Resource Manifest — AI Quantitative Trading Competition

Everything a participant receives or needs to access for the competition.

---

1. Competition Account

Each participant receives a dedicated simulation account on the competition simulation environment. Log in at https://uat.liquiditytech.com/ and generate your API credentials under Profile → API Management → Generate.

API Key permissions:

Note: Transfer and Withdraw permissions are not available in Track A.

Treat your credentials as production secrets — never commit, log, or share them.

---

2. Service Endpoints

See 03-advanced-api.md for authentication, signature algorithm, and full endpoint reference.

Market Data WebSocket Rate Limits

Authenticate with your competition API Key to reach the higher limits.

News Feed WebSocket Connection Limits

Reconnection note: subscription state is not preserved on the server. After a reconnect, you must re-send the subscribe message for all channels.

---

3. npm Packages

See 01-quickstart.md §Step 1 for install and registry troubleshooting.

Run rapidx --version after install to confirm the version.

If npm maps @liquiditytech to a custom registry, point it to the official registry first:

npm config set @liquiditytech:registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
npm install -g @liquiditytech/rapidx-cli@latest

---

4. Skills

See 01-quickstart.md §Step 3 Path A for per-agent-host install commands (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes).

---

5. CLI & MCP Tool Catalogue

See 02-cli-mcp-reference.md for full input/output specs, the preview-then-submit pattern, and automation mode.

All CLI commands use the format rapidx <domain> <action> --input '<json>' --json.
All MCP tools use the rapidx/ prefix.

6. Symbol Universe

Track A — Tradable Pairs Whitelist (Phase I)

Glossary: PERP = perpetual futures (a derivative that tracks an asset price with no expiry). USDT-margined = margin and PnL are settled in USDT (not the underlying asset).

• 50 pairs, USDT-margined Binance perpetuals, format: BINANCE_PERP_{BASE}_USDT
• Fixed for the competition period; not dynamically adjusted by market cap
• Selection criteria: Binance USDT perp ✓ | System whitelist ✓ | Listed ≥ 6 months (CoinGecko) ✓

Check symbol rules before trading: minimum notional, lot size, tick size, and contract size vary by symbol. Run rapidx market get-symbol-info --input '{"symbol":"..."}' --json before sizing any order.

8. Verification

Use the built-in CLI self-check — no extra dependencies required:

rapidx auth check
rapidx self-check --read-only --json

Each check reports PASS / EXPECTED_ERROR / FAIL / NOT_VERIFIED.

For an end-to-end live trade test (submits a real post-only order then cancels):

rapidx trade verify-live --input '{
  "symbol": "BINANCE_PERP_BTC_USDT",
  "side": "BUY",
  "maxNotional": "10",
  "clientOrderId": "verify-live-001",
  "explicitUserConsent": true,
  "acceptedRiskText": "I authorize a real verification order for BINANCE_PERP_BTC_USDT BUY maxNotional 10 with cancel cleanup."
}' --json

11. Safety & Compliance Reminders

1. No real assets at risk (Phase I) — Phase I runs on the competition simulation environment with virtual capital.
2. Elimination threshold — Elimination is triggered when Equity < 800 USDT or NAV < 0.8.
3. Agent uptime ≥ 90% — uptime below 90% results in disqualification; 90–95% incurs graduated score penalties.
4. Preview before every write — all writes require preview; the preview never submits a real order.
5. LTP_API_HOST is required — missing host returns RCORE01003.
6. State confirmation after every write — call rapidx order query or rapidx position query. No blind retries.
7. Secrets never leak — keys are masked in all CLI/MCP output, logs, and reports.

AI API Usage

Query AI Usage

GET https://ai.ltp-contest.com/key/info
Authorization: Bearer <your-ai-api-key>

Returns the cumulative USD spend for the current AI API Key.

Daily Limit

Daily limit: $10 USD per team. Monitor your usage regularly to avoid hitting the cap mid-strategy.

Best Practice

After validating your strategy logic, run your MCP-based agent as a background scheduled script rather than interactively. This avoids redundant token usage from repeated manual invocations.

# Check AI usage before running agent
curl -s https://ai.ltp-contest.com/key/info \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-ai-api-key>"
