OKX CEX Trading CLI Spot, perpetual swap, delivery futures, and options order management on OKX exchange. Place, cancel, amend, and monitor orders; query option chains and Greeks; set take-profit/stop-loss and trailing stops; manage leverage and positions. 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 (simulated trading, no real funds): okx --profile demo spot orders 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 money — irreversible demo 模拟盘 Simulated — no real funds okx --profile live spot place .. .
实盘 — real funds
okx --profile demo spot place .. .
模拟盘 — simulated funds
Rules: --profile is required on every authenticated command — determined in "Credential & Profile Check" Step B Every response after a command must append: [profile: live] or [profile: demo] Do not use the --demo flag for mode switching — use --profile instead Example User: "Buy 0.01 BTC" Agent: "Live (实盘) or Demo (模拟盘)?" User: "Demo" Agent runs: okx --profile demo spot place --instId BTC-USDT --side buy --ordType market --sz 0.01 Agent replies: "Order placed: 7890123456 (OK) — simulated, no real funds used. [profile: demo]" 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 For regular spot/swap/futures/options/algo orders → use okx-cex-trade (this skill) For grid and DCA trading bots → use okx-cex-bot Quickstart

- Operation Flow
- 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 instrument type and action
- Spot
- (instId format:
- BTC-USDT
- ):
- Place/cancel/amend order →
- okx spot place/cancel/amend
- TP/SL conditional →
- okx spot algo place/amend/cancel
- Query →
- okx spot orders/get/fills/algo orders
- Swap/Perpetual
- (instId format:
- BTC-USDT-SWAP
- ):
- Place/cancel/amend order →
- okx swap place/cancel/amend
- Close position →
- okx swap close
- Leverage →
- okx swap leverage
- /
- okx swap get-leverage
- TP/SL conditional →
- okx swap algo place/amend/cancel
- Trailing stop →
- okx swap algo trail

- (instId format:

- okx futures place/cancel
- Query →
- okx futures orders/positions/fills/get
- Options
- (instId format:
- BTC-USD-250328-95000-C
- or
- ...-P
- ):
- Step 1 (required): find valid instId →
- okx option instruments --uly BTC-USD
- Step 2 (recommended): check IV and Greeks →
- okx option greeks --uly BTC-USD
- Place/cancel/amend order →
- okx option place/cancel/amend
- Batch cancel →
- okx option batch-cancel --orders '[...]'
- Query →
- okx option orders/get/positions/fills
- tdMode
- :
- cash
- for buyers (full premium upfront, no liquidation risk);
- cross
- or
- isolated
- for sellers (margin required)
- Step 2: Confirm profile (determined in Step 0), then confirm write parameters
- Read commands
- (orders, positions, fills, get, get-leverage, algo orders): run immediately; note the profile used.
- --history
- flag: defaults to active/open; use
- --history
- only if user explicitly asks for history
- --ordType
- for algo:
- conditional
- = single TP or SL;
- oco
- = both TP and SL together
- --tdMode
- for swap/futures:
- cross
- or
- isolated
- ; spot always uses
- cash
- (set automatically)
- --posSide
- for hedge mode:
- long
- or
- short
- ; omit in net mode
- Write commands
- (place, cancel, amend, close, leverage, algo): two confirmations required:
- Profile
- — determined in Step 0; use
- --profile live
- (实盘) or
- --profile demo
- (模拟盘)
- Confirm parameters
- — confirm the key order details once before executing:
- Spot place: confirm
- --instId
- ,
- --side
- ,
- --ordType
- ,
- --sz
- ; price (
- --px
- ) required for limit orders
- Swap place: confirm
- --instId
- ,
- --side
- ,
- --sz
- ,
- --tdMode
- ; confirm
- --posSide
- if in hedge mode
- Swap close: confirm
- --instId
- ,
- --mgnMode
- ,
- --posSide
- ; closes the entire position at market
- Swap leverage: confirm new leverage and impact on existing positions; cannot exceed exchange max
- Algo place (TP/SL): confirm trigger prices; use
- --tpOrdPx -1
- for market execution at trigger
- Algo trail: confirm
- --callbackRatio
- (e.g.,
- 0.02
- = 2%) or
- --callbackSpread
- (fixed price spread)
- Step 3: Verify after writes
- After
- spot place
-
- run
- okx spot orders
- to confirm order is live or
- okx spot fills
- if market order
- After
- swap place
-
- run
- okx swap orders
- or
- okx swap positions
- to confirm
- After
- swap close
-
- run
- okx swap positions
- to confirm position size is 0
- After algo place: run
- okx spot algo orders
- or
- okx swap algo orders
- to confirm algo is active
- After cancel: run
- okx spot orders
- /
- okx swap orders
- to confirm order is gone

- Leverage
-
- max leverage varies by instrument and account level; exchange rejects if exceeded
- Trailing stop
-
- use either

- (absolute price), not both
- Algo on close side
-
- always set
- --side
- opposite to position (e.g., long position → sell algo)
- Futures / Delivery

-
- delivery futures use date suffix:
- BTC-USDT-250328
- for March 28, 2025 expiry
- Expiry
-
- futures expire on the delivery date — all positions auto-settle; do not hold through expiry unless intended
- No swap-specific features

-
- number of contracts (1 BTC option contract = 0.1 BTC on OKX);
- --px
- is quoted in BTC (e.g.
- 0.005
- = 0.005 BTC premium per contract)
- Expiry
-
- options expire at 08:00 UTC on the expiry date; in-the-money options are auto-exercised; do not hold through expiry unless intended
- No TP/SL algo on options
- the
