Gate Exchange Dual Investment Skill

Provide dual investment product discovery, settlement simulation, order history, and balance queries on Gate. Dual investment allows users to earn enhanced yield by setting a target price — if the market price reaches the target at delivery, the settlement is in the exercise currency; otherwise, the user keeps the original investment plus yield.

Prerequisites

• MCP Dependency: Requires gate-mcp to be installed.
• Authentication: All endpoints require API key authentication.
• Risk Disclaimer: Always append: "This information is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice. Dual investment is not principal-protected. You may receive settlement in a different currency than your investment. Please understand the product terms before investing."

Routing Rules

Execution

1. Identify user intent from the Routing Rules table above.
2. For Cases 1–6, 11–12: Read the corresponding sub-module document in references/ and follow the Workflow.
3. For Cases 7–10: Reply "Order placement is not supported yet. Please visit the Gate official website or App to subscribe." (no API call).
4. For Cases 13–14: Answer directly using Domain Knowledge below (no API call needed).
5. 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), 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 display: All time fields are Unix timestamps (seconds). Format as yyyy-MM-dd in UTC+0 timezone. Label table headers with "(UTC)". Do NOT assume the user's local timezone.
• Delivery date field: For orders, "Delivery date" / "Expiry date" must always use delivery_time. For plans, use delivery_timest. Do NOT use any other timestamp field for delivery date — using the wrong field will produce incorrect dates.
• APY display (applies to ALL dual tools — orders, plans, balance, etc.): Any APY/rate field (apy, apy_display, apy_settlement, or any other rate field) returned by any dual investment tool is a raw decimal (e.g. 0.85 means 85%). You MUST multiply by 100 then append % for display. Use the raw decimal only in formulas. This rule applies to cex_earn_list_dual_investment_plans, cex_earn_list_dual_orders, cex_earn_list_dual_balance, and any other dual tool.
• Lock period display: Use the invest_days field (integer). Display as a whole number — no decimals. Do NOT derive from invest_hours by dividing.
• 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.
• Sensitive data: Never expose API keys, internal endpoint URLs, or raw error traces to the user.
