Autonomous Market Analysis

Cascade uses `v4_get_orderbook` and `v4_get_stats` to feed real-time market depth directly into your coding context. It identifies liquidity shifts before you even open a terminal window. This MCP Server allows Windsurf to compare current price action against historical OHLCV data from `v4_get_candles`. You get the raw numbers you need to build your trading logic.

Direct Execution from Windsurf

Your agent triggers `v4_create_order` to place trades based on your predefined conditions. It handles the API handshake so you focus on the strategy. Once the order is live, use `v4_list_orders` to check status or `v4_cancel_order` if the market moves against you. Everything happens inside your workspace.

Account Management

Manage your risk by calling `v4_list_positions` to monitor your exposure across all assets. It connects your account state to your agent's decision loop. Use `v4_get_account` to pull current balances and equity. This MCP Server ensures Windsurf always knows your available collateral before executing a new trade.
