A sub-account is a secondary account connected to your OKX account. You can create multiple sub-accounts to diversify your trading strategies and reduce risks. Sub-accounts can be used for spot, spot leverage, contract trading, and deposits for standard sub-accounts, but activities such as withdrawals and buy/sell crypto are not allowed.
Standard sub-account: you can separate your funds to run different trading strategies by depositing and transferring funds into your sub-account. However, you're not allowed to perform withdrawals.
