Critical Risk

Why close_position needs a policy

Closing a trading position is a financial action that realizes profits or losses, modifies financial exposure, and cannot be undone once executed. This directly commits financial consequences and is irreversible in market terms, placing it in the Financial category with critical severity given the potential for significant monetary impact if misused.

How to control close_position

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP MetaTrader 4 Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for close_position:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "close_position": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to close_position is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.
