What is okx-cex-trade?

A command-line trading tool for OKX, a cryptocurrency exchange. It handles spot crypto, futures, perpetual swaps, options, and event contracts.

Placing, cancelling, changing, and monitoring orders; opening or closing positions; managing leverage; and setting take-profit, stop-loss, or trailing-stop rules. It can also inspect option chains and Greeks, which measure options risk and sensitivity.

It lets an agent manage exchange activity from commands instead of requiring manual work in the OKX website. It requires configured API credentials, and demo mode can simulate trades without real funds.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add okx/agent-skills --skill okx-cex-trade

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00278	$0.07642
Opus 5	$0.00139	$0.03821
Sonnet 5	$0.00056	$0.01528
Haiku 4.5	$0.00028	$0.00764

Security

Grade A, and why

okx-cex-trade scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 456 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OKX CEX Trading CLI

Spot, perpetual swap, delivery futures, options, and event contract order management on OKX exchange. Place, cancel, amend, and monitor orders; query option chains and Greeks; trade binary outcome event contracts (Yes/No, Up/Down); set take-profit/stop-loss and trailing stops; manage leverage and positions. Requires API credentials.

CLI vs MCP tool names — Subcommands use spaces (okx swap algo place, okx bot grid create), not hyphens. Do NOT convert an MCP tool identifier (swap_place_algo_order) into a hyphen-joined CLI command (okx swap place-algo) — that will be rejected with "Unknown command". Per-module mapping tables live in references/<module>-commands.md.

Preflight

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

Prerequisites

Install okx CLI:
```
npm install -g @okx_ai/okx-trade-cli
```

Configure credentials:

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

Test with demo mode (simulated trading, no real funds):
```
okx --demo spot orders
```

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

Run both commands — the apiKey field from okx auth status --json is the auth-binary's internal state and is always false regardless of whether ~/.okx/config.toml has an API-key profile. okx config show --json is the only authoritative source for API-key presence.

okx config show --json      # reveals API-key profiles (TOML config)
okx auth status --json      # reveals OAuth session state (auth-binary state)

Apply in this order — first match wins:

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
