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.
