add_price_alert
Set a price alert for a ticker. You'll be notified when the price condition is met.
LABSCO SUMMARY
Null meaning 'leave unchanged' on the stop-loss tool is a small semantic that prevents a real accident.
Setting a take-profit and accidentally clearing an existing stop-loss is the kind of mistake that only shows up when the position moves against you. Defining null as no-change rather than as clear removes it. Beyond that, be clear about what this surface is: place_order transacts on a live account, and raw_api_call reaches commands nobody wrapped or reviewed. Between them, an agent holding these credentials can do anything the account can. That is a decision about supervision rather than a criticism of the tool, but it should be a deliberate one.
What it is
A brokerage client covering account and portfolio reads, order placement and management, market data, and price alerts, with a raw call for anything the tools do not wrap.
What you get
- get_user_data and get_portfolio return account info, funds, positions and the portfolio summary.
- place_order covers buy, sell, short and margin and returns an order id, with cancel_order to withdraw an active one.
- set_stop_loss_take_profit sets either or both, and passing null leaves one unchanged rather than clearing it.
- Market data: search_tickers with a market filter, get_security_info for a ticker's detail, and get_quotes_history returning OHLCV candles.
- Price alerts added and deleted, so a condition can be watched rather than polled.
- get_security_sessions lists open sessions for two-factor authentication.
- raw_api_call reaches any Tradernet command the dedicated tools do not cover.
Requirements
TRADERNET_PUBLIC_KEY and TRADERNET_PRIVATE_KEY. place_order executes against a real brokerage account with real money.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — claude mcp add tradernet -- npx -y tradernet-mcp, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Seeing where the account stands
Read the account info, funds and open positions rather than logging into the platform.
02
Researching before acting
Search for the ticker, read its detail, and pull historical candles for the window you care about.
03
Placing and managing an order
Place the order and get its id back, cancel it while it is active, and set stop-loss or take-profit with null leaving the other unchanged.
04
Watching for a price rather than polling
Set the alert on the condition and remove it when it no longer applies.
05
Reaching something the tools do not cover
Make the raw API call to any Tradernet command — powerful and unwrapped, so worth being deliberate about.
12 tools
