What it is

A software tool, not an advisor and not a fund.

StratosTrader is a hosted software service that automates order placement for a grid/ladder trading strategy you configure. It runs on top of your own Alpaca brokerage account, using API keys you connect yourself. Your funds and your trades stay in your own brokerage account the entire time; StratosTrader never takes custody of your money and never has the ability to withdraw it.

How it works

Three steps to get running.

1

Connect your Alpaca account

Sign up and securely connect your own Alpaca API keys. They're encrypted at rest and never shown back to you after entry.

2

Set your grid parameters

Choose your step size, quantity per rung, and maximum position from your dashboard. Start on paper trading to try it risk-free.

3

The bot runs the strategy

StratosTrader places and manages orders on your account according to your configuration, and you can stop it at any time.

Pricing

Simple, usage-based pricing. No subscription, no charge until you trade.

A small % of each trade

A small percentage of each trade's dollar value, just enough to cover computing costs. Accrued fees are billed once per month via Stripe, never charged per trade.

  • No setup fee, no monthly minimum
  • Free paper trading to test your configuration
  • Cancel or disconnect your account at any time

Connect your account and configure your first grid

Your funds stay in your own Alpaca account the whole time.
