How to switch to Pro Mode on OKX App? (Interface settings)

Accessing Pro Mode Interface

1. Open the OKX mobile application and ensure you are logged into your verified account.

2. Tap the profile icon located in the top-right corner of the home screen.

3. Scroll down to find Settings and select it to enter the configuration menu.

4. Navigate to App Settings under the General section.

5. Look for the option labeled Trading Mode or Interface Style depending on your app version.

Enabling Advanced Trading Layout

1. Within the Trading Mode section, two options appear: Standard and Pro.

2. Tap Pro to activate the professional interface layout.

3. A confirmation dialog may appear warning about increased complexity and real-time order book visibility.

4. Confirm by tapping Switch Now or Enable Pro Mode.

5. The app will reload the trading screen with candlestick charts, depth chart, order ladder, and multi-tier price levels.

Customizing Pro Mode Elements

1. After switching, long-press any chart area to open chart settings and adjust timeframes, indicators, or drawing tools.

2. Swipe left on the order book panel to reveal the Order Ladder, which displays aggregated liquidity per price level.

3. Tap the gear icon on the top-right of the trading interface to toggle visibility of trade history, recent orders, and position summary.

4. Enable One-Click Trading from the same gear menu if you wish to place market orders directly from chart taps.

5. Adjust font size and theme (light/dark) under Display Settings to improve readability during high-frequency sessions.

Verifying Pro Mode Activation Status

1. Check the top banner of any spot or futures trading pair — it should display PRO in bold green text beside the asset name.

2. Observe the presence of bid/ask spread percentage, 24h funding rate (for perpetuals), and tick-level volume heatmap.

3. Confirm that the order entry panel includes advanced fields such as Post-Only, Reduce-Only, and TP/SL triggers.

4. Notice the absence of simplified “Buy/Sell” buttons — replaced instead with separate Limit, Market, Stop, and Trailing tabs.

5. Verify that the bottom navigation bar no longer shows “Trade” as a single tab but splits into Spot, Futures, Margin, and Options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does switching to Pro Mode require KYC verification?A1. Yes. OKX mandates at least Level 2 KYC completion to access Pro Mode due to its support for derivatives, margin, and advanced order types.

Q2: Can I revert to Standard Mode after enabling Pro Mode?A2. Absolutely. Return to Settings > App Settings > Trading Mode and select Standard. All custom chart layouts and preferences will reset unless manually backed up.

Q3: Why does Pro Mode show different price feeds than Standard Mode?A3. Pro Mode pulls raw order book data directly from matching engines without aggregation delays, resulting in tighter spreads and microsecond-level price updates.

Q4: Is Pro Mode available on iOS and Android equally?A4. Both platforms support Pro Mode, though Android users may see additional low-latency optimizations like UDP-based quote streaming when enabled in network settings.
