OKX CEX Smart Money CLI

Smart Money leaderboard, trader analytics, position tracking, and aggregated consensus signals.

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:

```bash

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

```

1. Configure credentials:

```bash

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

```

1. Verify: okx smartmoney traders-by-filter --limit 5

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

Credential & Profile Check

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

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.
• No API-key profile AND auth status --json returns "status":"logged_in" → OAuth mode. Proceed.
• 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, load okx-cex-auth skill and follow login steps, wait for completion.

Smart Money does not support demo mode (leaderboard data is live-only). Always use live mode silently — don't mention it unless there's an error.

• API Key users: use --profile (the profile without demo=true).
• OAuth users: no flag needed (live is the default).

On authentication errors (401 / "Session expired" / "Run okx auth login first"): stop immediately, load okx-cex-auth skill and follow re-authentication steps, then retry.

Skill Routing

Command Index (10 commands, all read-only)

Trader family (6)

Signal / coin family (4)

> Time anchor: signal-trend-by-{filter,trader} take an optional --asOfTime (10-digit UTC hour, e.g. 2026050100). Returns the latest --limit buckets ending at that anchor. Omit --asOfTime to use the current UTC hour. signal-overview-by-{filter,trader} does not expose any time input — handler always uses the current hour.

> Multi-coin selection: signal-overview-by-filter and signal-overview-by-trader accept --topInstruments (top-N hottest) or --instCcyList BTC,ETH,SOL (explicit base ccy list). The two flags are mutually exclusive. Passing neither defaults to --topInstruments=20.

> ⚠ Linear-only scope: All four signal-* commands aggregate USDT-margined and USDS-margined contracts only. Coin-margined contracts (BTC-USD-SWAP, BTC-USD-DELIVERY, ETH-USD-SWAP, …) are excluded by upstream — a trader's coin-margined positions are silently dropped from longNotional / shortNotional / tradersWithPosition. If a trader holds large coin-margined exposure but no linear position on that coin, they will not appear in the signal at all. To see a trader's full position book including coin-margined, run smartmoney trader-positions --authorId .

> Need a trader's full picture? The old smartmoney trader composite command is removed. Run performance-by-trader, trader-positions, and trader-orders-history in parallel.

Operation Flow

Step 0 — Credential & Profile Check

Before any authenticated command: see Credential & Profile Check. Always use live mode silently.

Step 1 — Identify intent

Trader discovery / ranking:

• "推荐交易员" / "top traders" / "牛人榜" → smartmoney traders-by-filter with sorting/filtering. See {baseDir}/references/trader-commands.md.
• "看看某个交易员" / "trader detail" → run performance-by-trader, trader-positions, trader-orders-history in parallel (the old composite smartmoney trader is removed).
• "搜索 alice / 小明" / "find trader by nickname" → smartmoney search-trader --keyword (returns ≤10 matches with authorId to feed into other tools).
• "verify these authorIds" / 已知 authorId → smartmoney performance-by-trader --authorIds (direct lookup; --sortBy / --period honored, defaults pnl / 90).
• "他的当前持仓" / "current positions only" → smartmoney trader-positions --authorId .
• "他的成交记录" / "trade history" → smartmoney trader-orders-history --authorId (paginated).
• "历史平仓" / "closed positions" / "realized PnL track record" → smartmoney trader-positions-history --authorId (paginated).

Signal analysis:

• "BTC 聪明钱信号" / "smart money signal for BTC" → smartmoney signal-overview-by-filter --instCcyList BTC. See {baseDir}/references/signal-commands.md.
• "BTC ETH SOL 这几个币的信号" / "signals for these specific coins" → smartmoney signal-overview-by-filter --instCcyList BTC,ETH,SOL.
• "这几个交易员看哪些币？" / "consensus among these specific traders" → smartmoney signal-overview-by-trader --authorIds (defaults to top-20 hottest among the group, or pass --instCcyList).
• "聪明钱关注哪些币？" / "what are smart money trading right now?" → smartmoney signal-overview-by-filter (defaults to --topInstruments=20). See {baseDir}/references/signal-commands.md.
• "信号趋势" / "signal trend over time" → smartmoney signal-trend-by-filter --instCcy [--asOfTime ] [--limit 24] (or signal-trend-by-trader --authorIds --instCcy for an authorIds-scoped trend).

Step 2 — Execute and present

All commands are READ-only — no confirmation needed. Always pass --json and render results as Markdown tables.

For multi-step workflows (recommend traders then drill down, signal analysis with context), read {baseDir}/references/workflows.md.

Global Notes

• Security: Never ask users to paste API keys or secrets into chat.
• Output: Always pass --json to list/query commands and render results as a Markdown table — never paste raw terminal output.
• Network errors: If commands fail with a connection error, prompt user to check VPN: curl -I https://www.okx.com
• Language: Always respond in the user's language.
• Time inputs: signal-trend-by-{filter,trader} take an optional --asOfTime anchor (10-digit UTC hour); omit to use the current UTC hour. --limit controls how many buckets are returned ending at that anchor. signal-overview-by-{filter,trader} takes no time input — handler always uses the current hour.
