Is MQL5 Signals safe to connect to an AI agent?

What an AI agent can do

• Live vs paper: live only: copyable signals must come from real-money accounts (demo, contest and cent account signals are not allowed) source
• Order approval: copy MetaTrader signal providers inside MT4/MT5; subscriber sets the deposit share used, can copy SL/TP, and can set an equity floor that stops copying and closes positions source
• Markets: forex, CFDs (MetaTrader 4/5)
• Pricing: provider sets a monthly subscription fee for signals on real accounts (free signals also exist); MQL5 keeps 20%

Safeguards that exist

• Order approval or confirmation options: Only limits or read-only modes, no per-order approval source
• Withdrawal permission needed or allowed: Copying runs in the subscriber's own terminal; providers get no access to subscriber accounts or balances (official docs) source
• Scoped keys, permission scopes or IP whitelisting: Providers share an investor password, which gives read-only access and cannot place trades (official docs) source

Safeguards that are missing

• Can it place live orders unattended?: Can place live orders with no documented approval step source
• Paper, demo or testnet mode: Signals can't be copied on demo accounts since MT5 build 4230 (official docs) source
• Open source or audited: No public source code in our listing source
