MMT Provider

MMT is the only external provider currently integrated into Market Lab.

Website:

• mmt.gg

Symbol Normalization

Market Lab accepts symbols such as:

• BTC/USDT
• HYPE/USDT

MMT expects quotes usd, so Market Lab normalizes symbols before sending requests.

Example:

• app input: BTC/USDT
• MMT request symbol: btc/usd

Time Units

Market Lab uses milliseconds internally and at the CLI boundary.

MMT range endpoints accept Unix seconds.

Market Lab converts:

• app ms
• to MMT s
• then normalizes returned timestamps back to ms

That means you should think in milliseconds when using Market Lab commands.

Current Scope

At the moment, the docs and command examples assume:

• --provider mmt

More providers can be added later, but they are not part of the current documented surface.

Source Behavior

Current MMT-backed source commands:

• source orderbook
• source candles
• source vd

Streaming behavior differs by source:

• orderbook: websocket depth updates
• candles: websocket candle updates
• vd: websocket candle-like volume delta updates

Study Behavior

Current MMT-backed studies use either:

• live orderbook snapshots
• websocket orderbook streams
• range candle or VD requests

Examples:

• slippage, spread, depth, imbalance, vamp: live orderbook-driven
• cvd: VD-driven
• strategy run/backtest sma-crossover: candles-driven

Stream Validation Rules

Market Lab rejects confusing flag combinations.

Examples:

• source candles --stream rejects --from/--to
• source vd --stream rejects --from/--to
• study cvd --stream rejects --from/--to
• strategy run sma-crossover allows optional --from warmup
• strategy backtest sma-crossover requires --from and --to
