# Transfer positions between two subaccounts by RFQ

> Atomically transfers one or more derivative positions between a maker and a taker subaccount using matched, signed transfer quotes. Each side supplies its subaccount, signer, nonce, signature, expiry, max fee, direction, and priced legs (instrument, amount, price); the two quotes must mirror each other. Requires a session key with transfer permission and returns the resulting operation details.
