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.

Your account, your money

Funds and positions stay in your own Alpaca account. StratosTrader can place orders but can never withdraw.

Encrypted API keys

Your Alpaca keys are encrypted at rest and never shown back to you after entry.

Paper trading first

Try your settings on Alpaca's paper account free. Going live takes a typed confirmation.

Extended hours

Orders are flagged for pre-market and after-hours sessions, not just the regular trading day.

How it works

Three steps to get running.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.
