Sub-Accounts Tutorial

Comprehensive Guide on Using Managed Sub-Accounts on BSX

Unlock smarter trading with Sub-Accounts!

At BSX, we’re bridging the feature parity gap between CEXs and DEXs by bringing centralized exchange features on-chain, starting with Sub-Accounts! Take control of your trading strategies like a pro: use your main account for high-leverage trades (up to 1000x), while Sub-Accounts offer safer, controlled trading with limited features. It’s the perfect solution for separating strategies and managing risk, all on one seamless platform.

Key Benefits:

• Manage your a team of traders by segregating them across different accounts

• Sub-accounts are not able to see information on the master account or other sub-accounts giving you maximum privacy when managing multiple accounts

• Separate Main & Sub-Accounts for better control across different trading strategies

• Run multiple portfolio margined strategies from the same master account

• Sub-Accounts let you trade across all pairs on BSX, focusing on Perpetual Trading with up to 50x leverage.

• Fast switching between different accounts allowing you to control your sub-accounts with speed

• Maximum control across all sub-accounts with account freeze and account transfer functionalities
