Custodial sub-account rules

What is a custodial sub-account?

It is a type of sub-account designed to meet investors' asset management needs by allowing users to entrust their funds to a professional delegated trader.

Investors can entrust their custodial sub-accounts to professional delegated traders to profit from their professional trading services. The delegated trader can trade from the custodial sub-accounts while maintaining the privacy of their trading strategies. The trading volume generated from the custodial sub-accounts will be credited to the delegated trader's account to increase their VIP level and allow them to enjoy better fee rates.
