Price Deviation Ranges

The core advantage of OKX's dynamic system is automatic position adjustment without manual intervention.

Real-world case: During ETH's $2,600→$2,200 drop, a 3% deviation setting saved 18 ETH compared to fixed stops.

VolatilityRecommended RangeExtreme Market Adjustment
<2%1.5-2× ATRManual 3× adjustment
2-5%1× ATR+20% buffer

Pro tip: For ETH/BTC pairs, set deviation at 60% of Bollinger Band width - this captures trends while preventing false breakouts.
