Sub-accounts could be handy, for instance to keep different trading algos in a separate place. Or let's say, if you're trading on behalf of a friend or relative who doesn't have the time or the knowledge. Or if you are an entity trading on behalf of your clients. The use cases and examples could be many more.

Gate.io policy is different than that of Binance.com with regards to having sub accounts.

So today I went checking what's Gate.io featuring with regards to those sub-accounts.
