📈 How Marty Bot Works
A systematic approach to trend-following using moving average structure

📊 Moving Average Foundation

Marty Bot uses a user-defined moving average as the foundation for all trading decisions. This moving average acts as a dynamic support/resistance level that defines market structure and trend direction.

The Logic: Price above the moving average signals bullish structure → bot trades long. Price below the moving average signals bearish structure → bot trades short.

🎯 Entry & Exit Rules

The bot doesn't just blindly buy above or sell below the MA — it uses specific entry criteria to ensure trades align with momentum and structure. Exits are equally systematic, following predefined rules for profit targets, stop losses, and structure breaks.

⚙️ Fully Customizable Parameters

You control the moving average period, entry logic, position sizing, profit targets, and stop losses. This flexibility allows you to optimize Marty for your preferred markets and timeframes — from short-term scalping to longer swing trades.

Strategy Templates & Customization

Steady Gains Template
The baseline template strategy that serves as your starting point. This configuration has been battle-tested and provides a solid foundation for understanding how Marty operates in live markets.

Custom Configurations
Adjust the moving average period to create your own unique version. Use shorter periods (9-21) for aggressive short-term trades, or longer periods (50-200) for smoother swing trading aligned with major trends.

💡 Best for: Experienced traders who want to optimize the strategy for specific markets or timeframes
