# Create Transfer

<mark style="color:blue;">**`POST`**</mark> `https://api.sfox.com/v1/account/transfer`

Transfer funds between your account's trading and collateral wallets.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Hedge long positions:** Transfer funds to your collateral wallet so you can open a short position on the same currency in your trading wallet.
{% endhint %}

Transfers from your collateral wallet to your trading wallet will automatically settle unsettled positions, if applicable, first. The remainder, if any, will be applied to your trading wallet.
