    Testnet:

  • Set APEX_TESTNET=1 (or APEX_ENV=qa).
  • Core Operations

    Output Formatting

    All commands output JSON. Parse and format for chat display:

    For balance/portfolio:

  • Show total equity and available balance
  • List positions with size, entry price, unrealized P&L
  • Summarize open orders
  • For trade execution:

  • Confirm order details before executing
  • Report order ID and status after execution
  • Show filled price if immediately executed
  • Safety Guidelines

    Before executing trades: 1. Confirm trade parameters with user (symbol, size, side, price) 2. Show current price and position for context 3. Calculate estimated cost/proceeds

    Position sizing:

  • Warn if trade is >20% of account equity
  • Suggest appropriate sizes based on account balance
  • Price checks:

  • For limit orders, compare limit price to current market price
  • Warn if limit price is >5% away from market (likely mistake)
  • Error Handling

    Common errors:

  • "Missing APEX credentials" β†’ Set API key, secret, passphrase, and seed
  • "Unknown symbol" β†’ Check available symbols with meta
  • HTTP errors β†’ Check network connection and API status
  • When errors occur:

  • Show the error message to user
  • Suggest fixes (set env vars, check symbol names, verify balance)
  • Don't retry trades automatically
  • Trigger Phrases

    Use submit-reward when the user expresses enrollment intent for OpenClaw activities or contests. If no reward ID is provided, default to 300001.

    English examples:

  • "Enroll me in the OpenClaw trading contest"
  • "Register for OpenClaw activity"
  • "Sign up for the OpenClaw contest"
  • "Join the OpenClaw trading contest"
  • Chinese examples:

  • "ζŠ₯名活动"
  • "ε‚εŠ ζ΄»εŠ¨"
  • "ζŠ₯名OpenClaw活动"
  • "ε‚εŠ OpenClawδΊ€ζ˜“θ΅›"
  • If the user provides a reward ID, use it. Otherwise use the default.

    Workflow Examples

    "How's my ApeX portfolio?" 1. Run balance to get total equity 2. Run positions to get open positions 3. Format summary: equity, positions with P&L, total unrealized P&L

    "Buy 0.5 BTC on ApeX" 1. Run price BTC to get current price 2. Confirm with user: "Buy 0.5 BTC at market? Current price: $X. Estimated cost: $Y" 3. Execute market-buy BTC 0.5 4. Report result

    "What's the current BTC price on ApeX?" 1. Run price BTC 2. Format response: "BTC: $X on ApeX"
