Bot Strategies
Three risk levels for the automated bot. Your level is selected when you apply — no configuration required.
Smaller position sizes, wider stop-loss buffers, lower trade frequency. Designed to minimize drawdown while still participating in strong setups. Best for users who prioritize capital preservation.
- Position SizeSmall (5% of balance)
- Stop LossWider buffer
- Trade FrequencyLow — strong signals only
- Best ForNew traders, small accounts
The default and recommended mode for most beta testers. Standard position sizing, moderate stop placement. Captures a wider range of EMA + RSI + MACD setups without over-trading.
- Position SizeStandard (10% of balance)
- Stop LossStandard ATR-based
- Trade FrequencyMedium
- Best ForMost users — start here
Larger relative positions, tighter stops, higher trade frequency. Targets bigger moves and takes more setups. Higher variance — expect larger swings in both directions. Not recommended for first-time bot users.
- Position SizeLarger (15% of balance)
- Stop LossTighter, faster exits
- Trade FrequencyHigh
- Best ForExperienced, risk-tolerant
How the Bot Logic Works
Runs locally on your machine. No server. No cloud. No dashboard.
Runs Locally on Your Machine
The bot is a Python script that runs in your terminal. There is no server, no cloud execution, and no web dashboard. Your computer stays on, the terminal stays open, and the bot runs for as long as you let it. Close the terminal and the bot stops — that simple.
API-Connected to Your Alpaca Account
The bot connects directly to your Alpaca account using your API credentials. Keys never leave your machine — they are read locally and sent directly to Alpaca's API. All trades execute inside your own brokerage account. We have zero visibility or access to your account.
Scans Every 60 Seconds During Market Hours
The bot loops every minute while the market is open (9:30am–4:00pm ET for stocks, 24/7 for crypto). Each scan evaluates EMA 9/21 crossovers, RSI momentum, and MACD signal line crosses across your configured watchlist. When conditions align, it enters. When a position hits its target or stop, it exits automatically.
Four-Layer Exit System
Every position has four defined exit conditions: Take Profit target, Stop Loss (hard floor), Breakeven lock-in once the trade is up enough, and End-of-Day close for stock positions. The bot manages all of these automatically. You never need to babysit open trades.
Logs Everything Locally
Every scan, signal, entry, exit, and stop is written to a timestamped log file on your machine. A daily summary runs at 4:05pm ET and produces a clean P&L report with account equity, day P&L, trade-by-trade breakdown, and weekly running total.
Stop Anytime — Full Control
You can stop the bot at any time by closing the application. To cut all access permanently, revoke your API key inside Alpaca's dashboard — the bot loses all access the moment the key is revoked. No account changes, no contacting us required.
