OKX Copy Trading Profit Sharing Rules

·

Profit Sharing Overview

Lead traders can earn up to 13% profit sharing from copy traders' successful trades. This incentivizes skilled traders to share strategies while allowing followers to learn from experts.

Key Profit Sharing Rules

  1. Daily Calculation & Settlement

    • The system tracks each copy trade's profit/loss, accumulating results over a 24-hour cycle (00:00-23:59 UTC+8).
    • Profitable trades undergo:
      ▪️ Fee deduction
      ▪️ Preliminary profit sharing withholding
    • If actual payable profits are lower than withheld amounts, excess funds return to copy traders' accounts.
  2. Position-Free Requirement
    Profit sharing only occurs when:
    ▪️ All copied positions are closed
    ▪️ No active copy relationship exists between trader and follower
    ▪️ Unsettled positions delay sharing to the next cycle
  3. Transparent Settlement

    • Cycle: 1 calendar day
    • Calculation window: 00:00-23:59 UTC+8
    • Settlement time: Next day 00:00 UTC+8
