Create a Bybit Standard Subaccount

What you are doing

You are creating a separate trading environment inside the Bybit Main Account. Each running HEDGERON bot should use its own dedicated subaccount.

Why it matters

Separation makes capital, positions, permissions and reconciliation easier to control. It also prevents unrelated strategies from consuming the same margin.

Before you start

Step by step

01Open the Subaccount area from the Bybit account menu.
02Choose Create and select Standard Subaccount.
03Enter a clear nickname that identifies the HEDGERON engine.
04Keep the account in the supported Unified Trading Account configuration.
05Confirm the creation and switch into the new Standard Subaccount.

What you should see

The new account appears in your Subaccount list and can be selected with Account Switch. Bybit states that a Standard Subaccount is distinct from a Custodial Trading Subaccount.

Security check

The API key created later must belong to this Standard Subaccount. HEDGERON rejects Main Account credentials.

Common problems

The subaccount is not visible

Check whether Account Switch is enabled and whether the subaccount is frozen.

The wrong account type was created

Do not connect it. Create a Standard Subaccount instead.

Next step

Transfer the selected bot capital to the new subaccount.
