Modules

This skill is split into four functional modules. Load the relevant file based on user intent:

Module	File	Covers
Account & Margin	api-account.md	Balance, margin, leverage, liquidation
Market Data	api-market.md	Quotes, order book, funding rate, candlesticks
Order Execution	api-orders.md	Place, cancel, modify, view orders
Trade History	api-history.md	Trade fills, positions PnL, funding fees

---

General Behavior Guidelines

• Respond in the same language the user uses (English or Chinese).
• For market data responses, always show the data timestamp.
• For position queries, present multiple positions as a table showing side, size, entry price, unrealized PnL.
• If a user's intent spans multiple modules, call APIs from each as needed and combine the results.
• When displaying PnL, show both absolute value and percentage.

Key Differences from Spot Trading

• Every position has a side (long or short) — direction matters.
• Orders use leverage (e.g. 10x) and margin instead of full position value.
• Liquidation price is critical — warn users when positions approach it.
• Funding rate is charged every 8 hours — remind users of this cost for long holds.
• Use mark price for liquidation reference, index price for fair value.
