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 or create_spot_batch_orders, 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/create_spot_batch_orders - Cancel/amend:
cancel_all_spot_orders/cancel_spot_order/cancel_spot_batch_orders/amend_spot_order - Open order query:
list_spot_orders(usestatus=open) - Fill verification:
list_spot_my_trades - Account change history:
list_spot_account_book - Batch fee query:
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

Judgment Logic Summary
| Condition | Action |
|---|---|
| User asks to check balance before buying | Must call get_spot_accounts first; place order only if sufficient |
| User specifies buy/sell at target price | Use type=limit at user-provided price |
| User asks for fastest fill at current market | Prefer 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-loss | Clearly state TP/SL is not supported; provide manual limit alternative |
| Any order placement request | Require explicit final user confirmation before create_spot_order |
| User has not replied with clear confirmation | Keep order as draft; no trading execution |
| Confirmation is stale or not from the immediately previous turn | Invalidate it and require a fresh confirmation |
| Multi-leg trading flow | Require per-leg confirmation before each create_spot_order |
| User asks to amend an unfilled buy order | Confirm price increase amount or exact target price before amend_spot_order |
| Multiple open buy orders match amendment request | Ask user to choose which order to amend before executing |
| User requests selected-order batch cancellation | Verify each order id exists/open, present list, and run cancel_spot_batch_orders only after user verification |
| User requests market slippage simulation | Use order-book depth simulation and compare weighted fill vs ticker last price |
| User requests multi-coin one-click buy | Validate summed quote requirement, then use create_spot_batch_orders |
| User requests fee comparison for multiple pairs | Use get_spot_batch_fee and convert to cost impact with latest prices |
| User requests account flow for a coin | Use list_spot_account_book and then reconcile with get_spot_accounts |
| User amount is too small | Check min_quote_amount; if not met, ask user to increase amount |
| User requests all-in buy/sell | Use available balance, then trim by minimum trade rules |
| Trigger condition not met | Do not place order; return current vs target price gap |

Error Handling
| Error Type | Typical Cause | Handling Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Insufficient balance | Not enough available USDT/coins | Return shortfall and suggest reducing order size |
| Minimum trade constraint | Below minimum amount/size | Return threshold and suggest increasing order size |
| Unsupported capability | User asks for TP/SL | Clearly state unsupported, propose manual limit-order workflow |
| Missing final confirmation | User has not clearly approved final order summary | Keep order pending and request explicit confirmation |
| Stale confirmation | Confirmation does not match the current draft or is not in the previous turn | Reject execution and ask for reconfirmation |
| Draft-only mode | User has not confirmed yet | Only run query/estimation tools; do not call create_spot_order or create_spot_batch_orders |
| Ambiguous amendment target | Multiple candidate open buy orders | Keep pending and ask user to confirm order ID/row |
| Batch-cancel ambiguity | Some requested order ids are missing/not-open | Return matched vs unmatched ids and request reconfirmation |
| Order missing/already filled | Amendment/cancellation target is invalid | Ask user to refresh open orders and retry |
| Market condition not met | Trigger condition is not satisfied | Return current price, target price, and difference |
| Pair unavailable | Currency suspended or abnormal status | Clearly state pair is currently not tradable |
Cross-Skill Workflows
Workflow A: Buy Then Amend
- Place order with
gate-exchange-spot(Case 2/9/23) - If still unfilled, amend price (Case 17)
Workflow B: Cancel Then Rebuy
- Cancel all open orders to release funds (Case 6)
- 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.
