What Are Subaccounts

Each subaccount on FTX has independent balances, margin, and positions, and can trade independently.  Subaccounts are useful for isolating positions, margin, or access.

You can create, delete, and edit subaccounts at ftx.com/subaccounts.

You can also transfer any funds between subaccounts instantly there.

Note that if you do a withdrawal from your wallet to any other FTX account--including one of your other subaccounts--itll be processed instantly off-chain.
