Advanced trading

Setting a take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) is one of the most important steps you can take before placing an X-Perps trade. On OKX, TP and SL are set directly in the order form, before you confirm the trade, not after. This means you define your exit conditions upfront, so the platform manages your position automatically if the price hits your target or your limit. You set TP/SL by percentage (e.g. take profit at +10%, stop loss at -5%) or by entering a specific price. Percentage-based inputs are the simplest approach and are recommended for most traders. They scale automatically with your entry price, so you don’t need to calculate exact price levels, just decide how much you want to make or are willing to lose on the trade.

X-Perps (Expiry Perps) are now live in Europe, giving EEA traders access to a powerful derivatives product on a regulated platform for the first time. Whether you are switching from another platform or exploring derivatives for the first time, this guide explains exactly what X-Perps are, how they work, and what you need to know before trading them on OKX.

Be first. A new trading standard is coming to OKX Europe very soon. Crypto trading has come a long way. But for serious traders, the platform is still often the weakest link — too slow, too expensive, or simply not built for how you actually trade. OKX Europe is changing that. We can’t share everything just yet, but early access is now open.
