OKX CEX Portfolio & Account CLI

Account balance, positions, P&L, bills, fees, and fund transfers on OKX exchange. Requires API credentials.

Preflight

Before running any command, follow ../_shared/preflight.md. Use metadata.version from this file's frontmatter as the reference for Step 2.

Prerequisites

1. Install okx CLI:

   npm install -g @okx_ai/okx-trade-cli
   

2. Configure credentials:

   okx config init   # select site -> follow browser OAuth flow
   

3. Test with demo mode (simulated trading, no real funds):

   okx --demo account balance
   

Security: NEVER accept credentials in chat. Guide users to okx config init for setup.

Credential & Profile Check

Run this check before any authenticated command. The auth method is detected during preflight Step 2 and remembered for the session.

Step A — Verify credentials

Check both sources (see preflight Step 2 for the decision table). okx auth status --json alone is insufficient — its apiKey field is always false and does NOT reflect the TOML config.

okx config show --json      # authoritative for API-key presence
okx auth status --json      # authoritative for OAuth session state

Branch in this order — first match wins:

• config show has any profile with a non-empty api_key — API Key mode. Proceed to Step B.
• No API-key profile AND auth status returns "status": "logged_in" — OAuth mode. Proceed to Step B.
• No API-key profile AND auth status returns "status": "pending" — login in progress, wait.
• No API-key profile AND auth status returns "status": "not_logged_in" — stop all operations, load okx-cex-auth skill and follow login steps, wait for completion.

Step B — Confirm trading mode

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
2. Current message has no explicit declaration → check conversation context for a previous choice:
   • Found → reuse it, inform user
   • Not found → ask: "Live (实盘) or Demo (模拟盘)?" — wait for answer before proceeding

How to apply the mode depends on auth method (detected in Step A):

• API Key users: run okx config show --json to discover available profile names and their demo settings. Use --profile <name> to select the correct one.
• OAuth users: omit flags for live trading; add --demo for simulated trading. Do not use --profile to switch modes.

Handling Authentication Errors

Authentication error (error contains "401", "Session expired", or "Run okx auth login first"):

1. Stop immediately — do not retry the same command
2. Inform the user: "Authentication failed. Your session may have expired."
3. Load okx-cex-auth skill and follow the re-authentication steps
4. After successful re-authentication, retry the original command

Demo vs Live Mode

# API Key user
okx --profile okx-prod  account balance     # 实盘
okx --profile okx-demo  account balance     # 模拟盘

# OAuth user
okx account balance                          # 实盘 (default)
okx --demo account balance                   # 模拟盘

Rules:

• Read commands (balance, positions, bills, etc.): always state which mode was used
• Write commands (transfer, set-position-mode): mode must be confirmed before execution (see "Credential & Profile Check" Step B); transfer especially — wrong mode means wrong account
• Every response after a command must append: [mode: live] or [mode: demo]

Skill Routing

• For regular spot/swap/futures/algo orders → use okx-cex-trade
• For grid and DCA trading bots → use okx-cex-bot

Cross-Skill Workflows

Pre-trade balance check

User: "I want to buy 0.1 BTC — do I have enough USDT?"

1. okx-cex-portfolio okx account asset-balance --valuation   → total assets in USDT (trading/funding/earn breakdown)
   → check details.trading (available in trading account)
   → if trading balance < needed: check details.funding — may need to transfer
2. okx-cex-market    okx market ticker BTC-USDT              → check current price
        ↓ user approves
3. okx-cex-trade     okx spot place --instId BTC-USDT --side buy --ordType market --sz 0.1

Pre-bot balance check

User: "I want to start a BTC grid bot with 1000 USDT"

1. okx-cex-portfolio okx account asset-balance --valuation   → total assets in USDT (trading/funding/earn breakdown)
   → check details.trading ≥ 1000 (funds must be in trading account for grid bot)
   → if details.funding has the USDT instead: use account transfer first
2. okx-cex-market    okx market candles BTC-USDT --bar 4H --limit 50  → determine price range
        ↓ user approves

Review open positions and P&L

User: "Show me my current positions and how they're performing"

1. okx-cex-portfolio okx account positions                  → open positions with UPL
2. okx-cex-portfolio okx account positions-history          → recently closed positions
3. okx-cex-market    okx market ticker BTC-USDT-SWAP        → check current price vs entry

Transfer and trade

Check max position size before entering

User: "How much BTC can I buy with cross margin?"

1. okx-cex-portfolio okx account balance                    → total equity
2. okx-cex-portfolio okx account max-size --instId BTC-USDT-SWAP --tdMode cross  → max buy/sell size
3. okx-cex-market    okx market ticker BTC-USDT-SWAP        → current price reference

Operation Flow

Step 0 — Credential & Profile Check

Before any authenticated command: see Credential & Profile Check. Determine auth method and trading mode before executing.

After every command result: append [mode: live] or [mode: demo] to the response

Step 1: Identify account action

• Check balance → okx account balance (trading equity only) or okx account asset-balance (funding balances) or okx account asset-balance --valuation (total across all accounts in USDT)
• View open positions → okx account positions
• View closed positions + PnL → okx account positions-history
• View transaction history → okx account bills
• Check fee tier → okx account fees
• Check account settings → okx account config
• Calculate order size → okx account max-size or okx account max-avail-size
• Check withdrawal limit → okx account max-withdrawal
• Transfer funds → okx account transfer
• Change position mode → okx account set-position-mode

Step 2: Run read commands immediately — confirm profile (Step 0) then writes

Read commands (1–10): run immediately, no confirmation needed.

• ccy filter: use currency symbol like USDT, BTC, ETH
• --instType for fees/positions: SPOT, SWAP, FUTURES, OPTION
• --archive for bills: access older records beyond the default window
• --tdMode for max-size: cash (spot), cross, or isolated

Write commands (11–12): confirm once before executing.

• set-position-mode: confirm mode (net = one-directional, long_short_mode = hedge mode); switching may affect open positions
• transfer: confirm --ccy, --amt, --from, --to (account types: 6=funding, 18=trading); verify source balance first

Step 3: Verify after writes

• After set-position-mode: run okx account config to confirm posMode updated
• After transfer: run okx account balance and okx account asset-balance to confirm balances updated

CLI Command Reference

Account Balance — Trading Account

okx account balance [ccy] [--json]

Where Can the Money Live?

OKX splits assets across multiple sub-accounts. The --valuation breakdown maps directly:

Typical flow when user says "I have X USDT but can't trade":

1. okx account asset-balance --valuation → look at each details.* field
2. If details.funding is large and details.trading is small → the funds are in the funding account
3. Transfer: okx account transfer --ccy USDT --amt <n> --from 6 --to 18
4. Confirm: okx account balance USDT → equity should now reflect the transferred amount

Edge Cases

• No balance shown: balance is filtered to > 0 — if nothing shows, all currencies have zero balance
• Positions command returns empty: no open contracts; spot holdings are not shown here (use account balance)
• bills --archive: required for transactions older than 7 days (default window); may be slower
• set-position-mode: cannot switch to net if you have both long and short positions on the same instrument
• transfer --from/--to codes: 6=funding account, 18=trading account; other values exist for sub-account flows
• max-size vs max-avail-size: max-size is the theoretical maximum; max-avail-size accounts for existing orders and reserved margin
• Demo mode: okx --demo account balance (OAuth) or okx --profile <demo-profile> account balance (API Key) shows simulated balances, not real funds

Global Notes

• All write commands require valid credentials (OAuth session or API key in ~/.okx/config.toml)
• Auth method and trading mode are determined in "Credential & Profile Check"; see that section for parameter rules
• Every command result includes a [mode: live] or [mode: demo] tag for audit reference
• --json returns the raw OKX API v5 response by default. Add --env to wrap the output as {"env": "<live|demo>", "profile": "<name>", "data": <response>}
• Rate limit: 10 requests per 2 seconds for account endpoints
• Positions shown are for the unified trading account; funding account assets are separate
• Account types: 6=Funding Account (deposits/withdrawals), 18=Unified Trading Account (spot + derivatives)
