okx-cex-bot

Run okx bot grid create with the instrument, algoOrdType (grid for spot or contract_grid for futures), price range, grid count, and investment amount. Contract grids also require direction and leverage, and the bot runs server-side on OKX once created.

Use okx bot dca create with algoOrdType spot_dca or contract_dca, an initial order amount, max safety orders, and a take-profit ratio. When maxSafetyOrds is above zero you must also provide safety order amount, price steps, and step and volume multipliers.

Yes, demo mode is supported for all bot commands. OAuth users add the --demo flag, while API-key users select a demo profile with --profile, letting you test grid and DCA bots without risking real funds.

The bot is likely already stopped, so check bot grid orders --history first to confirm its state. Also verify the algoOrdType matches the bot's actual type from the orders output, since a mismatch triggers error 50016.

The agent reports the shortfall between available and required funds and asks how to proceed. It never auto-transfers funds; you choose to transfer manually, reduce the investment size, or cancel the operation.

No, spot DCA bots only support the long direction. If you need short exposure with a Martingale strategy, use a contract DCA bot on a perpetual swap instrument with the direction set to short.
