Execute a trade action in replay mode (buy, sell, or close position)

How to control replay_trade ↓

AI agents invoke replay_trade to trigger actions in TradingView MCP Bridge. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

This tool executes trade actions whose real-world effects depend on arguments. While 'replay mode' suggests it may be simulated rather than live trading, the core capability is Execute—it triggers external operations with side effects. It does not merely read data (Read), nor is it a simple reversible modification (Write), nor does it permanently delete data (Destructive).

From the tool's definition The tool description states it "Execute[s] a trade action" which involves running a command that triggers external operations (buy, sell, or close position). The effects depend directly on the arguments passed (which action and position details).

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access replay_trade gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "replay_trade": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "replay_trade_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

replay_trade stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
