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

  1. Log in to your main account on the exchange

  2. Go to "Sub-accounts" section (usually in the profile menu)

  3. Click "Create Sub-account"

  4. Enter a meaningful sub-account name

  5. Configure access rights if needed

  6. 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:

  1. Switch to the required sub-account in the exchange interface

  2. Go to "API Management" section

  3. Create keys with necessary permissions (trading, balance viewing)

  4. 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.
