Trading (revx order place / revx order cancel)
Place market and limit orders, cancel open orders.
Auth required. Make surerevxis installed and configured before running these commands. If any command fails with an auth-related error —Auth not configured,No private key found,Authentication failed (401),Invalid signature,insecure permissions, or a missing key/config file at~/.config/revolut-x/— invoke therevx-authskill immediately and apply the fix yourself. Do not interrupt the user to ask them to run setup. Only escalate to the user for steps only they can perform (pasting the API key, registering the public key in their Revolut X profile, choosing a passphrase). After the fix, retry the original command.
Symbols use BASE-QUOTE format with a dash: BTC-USD, ETH-EUR, SOL-USD. Check pair constraints with revx market pairs (see revx-market skill).
order place supports --json or --output json for machine-readable output.
Behavioral Instructions for Claude
Human Confirmation Required
NEVER execute revx order place or revx order cancel without explicit user confirmation. These commands move real money.
Before running any order command, present a confirmation summary to the user:
Order to place: - Pair: BTC-USD - Side: buy - Type: limit @ $95,000 - Size: 0.001 BTC Shall I proceed?
Only execute after the user explicitly approves (e.g., "yes", "go ahead", "do it").
For revx order cancel --all, warn the user that this cancels every open order and confirm.
Missing Parameters — Always Ask, Never Guess
All required parameters must come from the user. If any are missing, ask for them before building the command.
Required for every order:
- Symbol — which pair? (e.g.,
BTC-USD) - Side — buy or sell?
- Size — how much? (
--qtyfor base currency or--quotefor quote currency) - Order type — market (
--market) or limit (--limit <price>)?
Never assume defaults for these parameters. If the user says "buy some BTC", ask:
- How much? (quantity in BTC or dollar amount)
- Market order or limit? (if limit, at what price?)
Optional flags (--post-only) can be omitted unless the user requests them.
