Key Trading Rules

  • Use BASE_QUOTE format for trading pairs, for example BTC_USDT.
  • Check quote-currency balance first before buy orders (for example USDT).
  • Amount-based buys must satisfy min_quote_amount (commonly 10U).
  • Quantity-based buys/sells must satisfy minimum size and precision (min_base_amount / amount_precision).
  • Condition requests (such as "buy 2% lower" or "sell when +500") are implemented by calculating a target price and placing a limit order; no background watcher process is used.
  • Take-profit/stop-loss (TP/SL) is not supported: do not create trigger orders and do not execute automatic TP/SL at target price.

Market Order Parameter Extraction Rules (Mandatory)

When calling cex_spot_create_spot_order with type=market, fill amount by side:

sideamount meaningExample
buyQuote-currency amount (USDT)"Buy 100U BTC" -> amount="100"
sellBase-currency quantity (BTC/ETH, etc.)"Sell 0.01 BTC" -> amount="0.01"

Pre-check before execution:

  • buy market order: verify quote-currency balance can cover amount (USDT).
  • sell market order: verify base-currency available balance can cover amount (coin quantity).

Workflow

When the user asks for any spot trading operation, follow this sequence.

Step 1: Identify Task Type

Classify the request into one of these six categories:

  1. Buy (market/limit/full-balance buy)
  2. Sell (full-position sell/conditional sell)
  3. Account query (total assets, balance checks, tradability checks)
  4. Order management (list open orders, amend, cancel)
  5. Post-trade verification (filled or not, credited amount, current holdings)
  6. Combined actions (sell then buy, buy then place sell order, trend-based buy)

Step 2: Extract Parameters and Run Pre-checks

Extract key fields:

  • currency / currency_pair
  • side (buy/sell)
  • amount (coin quantity) or quote_amount (USDT amount)
  • price or price condition (for example "2% below current")
  • trigger condition (execute only when condition is met)

When type=market, normalize parameters as:

  • side=buy: amount = quote_amount (USDT amount)
  • side=sell: amount = base_amount (base-coin quantity)

Pre-check order:

  1. Trading pair/currency tradability status
  2. Minimum order amount/size and precision
  3. Available balance sufficiency
  4. User condition satisfaction (for example "buy only below 60000")

Step 3: Final User Confirmation Before Any Order Placement (Mandatory)

Before every cex_spot_create_spot_order or cex_spot_create_spot_batch_orders, always provide an Order Draft first, then wait for explicit confirmation.

Required execution flow:

  1. Send order draft (no trading call yet)
  2. Wait for explicit user approval
  3. Only after approval, submit the real order
  4. Without approval, perform query/estimation only, never execute trading
  5. Treat confirmation as single-use: after one execution, request confirmation again for any next order

Required confirmation fields:

  • trading pair (currency_pair)
  • side and order type (buy/sell, market/limit)
  • amount meaning and value
  • limit price (if applicable) or pricing basis
  • estimated fill / estimated cost or proceeds
  • main risk note (for example slippage)

Recommended draft wording:

  • Order Draft: BTC_USDT, buy, market, amount=100 USDT, estimated fill around current ask, risk: slippage in fast markets. Reply "Confirm order" to place it.

Allowed confirmation responses (examples):

  • Confirm order, Confirm, Proceed, Yes, place it

Hard blocking rules (non-bypassable):

  • NEVER call cex_spot_create_spot_order unless the user explicitly confirms in the immediately previous turn.
  • If the conversation topic changes, parameters change, or multiple options are discussed, invalidate old confirmation and request a new one.
  • For multi-leg execution (for example case 15/22), require confirmation for each leg separately before each cex_spot_create_spot_order.

If user confirmation is missing, ambiguous, or negative:

  • do not place the order
  • return a pending status and ask for explicit confirmation
  • continue with read-only actions only (balance checks, market quotes, fee estimation)

Step 4: Call Tools by Scenario

Use only the minimal tool set required for the task:

  • Balance and available funds: cex_spot_get_spot_accounts
  • Rule validation: cex_spot_get_currency_pair
  • Live price and moves: cex_spot_get_spot_tickers
  • Order placement: cex_spot_create_spot_order / cex_spot_create_spot_batch_orders
  • Cancel/amend: cex_spot_cancel_all_spot_orders / cex_spot_cancel_spot_order / cex_spot_cancel_spot_batch_orders / cex_spot_amend_spot_order / cex_spot_amend_spot_batch_orders
  • Open order query: cex_spot_list_spot_orders (use status=open)
  • Fill verification: cex_spot_list_spot_my_trades
  • Account change history: cex_spot_list_spot_account_book
  • Batch fee query: cex_spot_get_spot_batch_fee

Step 5: Return Actionable Result and Status

The response must include:

  • Whether execution succeeded (or why it did not execute)
  • Core numbers (price, quantity, amount, balance change)
  • If condition not met, clearly explain why no order is placed now

User specifies buy/sell at target priceUse type=limit at user-provided price
User asks for fastest fill at current marketPrefer market; if "fast limit" is requested, use best book price
Market buy (buy)Fill amount with USDT quote amount, not base quantity
Market sell (sell)Fill amount with base-coin quantity, not USDT amount
User requests take-profit/stop-lossClearly state TP/SL is not supported; provide manual limit alternative
Any order placement requestRequire explicit final user confirmation before cex_spot_create_spot_order

Confirmation is stale or not from the immediately previous turnInvalidate it and require a fresh confirmation
Multi-leg trading flowRequire per-leg confirmation before each cex_spot_create_spot_order
User asks to amend an unfilled buy orderConfirm price increase amount or exact target price before cex_spot_amend_spot_order
Multiple open buy orders match amendment requestAsk user to choose which order to amend before executing
User requests selected-order batch cancellationVerify each order id exists/open, present list, and run cex_spot_cancel_spot_batch_orders only after user verification
User requests batch amend for open ordersFilter target pair open buy orders (max 5), compute repriced levels, and run cex_spot_amend_spot_batch_orders only after user verification

Cross-Skill Workflows

Workflow A: Buy Then Amend

  1. Place order with gate-exchange-spot (Case 2/9/23)
  2. If still unfilled, amend price (Case 17)

Workflow B: Cancel Then Rebuy

  1. Cancel all open orders to release funds (Case 6)
  2. Re-enter with updated strategy (Case 1/2/9)

Safety Rules

  • For all-in/full-balance/one-click requests, restate key amount and symbol before execution.
  • For condition-based requests, explicitly show how the trigger threshold is calculated.
  • If user asks for TP/SL, do not pretend support; clearly state it is not supported.
  • Before any order placement, always request explicit final user confirmation.
  • Without explicit confirmation, stay in draft/query/estimation mode and never execute trade placement.
  • Do not reuse old confirmations; if anything changes, re-draft and re-confirm.
  • For fast-fill requests, warn about possible slippage or order-book depth limits.
  • For chained actions (sell then buy), report step-by-step results clearly.
  • If any condition is not met, do not force execution; explain and provide alternatives.
