👥Subaccounts

These are additional accounts linked to your main one. They help you separate trading strategies, manage risks, and provide traders with access without sharing your main account.

Types of Subaccounts

“Personal” type — an additional account linked to your existing account. You can create several subaccounts to test trading strategies and reduce risks.

“Managed” type — an additional account created under your main account, which allows you to:

  • retain full control over your assets;

  • split investment portfolios;

  • grant traders access only to trading via API keys.

⚠️ Important! Withdrawals are not available for this type. Only the main account owner can perform withdrawal operations for funds held in such accounts. For “Managed” accounts, you can set up a separate login and password for access.

The account type (Personal or Managed) cannot be changed after creation.

How to reset a subaccount password? Through the “Change password” modal: … → Settings → Change password for subaccount → confirm in the modal.

Can a subaccount configure its own Risk Manager? Yes. The Risk Manager of the main account and the subaccount are independent. We are also working on enabling centralized Risk Manager configuration for “Managed” accounts from the main account, disabling control from the subaccount side.

Which pages are available to a subaccount?

  • Wallet

  • Orders and Positions

  • Commissions

  • History

  • Trader’s Journal (Dashboard, Summary, My Trades)

  • Risk Manager

Can a subaccount transfer funds by itself? No. Subaccounts have no access to Deposit, Transfer, or Withdrawal pages. If you need to top up a subaccount balance, this can only be done via the main account.

Will there be a fee for transfers between subaccounts in Tiger X mode?

  • If the transfer is between X OKX main account and X OKX subaccount (and vice versa) or between X Binance main account and X Binance subaccount (and vice versa) — no fee.

Referral Program Specifics

  • If a user creates a Personal sub-account, the referral conditions of the main account apply.

    • Example: If the main account is a referral, the Personal sub-account will receive the same benefits as the main account. The partner (referrer) will also receive rewards both from the main account and its Personal sub-accounts.

  • If a user creates a Managed sub-account, it follows the referral principle (parent = partner, sub = referral).

    • Example: If the main account is a referral, then the Managed sub-account becomes a referral of the main account itself. Such a sub-account has no connection to the main account’s partner.

  • Sub-accounts are not supported in the Team program.
