Simpler Than Copy Trading? Follow Top Traders on OKX with One Click and Let Them Earn for You

Whether in traditional finance or the cryptocurrency market, strategy trading is a very important and crucial method in the trading system. When facing complex trading environments and extreme market conditions, even with solid theoretical knowledge and extensive trading experience, it's easy to miss trading opportunities or make wrong judgments and operations due to emotional influence. Strategy trading is an effective tool that can solve these problems.

However, how to use trading tools is also a major challenge. Previously, OKX launched the Strategy Marketplace, allowing users to directly copy strategies to solve the problem of using strategy trading tools.

Now, OKX has launched the Strategy Marketplace 2.0 version. In addition to copying strategies, users can directly follow traders, enjoying all trading strategies of the traders they follow and earning together with them. For investors lacking strategy trading experience and time to manage strategies, strategy following is undoubtedly the simplest and most effective trading method. Meanwhile, strategy lead traders can also earn profit sharing, achieving a win-win outcome. This article will specifically introduce OKX's strategy following product and how to use it.

Strategy Followers Enable "Easy Earn" Mode with One Click

For investors who want to follow strategies, following mature strategy traders allows them to obtain more stable returns with lower trading risk. Because mature strategy traders, through long-term research and practice, have established a relatively stable set of trading rules and risk management systems. By combining information such as their historical strategy return rates, you can select your preferred lead trader to follow, thereby sharing their return stability and obtaining more reliable investment returns.

In addition, during the following process, followers can also learn and improve their own trading skills. They can observe and learn the trader's decision-making process, risk management methods, and trading logic, understanding market trends and judgments of trading opportunities.

Because everyone's risk tolerance is different, investors need to carefully evaluate traders' historical performance, risk management capabilities, and trading styles when selecting lead traders, to ensure their investment goals and risk tolerance match those of the traders.

In OKX Strategy Following, you can freely select lead traders according to your preferences and enable following with one click.

During the following process, strategy followers don't need additional operations. All following strategies automatically start and stop, remaining consistent with the lead trader's strategies. It's equivalent to the lead trader running strategies for you. When the lead trader starts a strategy, the follower's strategy also automatically starts; when the lead trader stops a strategy, the follower's strategy also automatically stops.

During the running of the following strategy, you can choose to stop the strategy. After the strategy stops, if the strategy is profitable, you can receive profit sharing. Profit sharing = strategy returns × profit-sharing ratio (the profit-sharing ratio is set by the lead trader and can be viewed when selecting a lead trader).

In the OKX APP, click Trade, enter the Strategy Marketplace, and select a lead trader.

Here you can directly find the lead trader you want to follow through search, or you can select a lead trader in the recommended section.

After the strategy is successfully created, you can view the strategy. When the strategy running conditions are triggered, the strategy will run automatically.

During the strategy running process, you can actively stop the strategy yourself. If you don't actively stop it and the lead trader stops it, you will receive a notification that the strategy has stopped.

After the strategy stops, if the strategy is profitable, profit sharing will be conducted according to a fixed ratio. The profit sharing returns will be automatically transferred to your Funding Account.

Strategy Lead Traders Gain Free Traffic and High-Profit Sharing

For strategy lead traders, while strategy trading, they can obtain high-profit sharing through the lead method, and can also hide key points in the strategy, thereby preserving the core competitiveness of the strategy. Through lead trading, they can also gain more marginal returns by building their IP, achieving multiple benefits.

In OKX Strategy Lead Trading, if your strategy is of high quality with higher stable return rates, you can also receive additional promotional exposure from the platform, gain more free traffic, attract more followers, obtain more profit-sharing income, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

In the first phase, the platform will invite some high-quality lead traders. If you meet the following three conditions, you can also apply to become a lead trader. When creating a strategy, set the lead profit-sharing ratio (0-30%). After the lead strategy is successfully published, share the strategy to obtain the lead trader's exclusive identification.

When following users stop their strategies, if the strategy is profitable, you can receive profit sharing (profit-sharing returns = profit portion × profit-sharing ratio). The profit-sharing returns will be transferred to an independent system account, and returns will be transferred to the lead trader's Funding Account within the settlement cycle. The settlement cycle is every Monday at 00:00.

Assume lead strategy-A sets the profit-sharing ratio at 10%. When follower B stops the strategy, the strategy return is 100 USDT, then the lead trader's profit sharing is 10 USDT (100 × 10%); if follower B stops the strategy when the return is -10 USDT, no profit sharing can be obtained.

*How to apply to become a lead trader:

1. Upload valid strategy trading proof;

2. Strategy investment amount greater than 1000 USDT within the last 30 days;

3. More than 5 strategies running within the last 30 days)

If you have already become an OKX strategy trading lead trader, then you can select the profit-sharing ratio when creating strategies.

Note: After a strategy is created, the profit-sharing ratio cannot be modified;

When a lead trader's lead strategy stops, only full position closing is supported.

5. Strategy Trading Series Course — HODL Earn

Preface: We often have such speculation: In bull markets, there are many digital assets with significant gains. If we can continuously capture assets with large increases, for example catching one asset that doubles each month, then after one year your assets will become 2 to the power of 12, i.e., 4096 times, which is very amazing.
