-`order-send` requires `--yes` before placing live trades.
+`order-send` is the expert raw-request path; it requires `--yes` and a fully
+constructed request payload. `close-positions` is the safer high-level helper
+that closes open positions by `--symbol` or `--ticket` using
+`close_open_positions()`. Both `order-send --yes` and `close-positions --yes`
+are live execution paths. `close-positions --dry-run` previews close orders
+without placing them and does not require `--yes`.
