MyOKX(EEA) Trading Bot in Python ================================ .. meta:: :description: Build a MyOKX(EEA) trading bot in Python with LumiBot and CCXT. Create MyOKX(EEA) API keys, connect them, and run a regular or AI agent strategy. :keywords: MyOKX(EEA) trading bot, MyOKX(EEA) API, MyOKX(EEA) Python, agentic trading MyOKX(EEA), AI trading bot MyOKX(EEA), algorithmic trading MyOKX(EEA), ccxt myokx This guide shows how to build a MyOKX(EEA) trading bot in Python with LumiBot, for both AI agent trading and algorithmic trading. LumiBot connects to MyOKX(EEA) through CCXT, the open source library that talks to more than 100 crypto exchanges. You will create a MyOKX(EEA) account and API key, connect it, and run two examples: a simple algorithmic trading bot and an agentic trading bot where an AI agent makes the calls. MyOKX(EEA) at a glance ---------------------- .. list-table:: :widths: 35 65 * - CCXT exchange id - ``myokx`` * - Markets - Spot * - Testnet (sandbox) - Yes * - Credentials - API key, API passphrase (CCXT calls it ``password``), API secret * - Live data streams - prices, order book, trades, candles, your orders, your balance, your positions * - CCXT request spacing - about 110 ms between requests * - Official site - https://my.okx.com * - API docs - https://my.okx.com/docs-v5/en/#overview * - Fees - https://my.okx.com/pages/products/fees.html What is MyOKX(EEA)? ------------------- MyOKX is the OKX exchange site at my.okx.com. It offers spot trading and Convert, using the OKX v5 API served from the eea.okx.com host. Sign up for MyOKX(EEA) ---------------------- #. Register an OKX account on my.okx.com with your email, phone number, or an Apple or Google account. #. Complete identity verification (KYC). OKX says it usually takes a few minutes to submit and up to 24 hours to finish. #. For practice, open Trade, then Demo Trading. Your normal OKX login works there, and demo API keys are made separately from real ones. `Open a MyOKX(EEA) account `_ Create a MyOKX(EEA) API key --------------------------- #. Log in on my.okx.com and open the API page from your profile (https://my.okx.com/account/my-api). #. Click Create API key and pick the account it is for (your main account or a sub-account). #. Enter a name and a passphrase, and add the IP address of your bot (up to 20 per key). #. Under Permissions, choose Read and Trade. #. Save the API key, secret key and passphrase. OKX cannot recover the passphrase, so a lost one means making a new key. **Which permissions to turn on:** Turn on Read (view balances and order history) and Trade (place and cancel orders). Leave Withdraw off. A bot never needs to move money out of your account. .. warning:: Never turn on withdrawals for a MyOKX(EEA) trading bot key. Bind the key to your server's IP address when MyOKX(EEA) lets you, keep the secret out of your code and out of Git, and delete the key if it ever leaks. Connect MyOKX(EEA) to LumiBot ----------------------------- The simplest way: put these lines in a ``.env`` file next to your strategy. LumiBot loads the file, sees ``TRADING_BROKER=myokx`` and connects to MyOKX(EEA) for you, so your strategy needs no broker code. .. code-block:: bash TRADING_BROKER=myokx MYOKX_API_KEY=your_apiKey MYOKX_API_PASSPHRASE=your_password MYOKX_API_SECRET=your_secret MYOKX_SANDBOX=true # testnet; remove this line for your live account LumiBot reads exactly the fields CCXT needs for MyOKX(EEA) (``apiKey``, ``password``, ``secret``). If one is missing, LumiBot stops at start-up and names the variable you still need. You can also build the broker in code. This is handy when one script talks to more than one exchange, or when you need extra CCXT options. The keys in the config are CCXT's own credential names for MyOKX(EEA): .. code-block:: python import os MYOKX_CONFIG = { "exchange_id": "myokx", "apiKey": os.environ.get("MYOKX_API_KEY"), "password": os.environ.get("MYOKX_API_PASSPHRASE"), "secret": os.environ.get("MYOKX_API_SECRET"), "sandbox": True, # testnet first; set False for your live account } from lumibot.brokers import Ccxt broker = Ccxt(MYOKX_CONFIG) # then: MyStrategy(broker=broker, ...) Either way, LumiBot turns on CCXT's built-in rate limiting for you. Practice on the MyOKX(EEA) testnet ---------------------------------- OKX runs Demo Trading for the API, using your normal OKX login. Create a separate key under Trade, Demo Trading, Personal Center, Demo Trading API. Demo keys only work in Demo Trading. Set ``MYOKX_SANDBOX=true`` (or ``"sandbox": True`` in a code config) to send LumiBot requests there. CCXT then adds OKX's demo trading header on the same eea.okx.com host. CCXT sends sandbox requests to: https://eea.okx.com. Testnet and live accounts use different keys. Algorithmic trading example: a simple MyOKX(EEA) bot ---------------------------------------------------- This bot buys about 45 EUR of BTC on MyOKX(EEA) once and then holds it. It is a starting point to check that your keys, balances and orders work. If the exchange's minimum order is larger, raise the amount. .. code-block:: python from lumibot.entities import Asset from lumibot.strategies import Strategy class MyokxBuyOnce(Strategy): """Buy a small amount of BTC once, then hold it.""" def initialize(self): self.sleeptime = "1H" self.set_market("24/7") # crypto trades all day, every day def on_trading_iteration(self): coin = Asset("BTC", asset_type=Asset.AssetType.CRYPTO) if self.get_position(coin) is not None: return # already holding BTC price = self.get_last_price(coin, quote=self.quote_asset) if price: quantity = round(45 / price, 6) # about 45 EUR worth order = self.create_order(coin, quantity, "buy", quote=self.quote_asset) self.submit_order(order) if __name__ == "__main__": # LumiBot reads TRADING_BROKER and the keys from your .env file. strategy = MyokxBuyOnce(quote_asset=Asset("EUR", asset_type=Asset.AssetType.CRYPTO)) strategy.run_live() Agentic trading example: an AI agent that trades on MyOKX(EEA) -------------------------------------------------------------- Agentic trading means an AI agent reads the market and decides what to do. In this example one LumiBot agent looks at prices and your MyOKX(EEA) account, then places the orders itself. There is no Python logic in between: you set the rules in plain English in the prompt, such as what it may trade and how big each order can be. This follows the same pattern as LumiBot's AI trading team examples. .. code-block:: python from lumibot.entities import Asset from lumibot.strategies import Strategy class MyokxAITrader(Strategy): """One AI agent researches the market and places the trades itself.""" def initialize(self): self.sleeptime = "4H" self.set_market("24/7") self.agents.create( name="trader", model="openai/gpt-6-luna", reasoning_effort="high", allow_trading=True, system_prompt=( "You manage a small crypto account on MyOKX(EEA). " "You may trade BTC and ETH against EUR (asset_type 'crypto', quote_symbol 'EUR'), or hold cash. " "Before every order, call account_portfolio, account_positions and " "market_last_price for that exact symbol in the same run. " "Keep each order under 10% of the account value. " "Explain each decision in one short paragraph." ), ) def on_trading_iteration(self): self.agents["trader"].run( task_prompt="Review recent BTC/EUR and ETH/EUR prices and your current holdings, then decide whether to buy, sell or hold.", context={"exchange": "MyOKX(EEA)", "quote": "EUR", "date": self.get_datetime().isoformat()}, ) if __name__ == "__main__": # LumiBot reads TRADING_BROKER and the keys from your .env file. strategy = MyokxAITrader(quote_asset=Asset("EUR", asset_type=Asset.AssetType.CRYPTO)) strategy.run_live() The agent needs a model key such as ``OPENAI_API_KEY`` in your environment. See the :doc:`AI agents quickstart ` for models, tools and memory. What you can trade on MyOKX(EEA) through CCXT --------------------------------------------- .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 :widths: 40 60 * - Market - Listed by CCXT * - Spot - Yes * - Margin - Not listed by CCXT * - Perpetual swaps - No * - Dated futures - No * - Options - No CCXT lists these order features for MyOKX(EEA): market orders, limit orders, stop orders, stop-loss orders, take-profit orders, reduce-only orders, editing open orders, canceling orders. MyOKX(EEA) tips --------------- * MyOKX keys need three values: the API key, the secret key and the passphrase. Set ``MYOKX_API_KEY``, ``MYOKX_API_SECRET`` and ``MYOKX_API_PASSPHRASE``. * Bind an IP address to the key. OKX says keys with trade or withdraw permission and no bound IP expire after 14 days of inactivity (demo keys are not deleted). * Use the ``myokx`` id for accounts on my.okx.com. The ``okx`` id talks to the main okx.com API host instead, so a my.okx.com key belongs with ``myokx``. * Spot symbols look like ``BTC/EUR``. MyOKX also lists ``BTC/USDC`` and ``BTC/USDT``. Frequently asked questions -------------------------- **Can I build a MyOKX(EEA) trading bot in Python?** Yes. Install LumiBot (``pip install lumibot``), set your MyOKX(EEA) keys and use the ``myokx`` CCXT exchange id as shown above. **Does MyOKX(EEA) have a testnet?** Yes. Set ``MYOKX_SANDBOX=true`` and use keys from the MyOKX(EEA) testnet. **Which API permissions does a MyOKX(EEA) bot need?** Turn on Read (view balances and order history) and Trade (place and cancel orders). Leave Withdraw off. A bot never needs to move money out of your account. **Can an AI agent trade on MyOKX(EEA) by itself?** Yes. The agentic example above gives one agent permission to trade. You control what it may trade and how much through its prompt. **Can I trade MyOKX(EEA) perpetual futures with LumiBot?** CCXT does not list perpetual swaps for MyOKX(EEA), so use spot markets. **Is LumiBot free?** Yes. LumiBot is open source on GitHub at https://github.com/Lumiwealth/lumibot. You pay only your exchange's trading fees and, for AI agents, your model provider.
