Key Trading Rules
- Use
BASE_QUOTEformat for trading pairs, for exampleBTC_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 create_spot_order with type=market, fill amount by side:
| side | amount meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
buy | Quote-currency amount (USDT) | "Buy 100U BTC" -> amount="100" |
sell | Base-currency quantity (BTC/ETH, etc.) | "Sell 0.01 BTC" -> amount="0.01" |
Pre-check before execution:
buymarket order: verify quote-currency balance can coveramount(USDT).sellmarket order: verify base-currency available balance can coveramount(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:
- Buy (market/limit/full-balance buy)
- Sell (full-position sell/conditional sell)
- Account query (total assets, balance checks, tradability checks)
- Order management (list open orders, amend, cancel)
- Post-trade verification (filled or not, credited amount, current holdings)
- 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_pairside(buy/sell)amount(coin quantity) orquote_amount(USDT amount)priceor 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:
- Trading pair/currency tradability status
- Minimum order amount/size and precision
- Available balance sufficiency
- User condition satisfaction (for example "buy only below 60000")
Step 3: Final User Confirmation Before Any Order Placement (Mandatory)
Before every create_spot_order, always provide an Order Draft first, then wait for explicit confirmation.
Required execution flow:
- Send order draft (no trading call yet)
- Wait for explicit user approval
- Only after approval, submit the real order
- Without approval, perform query/estimation only, never execute trading
- 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) amountmeaning 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
create_spot_orderunless 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
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:
get_spot_accounts - Rule validation:
get_currency_pair - Live price and moves:
get_spot_tickers - Order placement:
create_spot_order - Cancel/amend:
cancel_all_spot_orders/cancel_spot_order/amend_spot_order - Open order query:
list_spot_orders(usestatus=open) - Fill verification:
list_spot_my_trades
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
