How to Use Sub-Wallets on Ouinex

Ouinex sub-wallets provide a flexible way to manage your funds and fine-tune your trading approach. Whether you want to separate your "Spot" holdings from your "Derivatives" or test a high-risk strategy alongside a conservative one, sub-wallets make it possible. Watch the video tutorial below or read the instructions below for how to use your sub-wallets on Ouinex.

1. Getting Started: Creating a New Wallet

To manage your sub-wallets, locate the wallet icon in the main menu. This shows your total account value and provides quick access to convert, deposit, and withdrawal functions.

How to Create: Click the Plus (+) icon in the wallet menu.
Naming: Give your wallet a clear name (e.g., "Spot," "Gold Strategy," or "High Risk").
Important Note: Currently, it is not possible to delete a wallet once it is created, so only create the number of wallets you actually need.

2. Moving Funds: Internal Transfers

Transferring capital between your sub-wallets is instantaneous and can be done for any currency you hold.

Select Transfer: In the wallet menu, click the Transfer button.
Choose Source & Destination: Select which wallets you are moving funds between (e.g., Main Wallet to Spot Wallet).
Amount & Currency: Enter the amount and confirm the transaction. Your new wallet balance will update immediately.

3. Managing Your Sub-Wallets

Each sub-wallet acts as its own trading environment:

Switching Wallets: To trade from a specific wallet, select it and click Switch. You are now connected to that specific balance.
Renaming: Use the pencil icon next to a wallet’s name to update its label at any time.
Direct Actions: You can convert, deposit, or withdraw funds directly from whichever wallet you are currently using.

4. Strategic Use Cases

The sub-wallet system isn't just for organization; it's a powerful tool for advanced trading:

Risk Management: Dedicate one wallet to "safe" long-term holdings and another to "high-risk" short-term trades to keep your capital exposure segregated.
Asset Tracking: Create a wallet specifically for a single asset (like Gold) to track its individual performance without it getting mixed into your total balance.
Varying Leverage: You can trade the same asset with different leverage levels simultaneously by using different sub-wallets.
Hedging (Long/Short): You can open a long position in one wallet and a short position in another for the same asset at the same time—perfect for trading short-term volatility while holding a long-term bias.

Key Risks You Should Understand:

Virtual assets (cryptocurrencies) can lose their value entirely and are subject to extreme volatility. You may lose your entire investment.
Government policy changes, including shutdowns, can cause severe and sudden market movements. Past market behavior does not predict future results.
Trading with leverage (derivatives, perpetuals) can result in losses exceeding your initial deposit. At high leverage, a small price movement can liquidate your entire position.
Crypto is not insured by government protections. If an exchange fails or is hacked, you may lose all funds.
Market liquidity can disappear during crises. You may not be able to exit positions at expected prices.
