What simulate_trade does on TradeX MCP Server

AI agents call simulate_trade to retrieve information from TradeX MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why simulate_trade needs a policy

The tool only simulates a trade and returns projected financial metrics (margin requirements, fees, liquidation price, break-even, PnL scenarios). It does not execute any actual transaction, move funds, or modify state. This is purely a read/query operation that models hypothetical outcomes.
