# ATM — Automated Trading Monitor Personal tool for the **M2D strategy** on TradeStation DIA/GLD charts with US30/XAUUSD execution on TradeLocker. The bot watches the colored dot strip produced by the *M2D MAPS* custom indicator and sends a Telegram/Discord notification (with chart screenshot + SL/TP levels) when a BUY or SELL trigger fires — so you execute the trade manually in TradeLocker instead of watching two screens. **Current phase: Faza 1 — notification-only.** No auto-execution until prop firm TOS has been audited (see `docs/phase2-prop-firm-audit.md`). --- ## Project structure ``` atm/ ├── pyproject.toml ├── configs/ # calibration configs (YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.toml + current.txt) ├── logs/ # audit JSONL + dead-letter queue ├── samples/ # screenshots for dry-run validation └── src/atm/ ├── config.py # Config dataclass + loader ├── detector.py # screenshot → color → state machine ├── state_machine.py ├── vision.py # color matching helpers ├── levels.py # SL/TP pixel-to-price ├── calibrate.py # Tkinter calibration wizard ├── labeler.py # Tkinter sample labeler ├── journal.py # trade journal (JSONL) ├── report.py # weekly performance report ├── audit.py # structured audit log ├── canary.py # layout drift detection ├── dryrun.py # replay saved screenshots ├── notifier/ │ ├── discord.py │ └── telegram.py └── main.py # unified CLI ``` --- ## Setup ### Prerequisites - Python 3.11+ - Windows 10/11 (required for live capture; dry-run works on any OS) - TradeStation running with a 3-minute DIA or GLD chart open ### Install ```bash # Clone (internal repo) git clone git@gitea.romfast.ro:romfast/atm.git cd atm # Create venv and install python -m venv .venv .venv\Scripts\activate # Windows pip install -e . # Windows-only extras (screen capture, window detection) pip install -e ".[windows]" ``` ### Environment variables (notifiers) Create a `.env` file or set these in your shell before running: ``` ATM_DISCORD_WEBHOOK=https://discord.com/api/webhooks/... ATM_TELEGRAM_TOKEN=123456789:AABBcc... ATM_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=-100123456789 ``` --- ## Calibration workflow Calibration maps the TradeStation window layout to the config that drives detection. **Redo calibration whenever you resize the chart window, change DPI, or switch monitors.** ### Step-by-step 1. **Open TradeStation** with the 3-minute DIA chart. Maximise or snap to a fixed position. Do not resize it during the session. 2. **Run the calibration wizard:** ```bash atm calibrate ``` 3. **Pick window title** — type the exact string that appears in the TradeStation title bar (e.g. `DIA - 3 Min`). The bot uses this to locate the window via `pygetwindow`. 4. **Mark the dot ROI** — a screenshot of the current window is shown. Click the top-left corner and the bottom-right corner of the M2D MAPS dot strip to define the region of interest. 5. **Sample dot colours** — for each of the 7 dot colours (turquoise, yellow, dark green, dark red, light green, light red, gray), click a representative dot in the screenshot. The wizard records the RGB value and sets an initial tolerance of 30. 6. **Set y-axis calibration points** — click on two price levels that appear as visible horizontal gridlines on the chart, then type the corresponding price for each. This calibrates the pixel-y → price mapping for SL/TP extraction. 7. **Select canary region** — drag a small rectangle over a stable, unchanging part of the chart border (title bar strip works well). This becomes the baseline for canary drift detection. 8. **Save** — the wizard writes `configs/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.toml` and updates `configs/current.txt`. Future runs load this config automatically. ### Verify calibration ```bash atm dryrun --dir samples/ ``` Review the dry-run output. Every sample should classify to the expected dot colour. If misclassifications appear, re-run the calibration wizard or adjust tolerances manually in the TOML file. --- ## Per-session operating checklist Before each trading window (NY open 16:30 RO, NY close 21:00 RO): - [ ] TradeStation open on 3-minute DIA chart, window not minimised - [ ] Chart window is in the same position/size as when calibrated - [ ] TradeLocker open in browser, instrument US30 loaded, position sizing ready - [ ] Telegram / Discord notification channel visible on mobile or second screen - [ ] Run `atm canary-check` — confirm no drift alert before starting the bot - [ ] Start the monitor: `atm run` - [ ] After the session: `atm journal add` to record trade outcome (or leave `outcome=open` to fill later) - [ ] At week end: `atm report --week YYYY-WW` to review win rate and PnL in R --- ## DPI and multi-monitor notes - **High-DPI displays:** Windows DPI scaling can shift pixel coordinates. Set TradeStation to "System (Enhanced)" DPI compatibility mode (right-click EXE → Properties → Compatibility → Change high DPI settings) OR set Python to DPI-unaware via `SetProcessDPIAware()` in the manifest. The calibration wizard and capture code both call `SetProcessDPIAware()` on start. - **Multiple monitors:** `mss` captures the monitor that contains the target window. The ROI offsets in the config are relative to the window's own top-left, so moving the window between sessions (but not resizing) is usually safe. Moving to a different monitor with a different DPI **requires recalibration**. - **Virtual desktops / remote desktop:** Screen capture via `mss` does not work through RDP (the window reports on-screen but the pixel data is black). Run the bot locally on the same physical machine as TradeStation. --- ## Troubleshooting ### Window not found ``` WindowNotFoundError: No window matching 'DIA - 3 Min' ``` **Causes and fixes:** - TradeStation is minimised — restore it to a visible state. - The window title has changed — re-run `atm calibrate` and provide the exact current title string. Copy-paste from the title bar. - DPI scaling changed the reported title encoding — confirm the title in `pygetwindow.getWindowsWithTitle("")` output. ### Canary drift alert ``` CanaryDriftAlert: phash distance 12 > threshold 8 ``` The chart layout has shifted (e.g., chart scroll, zoom change, indicator redraw). **Do not trade until this is resolved.** 1. Check TradeStation — scroll or zoom may have shifted the DOT ROI out of frame. 2. Reset the chart to the calibrated state (same zoom/scroll as during calibration). 3. If the layout change was intentional, re-run calibration. 4. To suppress a single false alarm without recalibrating, run `atm canary-reset` which re-samples the canary region baseline from the current screenshot. ### Low confidence warnings ``` LowConfidence: cycle 5 — best match 'gray' dist=0.27 (threshold 0.20) ``` The sampled pixel is near the edge of a colour tolerance zone. Usually caused by: - Screenshot timing during a dot colour transition (rare on 3-min chart). - Chart re-render artifact (scaling seam at ROI boundary). If this persists for more than 3 consecutive cycles, an alert is sent automatically. Verify the dot strip is fully visible and not clipped by another window. ### Notification not received 1. Check `logs/audit.jsonl` for the last cycle — look for `"notification_sent": false` and the `reason` field. 2. Verify webhook/token: `atm test-notify`. 3. Check network connectivity from the Windows machine to Discord/Telegram endpoints.
