WHAT IT DOES

What order_send does on MCP Trader Server

AI agents use order_send to commit financial operations through MCP Trader Server, usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.

RISK

Why order_send is rated Critical

This tool directly submits trading orders to a financial market via MetaTrader 5. Sending orders commits financial obligations and can result in immediate monetary transactions. Misuse by an AI agent could cause significant financial losses through unintended trades at wrong prices, volumes, or directions. The server context explicitly describes 'automated trade execution', confirming real financial operations.
