What Is OKX Copy Trading?
OKX's intelligent copy trading feature enables investors to automatically replicate the trades of top-performing traders (known as "lead traders"). Lead traders earn profit-sharing from managed assets, while followers customize parameters like entry/exit rules, trading pairs, and leverage based on risk tolerance. The system supports both futures and spot trading.
