OKX spot grid and futures grid both place orders across a range, but the account, margin, funding, liquidation, and position rules are different. Choose the product only after checking the current order panel and risk disclosure.
Key differences
| Area | Spot grid | Futures grid |
|---|---|---|
| Exposure | Uses the spot asset balance and can accumulate the asset. | Uses a derivative position and can include leverage. |
| Extra costs | Trading fees, spread, and network or transfer costs. | Trading fees, funding, margin, liquidation, and spread. |
| Failure mode | Price can leave the range and leave an unwanted asset position. | Price can leave the range and trigger margin or liquidation risk. |
Before enabling a grid
Set the range, order size, maximum exposure, stop condition, and fee estimate. A backtest or preset does not guarantee a live result.
See the trading-mode guide, the grid guide, and the risk-control guide.
