# 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`](../_shared/preflight.md).
Use `metadata.version` from this file's frontmatter as the reference for Step 2.

## Prerequisites

1. Install `okx` CLI:
   ```bash
   npm install -g @okx_ai/okx-trade-cli
   ```
2. Configure credentials:
   ```bash
   okx config init   # select site -> follow browser OAuth flow
   ```
3. Test with demo mode (simulated trading, no real funds):
   ```bash
   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](../_shared/preflight.md) 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.

```bash
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:

- `config show --json` has any profile with a non-empty `api_key` field → **API Key mode**. Proceed to Step B.
- No API-key profile **AND** `auth status --json` returns `"status":"logged_in"` → **OAuth mode**. Proceed to Step B.
- No API-key profile **AND** `"status":"pending"` — login is in progress, wait for it to complete.
- No API-key profile **AND** `"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. Curre
