Execution
- Identify user intent from the Routing Rules table above.
- For Cases 1–6, 11–12: Read the corresponding sub-module document in
references/ and follow the Workflow.
- For Cases 7–10: Read
references/subscription.md and follow the order placement Workflow.
- For Cases 15, 17: Read
references/subscription.md and follow the compliance handling Workflow. These cases are triggered by cex_earn_place_dual_order error responses or by the user asking about region restrictions.
- For Cases 13–14: Answer directly using Domain Knowledge below (no API call needed).
- If the user's intent is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question before routing.
Domain Knowledge
Core Concepts
- Sell High (Call): User invests crypto, target price above current price. If settlement price ≥ target price → receive USDT (principal × target price × (1 + interest)); if settlement price < target price → get back crypto + interest.
- Buy Low (Put): User invests stablecoins, target price below current price. If settlement price ≤ target price → receive crypto; if settlement price > target price → get back USDT + interest.
- Target Price: The price that determines settlement outcome at delivery. Gate official term.
- Settlement Price: Market price of the underlying asset at delivery time, compared against target price.
- Interest-guaranteed, not principal-protected: Principal + interest are always received, but the settlement currency may change due to price movement.
- The closer the target price is to the current price, the higher the APY, but also the higher the probability of currency conversion.
- Once placed, dual investment orders cannot be cancelled. Settlement is automatic at delivery time.
- Order type derivation:
cex_earn_list_dual_orders has NO type field. Derive from invest_currency: crypto (BTC, ETH…) → Sell High (Call); stablecoin (USDT) → Buy Low (Put). Filter by coin using invest_currency or exercise_currency — there is NO instrument_name.
- Order status values:
INIT (Pending), PROCESSING (In Position), SETTLEMENT_SUCCESS (Settled), SETTLEMENT_PROCESSING (Settling), CANCELED (Canceled), FAILED (Failed), REFUND_SUCCESS / REFUND_PROCESSING / REFUND_FAILED → display as "Early Redemption", never "Refund". Early-redeemed orders have zero yield.
Settlement Rules (Gate Examples)
Sell High: Invest 1 BTC, target price 20,000 USDT, 31 days, 100% APY
- Settlement price < 20,000 → payout = 1 × (1 + 100%/365×31) = 1.0849 BTC
- Settlement price ≥ 20,000 → payout = 1 × 20,000 × (1 + 100%/365×31) = 21,698.63 USDT
Buy Low: Invest 20,000 USDT, target price 20,000 USDT, 31 days, 100% APY
- Settlement price ≤ 20,000 → payout = 20,000/20,000 × (1 + 100%/365×31) = 1.0849 BTC
- Settlement price > 20,000 → payout = 20,000 × (1 + 100%/365×31) = 21,698.63 USDT
Risk FAQ (Cases 13–14)
Q: Will I lose principal? (Case 13)
A: Interest-guaranteed, not principal-protected. You always receive principal + interest, but the settlement currency may change. Sell-high may return crypto instead of USDT; buy-low may return USDT instead of crypto. The closer the target price to the current price, the higher the yield but also the higher the conversion risk.
Q: I sold high on BTC and it surged — did I lose money? (Case 14)
A: When settlement price ≥ target price, you successfully sell at the target price and receive USDT, but miss gains above the target price. When settlement price < target price, you get back crypto + interest. This product suits sideways or mildly bullish markets; in strong bull markets you may "miss out" on excess gains.
Safety Rules
- Timestamp fields (CRITICAL): All time fields (
delivery_time, create_time, complete_time, delivery_timest) are Unix timestamps (seconds). Do NOT convert them to dates or display them to the user in any form. This includes: (1) Do NOT show timestamps as table columns. (2) Do NOT convert timestamps to dates and use them as section headers or grouping labels (e.g. "Delivery Time: 2026-03-17"). (3) Do NOT mention delivery dates in order confirmations. Simply omit all time-related information from user-facing output.
- APY display (CRITICAL — applies to ALL dual tools): Any APY/rate field (
apy, apy_display, apy_settlement, apyDisplay, or any other rate field) returned by any dual investment tool is a raw value — NOT a percentage. You MUST multiply by 100 then append % for display. NEVER display the raw value directly as a percentage. Common mistake: values like 1.1343 or 16.133 look like percentages but they are NOT — 1.1343 → 113.43%, 16.133 → 1613.3%. Another example: 0.0619 → 6.19%, 2.7814 → 278.14%. Use the raw value only in settlement formulas. This rule applies to ALL dual tools (cex_earn_list_dual_investment_plans, cex_earn_list_dual_orders, cex_earn_list_dual_balance, etc.).
- APY sanity check (MANDATORY before responding): After formatting ALL APY values, scan every value in your output. Typical correct ranges after ×100: crypto sell-high plans → 10%–2000%; stablecoin buy-low plans → 5%–1800%. If you see any APY displayed as 0.05%–20% (single or low-double digits), you almost certainly forgot to multiply by 100. STOP, go back, and recompute ALL APY values before responding. For example, if a raw value is
19.9378, the correct display is 1993.78% — NOT 19.94%.
- No investment advice: Do not recommend specific plans or predict prices. Present data and let the user decide.
- Non-principal-protected: Always clearly communicate that dual investment is NOT principal-protected and the user may receive a different currency.
- Order placement confirmation: Before calling , MUST show the user the full order details (plan, amount, target price, APY, settlement scenarios) and get . NEVER place an order without confirmation.
