Decode the jargon
10 · Before you start trading crypto

Three things to know
before you start.

Beginners rarely lose because they can’t buy — they lose to early leverage, chat-group tips and ignoring local rules.

Check your local rules

OKX does not serve every country. Read the user agreement and your local laws — and remember crypto gains may be taxable where you live.

Demo profit ≠ live profit

Demo mode has no real fear, slippage or fees. It trains mechanics, not returns. Go live small. Demo limits

Skip tips and high leverage

DMs promising guaranteed profit are scams; keep futures at 3x or less with a stop-loss every time. Can you owe money?

11 · OKX tutorials for beginners

from demo to live.

12 · OKX beginner FAQ

Beginner
FAQ.

How do I start trading on OKX as a beginner?

Sign up through the referral link (code OK66688) and verify → practice in demo trading for 1–2 weeks → learn candlesticks and limit, market and stop-loss orders → start live with a small amount on major spot pairs.

Where is OKX demo trading? Is it free?

App: tap the profile icon at the top-left → Demo trading. Web: Trade menu → Demo trading. It’s free, needs no deposit, and comes with roughly 100,000 USDT of virtual funds you can reset.

What is the OKX referral link?

It’s the sign-up URL with the code built in: https://top.bianve.com/ok?s=6e. The code OK66688 is filled in automatically; in the app, type it into “Referral code (optional)”.

Does the referral link cost me anything?

No. You get the 20% fee discount; we may receive a commission paid by OKX. Nothing is added to your costs.

Is the 20% fee discount permanent?

Yes, the referral is bound at sign-up with no expiry, unless OKX changes its program rules.

Can I still get welcome rewards with a referral link?

Yes. New-user campaigns such as the mystery box and tasks are unaffected; what you receive is shown in the rewards hub.

Limit or market order — which should I use?

Limit orders control price and usually pay the lower maker fee but may not fill; market orders fill immediately at the taker fee. Beginners can use limit orders most of the time.

Should beginners trade futures?

Practice futures in demo mode first. Live, keep leverage at 3x or less and always set a stop-loss.

Is OKX safe?

OKX has operated for years, publishes proof of reserves and is licensed or registered in multiple jurisdictions. No centralized platform is risk-free: enable 2FA and an anti-phishing code.

Is this the official OKX website?

No. This is an independent third-party guide. We don’t offer login, deposits or custody; all sign-ups and trading happen on okx.com.
