Marty Bot: System Specifications

The Marty Bot operates on a Mean Reversion principle. It identifies when price has deviated statistically significantly from its average (VWAP, EMA, or proprietary baseline) and executes counter-trend entries anticipating a return to the mean.

Key Logic Gates:

• Oversold/Overbought Detection: Uses RSI and Bollinger Band deviations to trigger potential setups.
• Trend Filter: Optional higher-timeframe trend filter to prevent trading against strong momentum (e.g., only shorting if 1H trend is down).
• Volatility Adjustment: Dynamic stop-loss sizing based on ATR (Average True Range).

Built specifically for Prop Firm Compliance (Apex, Topstep, etc.), the bot includes hard-coded safety switches:

• Daily Loss Limit: Bot auto-disables if daily P&L hits a user-defined threshold (e.g., -$500).
• Max Position Sizing: Prevents "fat finger" errors by capping max contracts.
• Time Windowing: Only trades during high-volume sessions (e.g., 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM EST) to avoid chop.
