Connect your dYdX account once. After that, your AI handles the heavy lifting of checking your balances and active trades.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI track my dYdX account status?

Yes. Your AI pulls your current balances, lists every open position, and calculates your total equity. You get a real-time snapshot of your trading activity through a simple chat interface.

The outcomes

What you get from your AI

The AI turns raw API data into clear answers about your portfolio.

LIVE DATA

Real-time balance checks

The AI pulls your current available funds and collateral. You'll always know exactly how much buying power you have left.

POSITION TRACKING

Monitor open trades

Your agent lists every active position you're holding. It identifies your size, entry prices, and current status across the network.

EQUITY ANALYSIS

Calculate total equity

The AI aggregates your account data to show your total equity. This helps you see your actual net worth in the protocol.

HUMAN ACTION

Manual trade execution

The AI only reads your data. You still need to go to the dYdX interface to actually place or close trades.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for an update.

The AI follows a specific sequence to fetch your data from the dYdX networks.

  1. Fetch account details

    The AI starts by pulling your specific account information to establish your current financial standing.

  2. List active trades

    It then scans for any open positions you are currently running on the exchange.

  3. Summarize equity

    The AI combines your balance and position data to give you a single equity number.

  4. Report findings

    Your agent presents the data in plain English so you don't have to parse raw JSON.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can my AI place trades for me?

    No. This connector is read-only. It can check your positions and balances, but it cannot execute trades or change your orders.

  • 02

    Does the AI see my private keys?

    No. The connection is handled through the API. Your private keys are never shared with the AI or Vinkius.

  • 03

    Can it check my history?

    No. The current tools only allow the AI to see your current account state and active positions.

  • 04

    Which networks does it work on?

    It works on both v3 and v4 dYdX networks depending on which account you ask about.

  • 05

    Is the data real-time?

    Yes. The AI pulls fresh data from the dYdX API every time you ask a question.
