description	React component patterns for GDEX trading UIs — order entry forms, position tables, copy trade panels, orderbook displays, and PnL views

GDEX: Trading UI Components

React component patterns for building trading interfaces with the GDEX SDK. Each component shows the props interface, SDK method it calls, and state management pattern.

When to Use

• Building a spot or perp trading form
• Displaying open positions or orders
• Creating a copy trade management panel
• Showing PnL or orderbook data

Prerequisites

• GDEX SDK context provider set up — see gdex-ui-install-setup
• Authenticated via loginWithApiKey() — see gdex-authentication

Spot Trade Form

// components/SpotTradeForm.tsx
'use client';

import { useState } from 'react';
import { useGdex } from '@/providers/GdexProvider';

interface SpotTradeFormProps {
  defaultChain?: string;
  onTradeComplete?: (result: any) => void;
}

export function SpotTradeForm({ defaultChain = 'solana', onTradeComplete }: SpotTradeFormProps) {
  const { skill, isReady } = useGdex();
  const [mode, setMode] = useState<'buy' | 'sell'>('buy');
  const [chain, setChain] = useState(defaultChain);
  const [tokenAddress, setTokenAddress] = useState('');
  const [amount, setAmount] = useState('');
  const [slippage, setSlippage] = useState(1);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
  const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null);

  const handleSubmit = async (e: React.FormEvent) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    if (!isReady) return;
    setLoading(true);
    setError(null);
    try {
      const fn = mode === 'buy' ? skill.buyToken : skill.sellToken;
      const result = await fn.call(skill, { chain, tokenAddress, amount, slippage });
      onTradeComplete?.(result);
    } catch (err) {
      setError(err instanceof Error ? err.message : 'Trade failed');
    } finally {

Component → SDK Method Reference

Component	SDK Method	Skill
SpotTradeForm	buyToken(), sellToken()	gdex-spot-trading
PerpOrderForm	openPerpPosition()	gdex-perp-trading
PositionTable	hlGetPositions(), closePerpPosition()	gdex-perp-trading
CopyTradePanel	getCopyTrades(), getTopTraders()	gdex-copy-trading
PnLDisplay	(display only)	—
TokenSearch	getTokenDetails()	gdex-token-discovery

Backend Quirks Affecting UI (Live-Tested)

1. Spot trading amounts in managed custody are RAW UNITS (lamports/wei), not human-readable. The SpotTradeForm above uses skill.buyToken() which handles conversion, but if using submitManagedPurchase() directly, convert first.
2. hlCloseAll is unreliable — the PositionTable close button should use reduce-only orders, not skill.hlCloseAll(). See gdex-perp-trading for the workaround.
3. Solana Meteora tokens fail — if building a token selector, filter out dexId === 'meteora' tokens to avoid failed trades.
4. Leverage slider is informational only — hlUpdateLeverage returns 404. Effective leverage is determined by position size vs account equity.
5. getTopTraders() needs numeric chainId — use 622112261, not 'solana'.
