What Is the Coin Accumulation Strategy?
The Coin Accumulation Strategy is an automated approach that dynamically rebalances a user-selected cryptocurrency portfolio. It maintains fixed proportional allocations across assets through two rebalancing triggers:
- Time-based: Periodic adjustments (e.g., hourly/daily).
- Deviation-based: Rebalancing when an asset’s value drifts beyond a preset threshold (e.g., 10% from target allocation).
Key Benefit: Capitalizes on exchange-rate fluctuations between assets to grow holdings systematically.
Ideal Use Cases for Coin Accumulation
Market Rotation Scenarios:
- Cryptocurrencies often rally in cycles (e.g., Bitcoin surges → altcoins follow).
- Static holdings risk missing gains or enduring drawdowns.
- This strategy automates profit-taking from outperforming assets and reinvests into laggards, compounding returns.
Volatility Hedging:
- Mitigates downside by rebalancing away from depreciating assets.
Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing Coin Accumulation
3.1 Setup Process (OKX Platform)
Access Strategy:
- Web/App: Navigate to Trading → Strategy Trading → Coin Accumulation.
Configure Parameters:
- Select coin pairs (max 10/USDT-denominated).
- Set target allocations (e.g., BTC 50%, ETH 30%, SOL 20%).
Fund & Activate:
- Allocated funds move to a dedicated strategy account.
3.2 Key Parameters Explained
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Coin Allocation | Custom mix of assets with fixed target ratios (e.g., 50% BTC, 30% ETH). |
| Rebalancing Mode | Proportional: Triggered by % deviation (e.g., 10%). Time-based: Fixed intervals (e.g., 4 hours). |
| Investment Amount | Initial capital converted into the selected portfolio. |
3.3 Practical Example
Scenario: Proportional Rebalancing (10% Threshold)
- Initial Investment: 10,000 USDT → 5 BTC ($1,000 each), 6 ETH ($500), 20 SOL ($100).
- Price Change: BTC ↑50% ($1,500); ETH/SOL stable.
- Action: Sells 0.83 BTC, buys 2.5 ETH + 5 SOL to restore 50:30:20 allocation.
Result: New holdings → 4.17 BTC ($6,250), 7.5 ETH ($3,750), 25 SOL ($2,500).

Critical Considerations
Risk Isolation:
- Strategy funds are quarantined from your main trading account. Monitor overall liquidity.
Asset Abnormalities:
- Strategy halts if assets face delisting or trading suspensions.
