There is no official xAI “Grok trading bot” that auto-trades on WEEX.

What actually works is simpler:

Grok bot helps you design the strategy and write the code
Your bot enforces rules, risk, and logs
WEEX API / CCXT executes the orders

You approve the risk. The bot executes the rules.

Hard truth first

This can lose money. Fast.

This is not financial advice. It is not a profit promise. API keys are money access — treat them like a seed phrase. If you are not ready to lose the size you fund, stop here.

1. Create the API key the boring (correct) way

In WEEX:

Account → API Management → Create API Key

You will get three values:

API Key
Secret Key
Passphrase

New keys default to Read Only. Keep them that way until a dry-run works.

When you are ready, enable Spot or Futures intentionally — not both “just in case,” and never withdrawal / transfer on a bot key.

2. Endpoints and headers

Spot REST: https://api-spot.weex.com
Futures REST: https://api-contract.weex.com

Private calls use:

ACCESS-KEY · ACCESS-SIGN · ACCESS-TIMESTAMP · ACCESS-PASSPHRASE

If you are new to exchange signing, prefer CCXT. Do not hand-roll auth on day one.

3. Security non-negotiables

Read-only first
IP whitelist on
Keys in environment variables only
Never commit keys to Git
Never paste keys into chat
Separate research keys from production keys
Tiny size until you trust the loop

4. Prompt Grok correctly

Bad: “Make me a profitable WEEX bot that prints money.”

Good: “Write a Python CCXT bot for WEEX spot. Use env vars for key, secret, and passphrase. Start with read balance + ticker only. Use an SMA crossover signal. Cap risk at 1% of equity per trade. Add a daily −3% kill switch. Log every decision. Do not include withdrawal or transfer code.”

Grok is a coding assistant. It is not a managed trading product.

5. Keep the bot loop dumb

Pull data
Compute signal
Run risk checks
Place or skip the order
Log
Sleep or stay on WebSocket

Then repeat.

Fancy is not safer. Clear rules beat vibes.

Risk checks before every order:

Max position size
Max open orders
Daily loss kill switch
No trade on API errors or stale data
Spot first; futures only when you understand liquidation

Kill switch means the bot stops. You do not “hope.”

6. Minimal Python CCXT start

import os, time, ccxt

ex = ccxt.weex({ "apiKey": os.environ["WEEX_API_KEY"], "secret": os.environ["WEEX_SECRET"], "password": os.environ["WEEX_PASSPHRASE"], "enableRateLimit": True, })
