How to Navigate the OKX Interface: Homepage Function Guide
The OKX app homepage serves as an information aggregation and function access point, designed with the core logic of "seeing the forest before the trees." For beginners, it's essential to first identify the two main areas: the asset card at the top and the bottom navigation bar. Below is a section-by-section explanation using the default app interface as an example.
1. Top Section of the Homepage: Assets and Key Entry Points
Upon opening the app, the top displays yourtotal asset valuation (in USD or CNY), giving you an instant overview of your account status. In the top-right corner is themessage notification center, used for receiving system announcements and order alerts.
Directly adjacent to the asset card are two core buttons:"Buy"and"Sell". These provide the fastest access to fiat trading, allowing both beginners and experienced users to quickly execute primary operations. Nearby, there is often a "One-Click Buy" or "Quick Swap" entry, further lowering the barrier to entry.
Scrolling down, the middle of the homepage features themarket dynamics area. Here, real-time price data for major cryptocurrencies (such as BTC and ETH) is displayed using candlestick charts and percentage changes, followed by sections like "Hot Coins" and "New Listings" to help you discover potential opportunities.
2. Bottom Navigation Bar: Five Core Sections
This is the most frequently used area of the app, serving as the entry point for all main functions.
| Icon Name | Core Function |
|---|---|
| OKX / Home | Returns to the asset overview and market dynamics page described above. |
| Markets | View a list of all cryptocurrency prices, with options to customize watchlists and sorting. |
| Trade | Enter professional trading interfaces for spot, futures, and more (core operational area). |
| Explore / Web3 | Access the Web3 wallet, NFT marketplace, DApps, and other decentralized ecosystem features. |
| Assets | Check balances across various accounts (funding, trading, finance) and transfer funds. |
3. Trading Interface ("Trade" Tab)
After tapping the [Trade] button at the bottom, you are taken to the spot trading page by default. This is the most feature-dense area, which can be broken down from top to bottom for easier reading:
Top: Trading Pair and Candlestick Chart: Displays the latest price and percentage change for the current trading pair (e.g., BTC/USDT), along with a candlestick chart for trend analysis.
Middle: Order Book: Shows the depth of buy and sell orders in the current market, typically with buys on the left and sells on the right.
Bottom: Order Panel: Here, you select between [Market Order] or [Limit Order], enter the price and quantity, and complete the trade.
Feature Entry Explanation: Tap the "gear" icon in the top-right corner of the candlestick chart to access settings, where you can adjust chart colors, technical indicators (such as MACD, MA), and the percentage change calculation period (UTC+8/UTC/24H format).
4. Other Important Entry Points
More Functions ("..." or Grid Icon): Located in a corner of the homepage or trading page, tapping this opens the "All Functions" list, including advanced services like Invite Friends, Rewards Center, Finance Earn, Lending, and Mining Pool.
Personal Center (Top-Left Avatar): Enter to view or modify [Security Settings], complete identity verification, or contact [Customer Support].
What if the interface style differs from the description above?
The OKX app offers two modes: "Lite Version" and "Pro Version." The Lite Version features only five sections—Home, Markets, Convert, Earn, and Assets—with a simpler layout suitable for beginners. You can switch versions in the personal settings.
How to adjust the candlestick chart timeframe on the trading page?
Above the candlestick chart, there is typically a row of time buttons (e.g., 1m, 5m, 1H, 1D). Tap these to switch between different time period charts.
