OKX Trading Bot

About OKX

OKX was founded in 2014 as OKEx and rebranded in 2022. Headquartered in Seychelles, it offers spot trading across a broad range of cryptocurrencies and secured an EU MiCA licence in January 2025, becoming the first global exchange able to passport regulated services across the European Economic Area. It re-entered the US market in 2025.

We connect to both OKX spot and OKX Swap, the perpetual-swap venue, which offers perpetual contracts on major pairs with funding-rate settlement.

For automation, OKX's unified account is the draw: spot and swap positions share collateral, so a hedged strategy does not need funds split across two balances. That makes it a natural fit for basis and funding-rate strategies where you hold spot and short the perpetual simultaneously.

Strategies you can run on OKX

• Arbitrage: exploit price differences between two connected venues, so it needs a second exchange
• DCA: average into a position on a schedule or on drawdown triggers
• Grid trading: ladder orders through a range and work the swings inside it
• Market making: quote both sides and earn the spread
• Ping pong: buy a level, sell the next one up, repeat
• Scalping: short-horizon entries and exits on your own tick interval
• Signals: trade an external webhook, from TradingView or your own source, with each incoming signal firing the bot immediately
• WaveRunner: grid trading with anchor-scale safety and auto re-anchoring
• Zone recovery: hedge a losing position rather than close it, and work back to flat
• Custom HaasScript: Lua-based, 750+ built-in commands, visual or full-script editors

OKX's spot and derivatives markets are separate integrations on our side, so one set of API keys gives your bots both order books and a spot strategy and a leveraged one can run side by side.

Every strategy can be backtested against historical OKX data before you commit capital, and you can connect an AI assistant through our MCP server to audit and write strategies in conversation.
