Can an AI trade for me?
Yes, an AI can place orders if you give it access to a trading account. That access does not make its decisions profitable or limit how much it can spend.

How Officer handles it
Pit Officer is free and open source and runs on your computer. Your AI connects over MCP with an agent token; you set order limits and can block the account to stop new orders.
Example of a refused order
With a quantity cap of 10, an order for 11 shares is rejected. The account can keep trading within its limits.
What Officer does not do
Officer does not choose good trades or guarantee a final loss. Blocking does not cancel orders already at the broker.
Limits apply only to orders routed through Officer. An agent with its own broker keys can trade outside Officer.
