Managing notifications effectively is crucial for a streamlined trading experience. This guide explains how to control market alerts and promotional messages within your OKX application.
Notifications can be valuable, but excessive alerts may become disruptive. The OKX app allows users to customize which notifications they receive, ensuring they stay informed without unnecessary interruptions.
Understanding Notification Types on OKX
The app primarily sends two categories of alerts:
Market Alerts
- Price change alerts for specific cryptocurrencies
- Technical breakthrough notifications (e.g., support/resistance levels)
- Volatility warnings for popular tokens
Promotional and System Notifications
- New token listing announcements
- Limited-time airdrop opportunities
- Trading fee promotions
- Platform update notices
Step-by-Step Guide to Managing Notifications
Follow these steps to customize your notification preferences:
- Open your OKX app and tap your profile icon in the top-left corner
- Navigate to "System Settings" → "Notification Settings"
Adjust these key settings:
- Toggle market alerts on/off or limit to watchlist only

Important Note: Notification settings are device-specific and won't sync across multiple installations. You'll need to reconfigure them if you reinstall the app or switch devices.
Advanced Notification Control Through Your Mobile OS
For additional control, consider managing notifications at your device level:
Android Devices:
- Access Settings → Apps → OKX → Notifications
- Toggle specific notification categories or disable entirely
iOS Devices:
- Visit Settings → Notifications → OKX
- Customize alert styles or disable completely
Caution: Disabling notifications at the system level will also block security alerts, including login attempts and account changes.
Optimizing Notifications for Your Trading Style
Different traders benefit from different notification strategies:
- Active traders: Maintain price alerts for timely opportunities
- Long-term investors: Disable price alerts but keep security notifications
- Promotion-focused users: Enable activity notifications for airdrop opportunities
- Minimalist users: Disable all non-essential alerts
The goal is creating a notification environment that supports your trading objectives without creating distraction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I receive notifications only for specific cryptocurrencies?
Yes. Add preferred tokens to your watchlist and enable notifications exclusively for those assets. This allows precise control over which price movements trigger alerts.
Will I miss important security alerts if I disable notifications?
Only if you disable them at the system level. The OKX app's notification settings allow you to maintain security alerts while disabling promotional content.
Do notification settings sync across multiple devices?
No. Each device maintains its own notification preferences. You'll need to configure each device individually according to your preferences.
How often should I review my notification settings?
Review your settings quarterly or whenever your trading strategy changes. This ensures your notifications remain aligned with your current objectives.
What's the difference between app-level and system-level notification controls?
App-level controls let you customize notification types within OKX, while system-level controls manage how those notifications appear on your device. For most users, app-level controls provide sufficient customization.
Can I schedule quiet hours for OKX notifications?
While the app doesn't currently offer built-in scheduling, both Android and iOS provide system-level options to create notification schedules for specific apps.
Effective notification management helps maintain focus on what matters most to your trading strategy. By customizing these settings, you can reduce distractions while maintaining access to critical market information and security alerts.
