Delta-Neutral Made Native, Now Built Into OKX

Where most platforms see two risky positions, we see one smart strategy, a hedge.

So we created a first-of-its-kind new smart account for delta-neutral traders, where your hedge is seen by the platform as a unified trade, unlocking capital efficiency and control. It’s built to understand your true net risk. By analyzing your longs and shorts as a single, balanced portfolio, it delivers two key benefits:

1. Slashed Margin Requirements: Your capital is freed up, not tied down.

2. Smarter Liquidation: You're protected from unfair liquidations on one leg of your strategy.

It's the account built for the way you actually trade.

It's exactly the same structured delta-neutral strategies used by market makers, hedge funds and traders on Wall Street, and it's now available on your OKX account in a dedicated mode.

A trader's dream on structured earnings with lower risk

When you trade size, risk isn’t theoretical, it's as real as a margin call away. So we rethought the foundation for both efficiency and clarity:

• Higher borrowing limits: so your strategies enjoy capital efficiency with less capital locked up, allowing you to maximise exposure without more risk

• Lower Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) queues: lowering the risk of your hedge unwinding unexpectedly, in turn, increasing the stability of your strategy

What’s Delta-Neutral, and why do Funds trade Delta-Neutral?

When running delta-neutral trading strategies, you don’t bet on direction. You bet on structure. Delta-neutral strategies aim to neutralize market exposure. This means holding off-setting positions (e.g., long on spot, short on perps) with tight balance in between. Profits come from either of the following:

• Funding rate spreads

• Basis differentials

Its basically compounding the benefits of the edge derived from delta-neutral trading (hedging), for growth stability regardless of market conditions.

Who is it for?

Delta-neutral strategy is best used with large position sizes. To begin, it's available if you're one of the following:

• Funds and Market Makers running basis trades at scale

• OKX VIPs, HNWIs and Sophisticated Traders looking to grow without overexposure

• Institutional Partners who need capital discipline without operational drag

If you’ve been building delta-neutral trades manually across accounts, toggling margin modes, managing risks by spreadsheet, this changes everything.
