How and why to create additional accounts in the HUB (OANDA Corporation)

Potentially diversifies your risk:

You can use different accounts to use different trading strategies. Additional accounts allow you to allocate your funds into different currencies.

ECP account holders can also hedge or diversify currency rate risk. If hedging is enabled, they can simultaneously hold long and short positions in the same instrument.

Segregates your trades:

If one account undergoes a margin closeout, your trades in other accounts are not affected.

Creates an MT4 account:

This account is required to trade on the MetaTrader 4 interface.

Potential savings on fees:

You can save on deposit and withdrawal fees or third-party currency exchange charges for certain currencies.
