OKX overview

OKX runs a unified trading account that mixes spot, margin, perpetuals, futures, and options under one balance. Isolating taxable events from that unified ledger is where most tools struggle.

Earn and staking income on OKX is often overlooked — TradingAtlas surfaces it alongside trade disposals for complete reporting.

Why OKX tax reporting is complex

Most traders face the same structural challenges at tax time.

Fragmented exports

OKX requires a passphrase with each API key. TradingAtlas reads the unified account and splits spot, margin, and derivatives into clean per-instrument history.

Missing cost basis

Earn and staking income is easy to miss in the unified ledger.

Derivatives & funding

Perpetual swaps, dated futures, and options are parsed from the unified account. Contract face values differ per instrument (for example BTC-USD-SWAP), so contract sizing is applied per symbol. Perpetual funding is captured from the unified ledger and kept distinct from trade fees and realised PnL.

Cross-exchange consolidation

Most OKX users also trade elsewhere, so reporting must stay exchange-agnostic.

Exchange-specific gaps TradingAtlas fills for you.

Cost-basis methods, reporting currency & historical FX

TradingAtlas supports FIFO (First In First Out), LIFO (Last In First Out), HIFO (Highest In First Out), and AVCO (Average Cost). Pick the method your jurisdiction requires, or switch between them to compare the tax impact on your OKX disposals.

Trades denominated in stablecoins or other assets are converted to your chosen reporting currency using historical FX at the time of each transaction, so proceeds and gains reflect real value.

Perpetual funding is captured from the unified ledger and kept distinct from trade fees and realised PnL.
