What draw_position does on TradingView MCP

AI agents use draw_position to create or update resources in TradingView MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your TradingView MCP environment.

Why draw_position needs a policy

This tool creates and modifies chart annotations/drawings (position tools) reversibly. While it doesn't execute trades or move money, it does create persistent chart objects that represent trading setups. The action is reversible (drawings can be deleted), making it Write rather than Execute or Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool creates a position visualization drawing on a chart with entry, stop-loss, and take-profit parameters at the current bar.

Questions about draw_position

What does the draw_position tool do? +

Draw a Risk/Reward LONG or SHORT position tool natively at the current bar, with entry, stop-loss and take-profit set to exact prices IN ONE CALL. This is the ONLY correct way to visualize a proposed trade — do NOT use horizontal_line or rectangle for trade setups. Direction is auto-detected from prices (long: sl < entry < tp, short: sl > entry > tp). Symbol tick size is read automatically from symbolInfo.pricescale/minmov so this works for crypto (BTC tick 0.01), futures (MNQ/MES tick 0.25), forex, and stocks. REJECTS setups with R:R < 2 by default (pass min_rr to override, not recommended). It is categorised as a Write tool in the TradingView MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on draw_position? +

Register the TradingView MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for draw_position: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches TradingView MCP. Nothing to install.
