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 may be useful when making a significant trade relative to the size of a given market. Even small orders can 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.

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.

How to place iceberg orders using the OKX trading bot

Step 1

Navigate to the trading bots section under the 'trade' option on the main navigation bar.

Step 2

To enter iceberg mode, click 'iceberg' from the 'slicing bots tab.

Step 3

In the iceberg section, select the product and trading pair you want to trade using the menu in the top-left corner. You can use the trading bot in the spot, perpetual, futures, margin, and options markets. Select the desired instrument and then the trading pair from the list.

Step 4

Next, enter the order amount of each limit order you want to place and the number of visible orders, defining how many orders will be placed on the order book. And, enter the order amount as the total amount you want to place with the iceberg order.

Step 5

OKX also provides access to advanced settings, which are optional. You can choose from different order preferences, including quick execution, price-speed balance, and passive queuing. The default mode is price-speed balance. You can also define the desired limit price to control the overall cost. Also, you can select different start conditions from instant, price trigger, and RSI trigger.

Step 6

Then, click buy (long) or sell (short) to place your iceberg trade.

Step 7

Lastly, you can see the overview of the running iceberg strategy at the bottom and click details to view more information.

Understanding the concept of an all-time high (ATH) in crypto

As the crypto market continues its powerful surge following the April 2024 Bitcoin halving, we’re witnessing breathtaking gains across a wide range of coins and tokens. The rally has reignited memories of past bull market frenzies, only this time, prices have already shattered previous records. Bitcoin, which set its former all-time high of around $68,742 on November 10, 2021, has since stormed past the $100,000 mark in late 2024 and reached over $123,000 in August 2025. With fear of missing out (FOMO) running high, traders are now asking not if the market can reclaim old highs, but how far this cycle can push the boundaries of what’s possible.
