What is a Sub Account?

At Delta Exchange India, we understand that trading strategies can often be complex — especially when you’re managing multiple positions, testing new strategies, or trying to hedge your exposure. That’s why we’ve introduced the Sub-Account feature — a powerful tool designed to give you more control and flexibility over your trading activity.

Let’s walk you through everything you need to know about it.

? What is a Sub-Account?

A Sub-Account is like an account within your main Delta Exchange account. It’s a separate trading environment that allows you to execute trades independently of your primary account — without needing to register a new account or go through the KYC process again.

It functions almost like a standalone account but is completely linked to your main account, giving you seamless access and fund management.

? Key Benefits of Sub-Accounts

Here are some of the main advantages of using sub-accounts:

✅ No Additional KYC Required

Once your main account is KYC-verified, there’s no need to submit your documents again. You can create and start using a sub-account right away.

? Easy Fund Transfers

You can transfer funds from your main account to a sub-account, and also move them back anytime. This makes capital management fast and convenient.

? However, please note: You cannot directly withdraw funds from a sub-account. All withdrawals must be made from the main account.

? Independent Trading

Sub-accounts allow you to take independent positions from your main account. Each sub-account has its own margin balance, open orders, and positions  enabling you to test new strategies or isolate trades easily.

⚙️ How Can You Use a Sub-Account?

Sub-accounts are incredibly useful for various trading purposes, especially when it comes to futures trading.

? Example: Hedging Futures Positions

Let’s say you are trading BTC futures. In your main account, you hold a long position (expecting the price to rise). But at the same time, you believe there might be a short-term drop and want to hedge against this.

Using a sub-account, you can open a short position on BTC without disturbing your original trade. This setup is ideal for:

• Hedging: Protecting your capital against short-term price movements
• Risk Management: Isolating risk across strategies
• Strategy Testing: Running multiple strategies in parallel
• Team/Portfolio Separation: Using different sub-accounts for different users or goals

?‍? Who Should Use Sub-Accounts?

Sub-accounts are ideal for:

• Advanced traders who want to diversify strategies
• Institutional traders who manage multiple positions or clients
• Individuals testing out new trading systems without affecting their main portfolio
• Risk-averse users looking to hedge and avoid liquidating their main position

? Getting Started is Easy

1. Log in to your Delta Exchange account

2. Go to Profile > Sub-Accounts

3. Click “Create Sub-Account”

4. Fund your sub-account from the main account and start trading independently

? 2FA is Mandatory

Before you can create a sub-account, you must enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your main account. This extra layer of security ensures your account and assets remain protected.

?️ Final Thoughts

The Sub-Account feature is an excellent way to take your trading to the next level. Whether you’re hedging your trades, organizing your portfolio better, or simply exploring new strategies, sub-accounts offer a clean and controlled environment to do it all.

And the best part? No additional KYC, easy fund transfers, and total trading independence.
