OKX CEX Portfolio & Account CLI

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

Prerequisites

1. Install okx CLI:

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

2. 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
   

3. 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.

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:

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

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 account action

• Check balance → okx account balance (trading) or okx account asset-balance (funding)
• 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=trading, 18=funding); 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

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=trading account, 18=funding 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 --profile demo account balance shows simulated balances, not real funds

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: 10 requests per 2 seconds for account endpoints
• Positions shown are for the unified trading account; funding account assets are separate
• Account types: 6=Unified Trading Account (spot + derivatives), 18=Funding Account (deposits/withdrawals)
