OKX CEX Portfolio & Account CLI
Account balance, positions, P&L, bills, fees, and fund transfers on OKX exchange. Requires API credentials.
Prerequisites
- Install CLI:
bash
npm install -g @okx_ai/okx-trade-cli
- Configure credentials:
Or set environment variables:
bash
export OKX_API_KEY=your_key
export OKX_SECRET_KEY=your_secret
export OKX_PASSPHRASE=your_passphrase
- Test with demo mode:
bash
okx --demo account balance
Demo vs Live Mode
Always clarify before any write command whether the user wants demo or live execution.
Check which mode is active:
bash
okx config show # shows current profile and whether demo is set as default
Run a single command in demo mode by prepending
:
bash
okx --demo account balance # simulated account balance
okx --demo account transfer ... # simulated transfer (no real funds moved)
Rules for this skill:
- Read commands (balance, positions, bills, etc.): run immediately in both modes — always state which mode you used
- Write commands (, ): before executing, explicitly confirm with the user: "Execute on live account or demo (simulated)?"
- When executing in demo mode, prefix your response summary with
- When executing on live account, prefix with

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 )
- bills --archive: required for transactions older than 7 days (default window); may be slower
- set-position-mode: cannot switch to if you have both long and short positions on the same instrument
- transfer --from/--to codes: =trading account, =funding account; other values exist for sub-account flows
- max-size vs max-avail-size: is the theoretical maximum; accounts for existing orders and reserved margin
- Demo mode:
okx --demo account balance
shows simulated balances, not real funds
