    Why use subaccounts?

    Subaccounts allow you to separate trading activities under one main exchange account. This helps keep strategies, risk, and balances clearly organized.

    Typical ways traders use subaccounts

    Different strategies

    Example: one subaccount for manual trading, another for automated execution with Orderly.

    Different markets

    Example: BTC/USD in one subaccount, altcoin trading in another.

    Risk separation

    Allocate specific capital to a strategy so losses or experiments cannot affect the rest of your funds.

    Testing vs. production

    Use a dedicated subaccount to test new configurations before running them with larger capital.

    How Orderly benefits

    Using subaccounts lets you run multiple independent setups without interfering with each other. Each subaccount can have its own balances, open orders, and configuration.
