# Sub-accounts

Separate accounts under your wallet for different strategies.

A sub-account is a separate trading account under your main account. It has its own balance, positions and orders, so you can keep strategies apart, for example a swing account and a scalping account.

## Creating a sub-account

Open the account menu: click the **account name above your balance** (for example *Main account ▾*) or the **person icon** in the top bar. Click **+** next to *Sub-accounts*, give it a nickname and confirm. You can create up to 10 sub-accounts.

{% hint style="info" %}
Nicknames are 1–20 characters long. Letters, numbers, spaces and `@ , _ -` are allowed. You can rename a sub-account later with the pencil icon.
{% endhint %}

## Switching accounts

Open the same account menu and click the account you want to trade with. The active account is marked **Current**, and its name is shown above your balance.

## Moving funds between accounts

Deposits and withdrawals always go through your **main account**. To fund a sub-account, use **Transfer**: choose the account to send from, the asset and the amount, and the account to send to.

Unsettled PnL has to be settled before it can be transferred. The transfer window shows it and offers **Settle**.

## Good to know

* Every account has its own margin — a position on one account cannot be liquidated because of losses on another.
* All accounts belong to your wallet. Only you can move funds between them.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sigsig.xyz/core-concepts/sub-accounts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
