1) FTX lists lots of products. How do we avoid clutter?

3) To some extent there *is* clutter. But also we do things to reduce it. The biggest is margin.

4) FTX cross-margins *everything*. Spot, futures, FX, stocks, margin, prediction markets, perpetuals... This means that, when we add a type of product, we don't need a new 'zone' or wallet or liquidation point. It's all just in ftx.com/wallet.

5) FTX spot margin is super clean: You can deposit, and withdraw, and trade, as long as you don't go beyond your margin limits. You don't need to actively borrow or shuffle funds; that's automatic. And all our futures are on the same margin system.

6) If you *want* to split things out, you can do so however you want by using separate subaccounts. So while ftx.com/markets keeps growing, at least you don't need to manage 50 different wallets!

Subaccounts is clever. I didn't realize that.

Love the implementation of subaccounts on FTX. Using it currently to test strategies in production after backtesting. Easy to setup, generate keys and transfer funds. Great job 👍 Are sub-accounts 100% isolated? I had a minus balance for a couple of mins once on a liquidation
