How to use the iceberg trading bot

What are iceberg orders?

Iceberg orders are large buys or sells broken down into many smaller orders. They're beneficial when making a significant trade relative to the size of a given market. Even small orders risk moving the asset price in an illiquid market, resulting in less favorable entry or exit prices for traders. Iceberg orders are designed to mask large orders and limit the impact of price slippage.

For users who have yet to trade futures or perpetual swaps, we recommend reading OKX’s tutorials about each product before using the iceberg orders bot. This will help you to understand the risks of trading futures or perpetual swaps. In this short guide, we'll explain how to place orders using the OKX iceberg trading bot.
