What is ATMA?

ATMA (Automated Trading Management Assistant) is an intelligent trading system that helps you execute options trading strategies automatically. It connects to your brokerage account and executes trades based on your configured strategies, removing emotional decision-making from the trading process.

How do I get started?

Getting started with ATMA is simple:

  1. Create an account on our platform
  2. Connect your brokerage (we support Tradier)
  3. Configure your settings including risk parameters
  4. Start with paper trading to test strategies risk-free
  5. Go live when you're comfortable

Which brokerages do you support?

Currently, ATMA integrates with Tradier, a commission-free options trading platform. Tradier offers both live trading accounts and free sandbox (paper trading) accounts for testing.

What does ATMA trade?

ATMA specializes in trading SPY options (S&P 500 ETF). It focuses on 0DTE (zero days to expiration) and short-term options strategies, using technical analysis signals to identify high-probability trade setups.

How does the bot decide when to trade?

ATMA receives signals from TradingView based on your configured strategies. When a signal triggers (indicating a potential trade setup), ATMA automatically evaluates market conditions and executes the trade according to your risk parameters.

Can I control how much I risk per trade?

Yes! You have full control over your risk parameters:

  • Position size - Set maximum contracts per trade
  • Daily loss limit - Automatically stops trading if reached
  • Stop loss - Configurable percentage for each trade
  • Profit targets - Automatic exit at your target

What are the trading hours?

ATMA trades during regular US market hours: 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (excluding market holidays). You can also configure a custom trading window to avoid the first and last minutes of market hours.

Is there a free trial?

Yes! You can use ATMA with Tradier's free sandbox account to paper trade and test strategies without risking real money. This allows you to see how the system works before committing to live trading.

Is my brokerage account safe?

Yes. ATMA uses secure API tokens that only allow trading actions - never withdrawals. Your funds remain safely in your brokerage account at all times. We never have access to your login credentials or the ability to move money out of your account.

How is my data protected?

We take security seriously:

  • API keys are encrypted and stored securely
  • All connections use HTTPS encryption
  • We never store your brokerage login credentials
  • You can revoke API access at any time from your brokerage

What are the risks of automated trading?

Options trading involves significant risk:

  • You can lose your entire investment on any trade
  • Past performance does not guarantee future results
  • Market conditions can change rapidly
  • Technical issues may occasionally occur

We strongly recommend: Starting with paper trading, using strict risk limits, and never trading with money you can't afford to lose.
