# monitor.stop

Stop the background wallet monitoring loop started by monitor.start. Call this to end a copy-trading session, before changing bot configuration via config.set or config.safety_limits, or when switching between preview and live modes via config.go_live. Does NOT close open positions — use positions.close or positions.set_exit_rules separately to unwind trades. Idempotent: safe to call when the monitor is not running. Returns a short confirmation string. No parameters.
