Strategy Isolation Pattern

1. Create a subaccount per strategy (e.g., "grid-btc", "dca-eth").
2. Allocate capital to each subaccount.
3. Configure separate API keys per subaccount with minimum required permissions.
4. Each agent operates only within its assigned subaccount.
5. The main account retains reserve capital not allocated to any strategy.

Monitoring

Check all balances from the main account to see aggregate state. Individual subaccount balances are visible through their respective API keys.

For centralized monitoring, use the main account's credentials with query permissions across subaccounts.

Hard Rules

• Subaccount transfers are flagged as dangerous. Never execute without explicit human approval.
• Never share API keys across subaccounts; create separate keys per subaccount.
• Verify IIBAN values before initiating transfers; incorrect IIBANs will fail.
• Disable futures trading on subaccounts that should not trade futures.
