Spot copy trading is an innovative feature introduced by OKX in November 2023, enabling users globally to replicate the trades of experienced traders automatically. This guide will walk you through the essentials of spot copy trading, addressing common questions and providing actionable insights.
How Spot Copy Trading Works
- What happens when you copy a spot trader?
Once you successfully copy a spot trader, your account will automatically mirror their buy/sell orders in real-time. - Can I sell assets before the copied trader?
Yes. You may manually sell assets earlier than the copied trader via the copy trading management page. Your profit/loss will reflect the difference between your buy and sell prices. - What if the copied trader sells their assets?
Your account will follow the sell action, though execution prices may slightly differ due to market fluctuations. - Can I opt out of selling after the copied trader exits?
No—unless you manually sell earlier or enable stop-loss, your account will replicate the trader’s exit.
