Sub Accounts: How do they work?

Sub-accounts are a powerful feature that enable to you to trade through multiple accounts. Sub-accounts are separate from your "Main" account. Each sub-account on Delta Exchange has independent balances, margin and positions and can trade independently. This make sub-accounts helpful in isolating positions, margin or access. Sub-accounts can be used by a single trader to run multiple strategies independently or by a firm with multiple traders, with each trader having its own sub-account.

Sub-account Features

  • Sub-accounts can be created with or without their own email
    • Sub-accounts with their own email can be accessed like any other account
    • Sub-accounts without their own email can be accessed through the Main account or through the sub-account API keys
  • Each sub-account is independent, in the sense that it has its own balances, deposit addresses, whitelisted withdrawal addresses, API keys and security settings
  • Sub-accounts inherit the Verification and VIP levels of the Main account
  • Transfers of balances between sub-accounts are instantaneous and free of charge
  • Portfolio margin can be enabled only on a single coin per account/ sub-account. By leveraging the sub-accounts feature, portfolio margined positions can be run on multiple coins
  • The Main account holder has full administrative control over the sub-account. They can enable/ disable 2FA and withdrawals
Note: Sub accounts cannot claim offers or have trading credits
