ApeX Trading Skill

Full trading and portfolio management for ApeX perpetual futures exchange.

Prerequisites

Install dependencies once:

cd skills/apex/scripts && npm install

Authentication

Private operations require API credentials and an Omni seed:

```
APEX_API_KEY
```
```
APEX_API_SECRET
```
```
APEX_API_PASSPHRASE
```
```
APEX_OMNI_SEED
```

Important:

APEX_OMNI_SEED

is required by the SDK for order-related operations. Treat it like a private key/seed phrase and keep it strictly local. Do not share it or commit it.

Testnet:

Set
```
APEX_TESTNET=1
```
(or
```
APEX_ENV=qa
```
