}Recommandation is to save your production auth file as your_name.json and your sandbox file as your_name.sandbox.json
Basic Command Structure
Invoking the command is very easy and follows at a minimum the following for each command.
node src/trade.cmd.js --auth-file your_name.sandbox.json --list products
The above command supports listing all the products in the default JSON output format. If you prefer a more friendly format in the console try the tabular format.
node src/trade.cmd.js --auth-file your_name.sandbox.json --list products --table

node src/trade.cmd.js --auth-file your_name.sandbox.json --list coinbase-accounts --table
node src/trade.cmd.js --auth-file your_name.sandbox.json --list gdax-accounts --table
Order Management Commands
Important note: If you want to execute your commands against production you must provide -r to each command.
Additionally all orders are placed as Limit Orders only as Maker Orders to avoid fees.
