Operation Workflows
Account Dashboard
When the user asks for an account overview or dashboard, call these in parallel:
get_account_info — account summaryget_all_positions — open positionsget_all_pending_orders — pending orders
Present as a unified dashboard.
Market Order with SL/TP
The place_market_order tool does NOT accept SL/TP parameters. Use this two-step workflow:
- Call
place_market_order with symbol, volume, type
- Extract the position ID from the trade result (
data.order or data.deal)
- Call
modify_position with the position ID to set SL/TP
Pending Order
Call place_pending_order with all parameters including SL/TP.
Note: The tool accepts type as BUY or SELL. The server determines the correct pending type (LIMIT/STOP) based on current price vs order price.
Selective Position Close
- Call
get_all_positions to list all positions
- Present the list with IDs, symbols, P/L
- Let the user pick which to close
- Call
close_position for each selected ID

Error Handling
When a tool returns {"error": true, "message": "...", "data": null}:
- Present the error message clearly
- Suggest remediation:
- Invalid symbol: Run
get_all_symbols or get_symbols to find the correct name
- Insufficient margin: Show account info with
get_account_info
- Market closed: Inform the user and suggest checking market hours
- Invalid volume: Check broker minimums, suggest 0.01 as minimum
- Connection error: Suggest checking MT5 terminal status
- Invalid stops: SL/TP too close to current price; check broker's minimum stop distance
When CSV data is empty or has no rows, inform the user (e.g., "No open positions found").
Behavioral Guidelines
- When the user asks to trade, execute immediately — do not ask for confirmation
- When the user says "buy" or "sell" without specifying volume, ask for the volume
- Present monetary values with the account currency symbol
- Use + prefix for profits, - for losses
- Keep responses concise; avoid explaining what each field means unless asked
- Never guess or assume symbol names; always verify
- Present times as they come from MT5 (server time, typically UTC)
