OKX CEX Portfolio & Account CLI Account balance, positions, P&L, bills, fees, and fund transfers on OKX exchange. Requires API credentials. Prerequisites Install okx CLI: npm install -g @okx_ai/okx-trade-cli Configure credentials: okx config init Or set environment variables: export OKX_API_KEY = your_key export OKX_SECRET_KEY = your_secret export OKX_PASSPHRASE = your_passphrase Test with demo mode: okx --profile demo account balance Credential & Profile Check Run this check before any authenticated command. Step A — Verify credentials okx config show
verify configuration status (output is masked)
If the command returns an error or shows no configuration: stop all operations , guide the user to run okx config init , and wait for setup to complete before retrying. If credentials are configured: proceed to Step B. Step B — Confirm profile (required) --profile is required for all authenticated commands. Never add a profile implicitly. Value Mode Funds live 实盘 Real funds demo 模拟盘 Simulated funds Resolution rules: Current message intent is clear (e.g. "real" / "实盘" / "live" → live ; "test" / "模拟" / "demo" → demo ) → use it and inform the user: "Using --profile live (实盘)" or "Using --profile demo (模拟盘)" Current message has no explicit declaration → check conversation context for a previous profile: Found → use it, inform user: "Continuing with --profile live (实盘) from earlier" Not found → ask: "Live (实盘) or Demo (模拟盘)?" — wait for answer before proceeding Handling 401 Authentication Errors If any command returns a 401 / authentication error: Stop immediately — do not retry the same command Inform the user: "Authentication failed (401). Your API credentials may be invalid or expired." Guide the user to update credentials by editing the file directly with their local editor: ~/.okx/config.toml Update the fields api_key , secret_key , passphrase under the relevant profile. Do NOT paste the new credentials into chat. After the user confirms the file is updated, run okx config show to verify (output is masked) Only then retry the original operation Demo vs Live Mode Profile is the single control for 实盘/模拟盘 switching — exactly two options: --profile Mode Funds live 实盘 Real funds demo 模拟盘 Simulated funds okx --profile live account balance
实盘
okx --profile demo account balance
模拟盘 (simulated balance)
Rules: Read commands (balance, positions, bills, etc.): always state which profile was used Write commands ( transfer , set-position-mode ): profile must be confirmed before execution (see "Credential & Profile Check" Step B); transfer especially — wrong profile means wrong account Every response after a command must append: [profile: live] or [profile: demo] Do not use the --demo flag — use --profile instead Skill Routing For market data (prices, charts, depth, funding rates) → use okx-cex-market For account balance, P&L, positions, fees, transfers → use okx-cex-portfolio (this skill) For regular spot/swap/futures/algo orders → use okx-cex-trade For grid and DCA trading bots → use okx-cex-bot Quickstart

- Step 0 — Credential & Profile Check
- Before any authenticated command:
- Determine profile (required):
- Options:
- live
- (实盘) or
- demo
- (模拟盘) — exactly these two values
- Current message intent clear (e.g. "real"/"实盘"/"live" → live; "test"/"模拟"/"demo" → demo) → use it, inform user:
- "Using --profile live (实盘)"
- Current message has no explicit declaration → check conversation context for previous profile:
- Found → use it, inform user:
- "Continuing with --profile live (实盘) from earlier"
- Not found → ask:
- "Live (实盘) or Demo (模拟盘)?"
- — wait for answer
- If no credentials configured:
- guide user to run
- okx config init
- , stop all trading actions
- After every command result:
- append
- [profile: live]
- or
- [profile: demo]
- to the response
- Step 1: Identify account action
