Each subaccount
  • Has its own set of exchange credentials
  • Maintains separate positions and order history
  • Can represent different strategies, clients, or portfolios

​
Use Cases

Fund Managers

Segregate client portfolios

Traders

Separate strategies (e.g., momentum vs. mean reversion)

Teams

Give team members isolated trading environments

​
Creating Subaccounts

​
Via the Dashboard

Go to Settings → Subaccounts in the dashboard.

​
Via the API

Creating, renaming, and deleting subaccounts requires a signed-in session, so these calls are made from the dashboard rather than with an API key. API keys can list subaccounts and trade on them:
API keys are scoped to reading and trading. Management operations — subaccounts, exchange credentials, API keys, and organization settings — return 403 human_session_required and must be performed in the dashboard. See Authentication.

​
Exchange Credentials

Each subaccount needs exchange credentials to trade. Add them via Settings → Subaccounts in the dashboard.
Credentials are encrypted using asymmetric encryption and are never stored in plain text. They are deleted when you delete the subaccount.

​
Credential Setup

Each exchange requires specific credentials:
  1. Create an account using email (not a wallet)
  2. Go to Settings → Export Private Key
  3. Copy your wallet address and private key
  4. Add them via the dashboard or API
