Security, in plain English.

The question everyone asks first: can you take my money? No. Here's exactly why not.
What MTOPS can do with your account
- Read market data and your open positions.
- Place, modify, and close trades — every one with a stop-loss attached.
- Write a log entry for every decision it makes, so you can audit all of it.
What MTOPS can never do
- Withdraw funds. The MT5 connection has no withdrawal capability — not restricted, not policy-limited: the permission does not exist on the API key you grant. Money only leaves your broker account when you instruct your broker.
- Change your broker account details, banking details, or password.
- See or store your broker login password — you connect via an API key, not your credentials.
The key is yours to kill
You create the API key at your broker, you grant it, and you can revoke it at any moment from your side — no permission needed from us, no notice period. Revoke the key and MTOPS is locked out instantly.
Stop-loss on every trade
Every order the system places carries a stop-loss from the moment it opens. No naked positions, no "we'll add it later." Risk limits are enforced in the pipeline before an order is ever sent — and in dry-run mode (the default) no order is sent at all.
Your data
We store the minimum needed to run the service: your account's trade and decision logs (so you can audit the system) and your contact email. We don't sell data, we don't share it with third parties beyond the infrastructure that hosts it, and you can request deletion any time — see the Privacy Policy.
