Creating a sub-account on OKX

A sub-account is a secondary account linked to your main OKX account. It lets you separate funds and strategies. For Mantix it's convenient to create a dedicated sub-account, move the trading amount to it, and issue an API key for it.

Sub-account types

• Standard sub-account. You can configure trading and fund it via transfers from the main account. Good for trading strategies and algorithmic trading — what you want for Mantix.
• Managed trading sub-account. For delegating management to a professional trading team. Not needed for Mantix.

Step-by-step

Step 1. Open the sub-accounts section

Sign in to OKX on the web. Click the profile icon and choose Sub-accounts.

Step 2. Create a sub-account

Click + Create sub-account.

Step 3. Fill in the data

• Login name.
• Password.
• Account type — choose Standard sub-account.

Step 4. Confirm

Click Submit, then enter and confirm the 2FA code. The sub-account is created.

Step 5. (Optional) Enable quick switching

In the Sub-accounts section you can enable the Switchable option for a sub-account — then you can switch to it from the profile menu without a separate login. You can also sign in to the sub-account with its login and password on the OKX login page.

Step 6. Transfer funds to the sub-account

Move the trading amount to the sub-account. Transfers between main and sub-accounts are free.

Step 7. Create an API key for the sub-account

Create the sub-account's API key and connect it to Mantix following Connect OKX via API (Read + Trade rights, no withdrawal, with Passphrase and Mantix IP binding).

Useful to know

• Sub-accounts inherit the trading level (fees) of the main account; the level updates daily.
• Regular users (Lv1–Lv5) can create up to 5 sub-accounts; VIPs get higher limits.
• You can sign in to a sub-account with its login and password on OKX web and mobile.
