Sub-accounts are a powerful feature that enable to you to trade through multiple accounts. Sub-accounts are separate from your "Main" account. Each sub-account on Delta Exchange has independent balances, margin and positions and can trade independently. This make sub-accounts helpful in isolating positions, margin or access. Sub-accounts can be used by a single trader to run multiple strategies independently or by a firm with multiple traders, with each trader having its own sub-account.
