MCP Mode

Read and strictly follow references/mcp.md, then execute this skill's TradFi workflow.

SKILL.md keeps routing and domain constraints.
references/mcp.md is the authoritative MCP execution layer for query/mutation separation, confirmation gates, and post-action verification.

MCP Tools

Query (read-only) — use only MCP-documented parameters.

#	Tool	Purpose
1	`cex_tradfi_query_order_list`	List open orders.
2	`cex_tradfi_query_order_history_list`	Query order history list (filled/cancelled).
3	`cex_tradfi_query_position_list`	List current positions.
4	`cex_tradfi_query_position_history_list`	List historical positions/settlements.
5	`cex_tradfi_query_categories`	Query TradFi category list.
6	`cex_tradfi_query_symbols`	List symbols (by category if supported).
7	`cex_tradfi_query_symbol_ticker`	Get ticker(s) for symbol(s).
8	`cex_tradfi_query_symbol_detail`	Get symbol config (required before place order: leverages, min_order_volume, step_order_volume). If no result, symbol may not exist — do not place order.
9	`cex_tradfi_query_symbol_kline`	Get kline/candlestick for symbol.
10	`cex_tradfi_query_user_assets`	Get user account/balance (assets).
11	`cex_tradfi_query_mt5_account_info`	Get MT5 account info.

Trading (write) — exact tool names and parameters must match the Gate TradFi MCP tool definition. Conditions and value limits (required/optional, ranges, allowed symbols) must be declared in the skill and in each reference; do not pass undocumented parameters.

#	Tool (name per MCP)	Purpose
12	`cex_tradfi_create_tradfi_order`	Place new order; supports take-profit/stop-loss. Before calling: use `cex_tradfi_query_symbol_detail` to validate symbol and get min_order_volume, step_order_volume, leverages.
13	`cex_tradfi_update_order`	Amend order price, take-profit, stop-loss only (size not supported).
14	`cex_tradfi_delete_order`	Cancel/delete one order. Does not support batch; one order per call.
15	`cex_tradfi_update_position`	Modify position take-profit/stop-loss price only (leverage, margin not supported).
16	`cex_tradfi_close_position` (or MCP equivalent)	Close position (full or partial). Full close: position identifier only, do not pass size/close_volume.

Parameter conditions and limits

For each MCP tool, input conditions and limits (required/optional parameters, value ranges, allowed symbols, precision) are defined in the MCP. This skill and each reference document must declare those conditions and limits so the agent and user know what can be sent.
In each trading reference (place-order.md, amend-order.md, cancel-order.md, modify-position.md, close-position.md), include a Parameters section that states: required/optional params, value constraints, and any MCP-specific rules. Do not add parameters that the MCP does not document.
If the user provides a value outside allowed range or a missing required param, ask for correction before building the confirmation payload.

User confirmation (trading only)

Before calling any trading MCP tool (place order, amend order, cancel order, modify position, close position): output all parameters that will be sent to the MCP so the user can review them. Ask the user to confirm (e.g. "Confirm: place order with symbol=X, side=Y, size=Z, price=W. Reply yes to execute."). Do not call the tool until the user explicitly confirms.
This applies to every write operation; query-only flows do not require confirmation.

Response parameter explanation (trading only)

After the trading MCP tool returns: in the response to the user, explain the parameters that were used (e.g. symbol, side, size, price, order_id, or position identifier) and the outcome (e.g. order created, order amended, order cancelled, position modified, position closed). Include a short summary table or list of the sent parameters and the result (success or error code/message). This is declared in this skill so the agent always reports back what was sent and what happened.

Execution

1. Intent and parameters

Determine module: Query (orders, positions, market, assets) or Trading (place, amend, cancel, modify position, close).
For each MCP tool call, use only the parameters defined in the Gate TradFi MCP tool definition. Do not pass parameters that are not documented in the MCP.
Extract from user message only those keys that the MCP actually supports. Respect conditions and limits declared in the skill and in the reference.

2. Read sub-module and call tools

Load the corresponding reference under references/ and follow its Workflow.
Query: Call query tools with extracted/prompted parameters; no confirmation needed.
Trading: Build the parameter set per the reference and MCP; output parameters for user confirmation; only after user confirms, call the trading MCP tool; then in the response, explain the parameters used and the outcome.

3. Report

Query: Use the sub-module Report Template (tables for orders/positions/tickers, assets).
Trading: Use the reference Report Template; include parameter summary (what was sent) and result (success or error).

Domain Knowledge

TradFi: Gate’s traditional finance product set (e.g. FX, MT5). Symbols and categories are product-specific.
Query: Orders, positions, market, assets — use only MCP-documented parameters.
Trading: Place/amend/cancel orders and modify/close positions — use only MCP-documented tools and parameters; declare conditions/limits; require user confirmation before execution; explain parameters and outcome in the response.
Order id for cancel/amend: The order id used by cex_tradfi_delete_order and cex_tradfi_update_order must come from cex_tradfi_query_order_list. Do not use the id or log_id returned by cex_tradfi_create_tradfi_order for cancel or amend.

Error Handling

Situation	Action
Tool not found / 4xx/5xx	Tell user the TradFi service or tool may be unavailable; suggest retry or check Gate MCP configuration.
Empty list	Report "No open orders" / "No positions" / "No symbols" etc., and do not assume error.
Invalid symbol / order not found	Report "Order not found" or "Symbol not found" and suggest checking symbol list.
Auth / permission error	Do not expose credentials; ask user to check API key or MCP auth for TradFi.
Trading error (e.g. insufficient margin, invalid price)	Show the error message; in the response, restate the parameters that were sent and suggest correction.

Safety Rules

Query: No confirmation required; display data after tool success.
Trading: Always output parameters for user confirmation before calling place/amend/cancel/modify/close; never execute a write operation without explicit user confirmation. After execution, always explain in the response the parameters that were used and the outcome.
Sensitive data: Do not log or store credentials or balances; display only in the current response.

Report Template

Query — After each query:

Orders: Table with columns such as symbol, side, size, price, status, time (from list response).
Positions: Table with position fields (e.g. symbol, side, size, entry, margin) or "No open positions."
Market: Category list; symbol list; ticker table (symbol, last, 24h change, volume); or symbol kline summary (interval, range, OHLC).
Assets: List of assets and balances; or MT5 account/server/balance/equity table; or "Unable to load" on error.

Trading — After each place/amend/cancel/modify/close:

Parameters used: List or table of the parameters sent to the MCP (e.g. symbol, side, size, price, order_id).
Result: Success (e.g. order id, status) or error (code/message). Suggest next step if error.
