WHAT IT DOES

What sell_stop does on MCP Trader Server

RISK

Why sell_stop is rated Critical

A sell_stop is a standard order type in financial trading that places a sell order below the current market price, triggering automatically when the price falls to that level. Given the server's explicit purpose of trading operations through MetaTrader 5 and the sibling tools being trading order types, this tool almost certainly executes a financial trade order.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'sell_stop' on a server that 'Supports real-time market data, automated trade execution, portfolio management'; sibling tools include buy_limit, buy_market, buy_stop, close_position — all trading order types.
