Frequently Asked Questions

Software you buy and run yourself on your own machine. We do not manage your account — you do. You download Python scripts, configure them with your own Alpaca API keys, run them in your terminal, and the bot executes trades automatically inside your own brokerage account.

Currently stocks and crypto through Alpaca. Options (via Tastytrade API) and futures (via Interactive Brokers or NinjaTrader) are planned for future separate tiers — not yet available.

Alpaca for all current tiers. Alpaca is free to open, has no commissions on US equities, and offers full API access for both paper and live trading. Sign up at alpaca.markets — no deposit required for paper trading.

No. Trading always involves risk of loss. Our bots follow defined rule-based logic — they will take losses when setups fail. That is expected and normal. Past paper trading results do not predict or guarantee future live trading performance.

The bot follows rules. It takes losses by design — stop-losses are built in. When a trade hits its stop, the bot exits automatically. You control whether the bot runs at all and can stop it at any time by closing the terminal process.

Basic terminal comfort is all you need. If you can open a terminal window, run a command like `pip install`, and edit a text file, you can run this. The setup README walks through every step for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

The Pattern Day Trader (PDT) rule applies to Alpaca margin accounts with under $25,000 in equity. It limits you to 3 day trades per rolling 5-business-day period. The stocks bot executes same-day trades, so it will trigger this limit on a margin account. Fix: switch to a cash account in Alpaca settings (Account → Account Type → Cash). Cash accounts have no PDT restrictions.

Yes. Python 3.10+ runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The setup README covers all three operating systems with platform-specific instructions.

Yes. Your API keys live in a .env file on your own machine — they are never submitted to us, never stored on our servers, and never transmitted to Bulls Wall Street. The bot communicates directly with Alpaca from your machine using your local environment variables.

Live trading is coming soon. Right now we are in beta — and that is intentional. Before we put real money on the line, we want to make sure the bot is rock solid. Beta testing lets us catch edge cases, fine-tune the strategy, and make sure every member has a smooth experience from day one. Once we are confident the system is consistent and stable, live trading will open. We will notify all beta members first.

We are building this step by step. Stocks and crypto are live in beta now. Options and futures are next on the roadmap — but we want to get each tier right before moving to the next one. We would rather do three things well than five things halfway. Want to be first in line when options or futures drop? Sign up on the contact page and let us know which one you are waiting for. We will reach out to the waitlist before anything goes public.

Yes. Both bots run simultaneously in separate terminal windows on a shared Alpaca account. The position architecture is designed for this: 3 stock positions + 2 crypto positions = 5 total shared positions. The Full Bundle tier includes both bots configured to work together.
