orderly is the trading CLI for Orderly Network. It ships as a single static binary, so there is no Node.js runtime, package manager, or dependency tree to install. Source: OrderlyNetwork/cli.
Not the devkit CLI. orderly is not orderly-devkit. The devkit CLI (@orderly.network/devkit) only scaffolds and publishes Builders Marketplace plugins — see CLI reference (orderly-devkit). This page is about the trading client.

​
What it is

A terminal trading client for Orderly Network. One static binary covers market data, order management, account operations, and streaming, against both testnet and mainnet.

​
Security model

Wallet and API keys live in the OS keychain. They are never written to files, and signing happens inside the binary. Command output contains results only, so you can give an agent access to the CLI without exposing keys.

​
Output

JSON by default; add --csv for list data. Run orderly --help for the full command surface.

​
Machine-readable command surface

orderly schema --json prints the entire command tree as JSON: every command, its arguments and flags, which are required, defaults, and whether the command mutates server state. Use it instead of parsing --help. Mutating commands also accept --dry-run, which prints the exact request that would be signed and sent, then exits without touching the keychain or the network:
Exit codes are stable: 0 success, 1 unexpected, 2 usage/validation, 3 auth, 4 trading rejection, 5 transient (rate limit or upstream error).

​
What it can do

  • Market data — markets, prices, and orderbook snapshots.
  • Orders — place, cancel, edit, and batch operations.
  • Algo orders — take-profit/stop-loss, trailing, and bracket orders.
  • Positions — list positions and close them.
  • Account — leverage, balances, deposits, and withdrawals.
  • Streaming — WebSocket subscriptions from the terminal.
  • Chains — EVM chains including Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism, plus Solana.

​
Why it is agent-friendly

  • Keychain isolation — keys stay in the OS keychain and never appear in files or output.
  • JSON output — results are machine-readable by default, with --csv for list data.
  • No Node dependency — a single static binary, so nothing else needs to be installed.
  • Stable release URLs — unversioned asset names make releases/latest/download safe to pin in scripts.
