OKX Trading Bot, explained.
An OKX trading bot trades your OKX account automatically on both spot and perpetual futures. Design the logic in VolatiCloud's visual builder or in Freqtrade Python, validate it on real OKX history, and a managed cloud runner executes it 24/7 through a trade-only API key.
OKX is a top-tier global venue with deep books on both spot and derivatives, so long, short, and long-and-short strategies with rule-based leverage all run natively. European traders connect through MyOKX, OKX's licensed EEA entity — same markets, same integration.
From idea to a running bot.
Connecting OKX takes a couple of minutes and never gives us withdrawal rights — you create a trade-only API key, paste it in, and your funds stay on OKX.
Create a OKX API key
In your OKX account, create an API key with trading enabled and withdrawals disabled. We recommend an IP allow-list and a withdrawal whitelist for defence in depth.
Connect it to VolatiCloud
Paste the key and secret into VolatiCloud. Credentials are encrypted at the field level with AES-256-GCM and never logged in plaintext — optional passphrase E2EE and BYOK let you hold the key yourself.
Build or import a strategy
Design entry and exit logic in the visual builder with 27 indicators, or paste a Freqtrade strategy.py into Code Mode, then backtest it on real OKX spot and futures history.
Go live or dry-run
Promote the strategy to a managed runner that trades OKX 24/7, or run it in dry-run mode on live prices first. Monitor fills, PnL and drawdown with email and in-app alerts.
Built for the way you trade.
Whether you already trade on OKX by hand or you are migrating a self-hosted Freqtrade bot, VolatiCloud runs it for you.
OKX traders going hands-free
Automate the strategy you already run on OKX so it executes around the clock — backtested first, then live, without watching charts.
Freqtrade users on OKX
Move a self-hosted OKX bot off your VPS. The engine is Freqtrade itself, so your existing OKX strategy runs unchanged on managed infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions.
Is the OKX bot non-custodial?
Yes. Your assets always stay in your OKX account. VolatiCloud connects through a trade-only API key and places orders on your behalf — we never take custody, and we recommend disabling withdrawals on the key entirely.
Does the OKX bot support futures?
Yes. OKX supports both spot and perpetual futures on VolatiCloud. Choose the trading mode in the Freqtrade config, set leverage rules in the strategy, and use long, short, or long-and-short positions.
Can I backtest before trading live on OKX?
Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Every strategy can be backtested on real OKX historical data with win rate, Sharpe, Sortino, max drawdown and profit factor, or run in dry-run mode on live OKX prices before risking capital.
What is the difference between OKX and MyOKX?
MyOKX is OKX's licensed entity for the European Economic Area; OKX is the global platform. They are the same trading experience on VolatiCloud — pick the one your account is registered with.
