What Is Smart Trading?
Smart Trading on OKX represents the next evolution in digital asset trading. It combines expert-driven insights with automated execution, enabling users to trade smarter, not harder. The ecosystem includes several powerful tools:
Smart Picks
Curated by top-performing traders and analysts, Smart Picks features pre-built strategies across Swing, HODL, and Sniping styles. With just one click, you can replicate high-potential moves — no need for deep technical analysis or constant market monitoring.
Copy Trading
Follow the best. Copy Trading allows you to mirror the live positions of proven lead traders in Futures or replicate their entire Spot portfolios. It’s ideal for those who want to learn from experts while actively participating in the market.
Trading Bots
Let automation do the work. From Spot Grid Bots to Futures Grids, these tools execute trades 24/7 based on predefined parameters. You can also use them to clone top-performing strategies from the Bot Marketplace.
These tools are more than conveniences — they’re force multipliers in volatile markets.
How the Campaign Works
This isn’t just about using smart tools — it’s about competing, growing, and winning.
Top performers will be ranked based on PnL% (Profit and Loss percentage) gains across any Smart Trading product. The top 30 traders will split a generous prize pool, with rewards calculated as follows:
- PnL% is measured from your best-performing Smart Trading product
- The baseline is the initial USDT balance in your trading account at enrollment
- All deposits and withdrawals during the campaign are excluded from calculations
This ensures fairness and focuses purely on trading skill and strategy effectiveness.
Prize Pool Breakdown
| Rank | Reward (USDT) |
|---|---|
| 1st | 3,500 |
| 2nd | 2,500 |
| 3rd | 1,500 |
| 4th | 1,000 |
| 5th | 500 |
| 6th–30th | 200 each |
Total distributed: 15,000 USDT in direct prizes.
But that's only part of the story.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I join multiple campaigns at once?
A: No. Each user can only participate in one campaign at a time. If you register for more than one, only the last registered campaign will count.
Q: Are deposits and withdrawals included in PnL calculations?
A: No. PnL% is calculated based solely on your initial USDT balance at enrollment. All subsequent deposits or withdrawals are excluded to ensure fair comparison.
Q: How are ETH rewards distributed?
A: All rewards are distributed in USDT equivalent value via official OKX channels. OKX may issue platform vouchers instead due to regulatory restrictions.
Q: What counts as AUM?
A: AUM includes funds allocated to bots, copy trading investments, or your own strategy position sizes. It reflects active capital deployed in Smart Trading products.
Q: Can I lose money using these tools?
A: Yes. Digital assets are highly volatile. Automated tools do not eliminate risk. You could lose part or all of your investment. Always assess your risk tolerance before trading.
Q: How does OKX prevent cheating?
A: OKX monitors for suspicious behavior such as multi-accounting, wash trading, fake KYC data, or inflating volumes. Any detected violations result in disqualification.
