# 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
1. Install `okx` CLI:
```bash
npm install -g @okx_ai/okx-trade-cli
```
2. Configure credentials:
```bash
okx config init
```
Or set environment variables:
```bash
export OKX_API_KEY=your_key
export OKX_SECRET_KEY=your_secret
export OKX_PASSPHRASE=your_passphrase
```
3. Test with demo mode (simulated trading, no real funds):
```bash
okx --profile demo spot orders
```
## Credential & Profile Check
**Run this check before any authenticated command.**
### Step A — Verify credentials
```bash
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:**
1. 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)"`
2. 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:
1. **Stop immediately** — do not retry the same command
2. Inform the user: "Authentication failed (401). Your API credentials may be invalid or expired."
3. 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.
4. After the user confirms the file is updated, run `okx config show` to verify (output is masked)
5. 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 |
```bash
okx --profile live spot place ... # 实盘 — real funds
okx --profile demo spot place ... # 模拟盘 — simulated funds
```
**Rules:**
1. `--profile` is **required** on every authenticated command — determined in "Credential & Profile Check" Step B
2. Every response after a command must append: `[profile: live]` or `[profile: demo]`
3. 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]"
```

```
## 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
1. 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)"`
2. 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`
- Query → `okx swap positions/orders/get/fills/get-leverage/algo orders`
**Futures/Delivery** (instId format: `BTC-USDT-250328`):
- Place/cancel order → `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:
1. **Profile** — determined in Step 0; use `--profile live` (实盘) or `--profile demo` (模拟盘)
2. **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

## Edge Cases
### Spot
- **Market order size**: `--sz` is in base currency (e.g., BTC amount), not USDT
- **Insufficient balance**: check `okx-cex-portfolio account balance` before placing
- **Price not required**: `market` orders don't need `--px`; `limit` / `post_only` / `fok` / `ioc` do
- **Algo oco**: provide both `tpTriggerPx` and `slTriggerPx`; price `-1` means market execution at trigger
- **Fills vs orders**: `fills` shows executed trades; `orders --history` shows all orders including cancelled
### Swap / Perpetual
- **posSide**: required in hedge mode (`long_short_mode`); omit in net mode. Check `okx account config` for `posMode`
- **tdMode**: use `cross` for cross-margin, `isolated` for isolated margin
- **Close position**: `swap close` closes the **entire** position; to partial close, use `swap place` with a reduce-only algo
- **Leverage**: max leverage varies by instrument and account level; exchange rejects if exceeded
- **Trailing stop**: use either `--callbackRatio` (relative, e.g., `0.02`) or `--callbackSpread` (absolute price), not both
- **Algo on close side**: always set `--side` opposite to position (e.g., long position → sell algo)
### Futures / Delivery
- **instId format**: 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**: futures don't have trailing stops or `swap close` — use `futures cancel` + `futures place` for adjustments
### Options
- **instId format**: `{uly}-{YYMMDD}-{strike}-{C|P}` — e.g. `BTC-USD-250328-95000-C`; always run `okx option instruments --uly BTC-USD` first to confirm the exact contract exists
- **tdMode**: buyers always use `cash` (full premium paid upfront, no liquidation); sellers use `cross` or `isolated` (margin required, liquidation risk)
- **sz unit**: 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 `swap algo` / `spot algo` commands do not apply to option positions; manage risk by cancelling/amending option orders directly
- **Greeks in positions**: `okx option positions` returns live portfolio Greeks (`deltaPA`, `gammaPA`, etc.) from the account's position-level calculation, while `okx option greeks` returns BS model Greeks per contract
## Global Notes
- All write commands require valid credentials in `~/.okx/config.toml` or env vars
- `--profile <name>` is required for all authenticated commands; see "Credential & Profile Check" section
- Every command result includes a `[profile: <name>]` tag for audit reference
- `--json` returns raw OKX API v5 response
- Rate limit: 60 order operations per 2 seconds per UID
- Batch operations (batch cancel, batch amend) are available via MCP tools directly if needed
- Position mode (`net` vs `long_short_mode`) affects whether `--posSide` is required
- Spot `--sz` is base currency; swap/futures `--sz` is number of contracts
