Live Integration

Automate your Alpaca trades

Alpaca is built for automation as a first principle, not retrofitted onto a retail platform. RelayDesk connects directly to execute stocks and options at zero commission across a single account, with a full paper trading environment so every strategy gets validated before real capital is at risk.

What's included

Everything included

Full-featured automation. Not just a basic order bridge.

Zero-Commission Execution

Every trade executes at zero commission. At scale, dozens of signals a day and hundreds a week, that difference compounds directly into strategy returns.

Paper Trading Environment

Test every new strategy safely in Alpaca's paper trading sandbox before deploying real capital. RelayDesk mirrors your live config exactly.

Built-for-Automation API

Alpaca's API was designed for programmatic trading from the ground up. RelayDesk benefits from consistent sub-second order acknowledgment, WebSocket position updates, and an API surface that doesn't break under high-frequency bot workloads.

Real-Time Position Sync

RelayDesk maintains a live view of your Alpaca portfolio. Signals are cross-referenced against real-time positions to prevent duplicate entries and oversizing.

Multi-Strategy Routing

Run multiple bots against the same Alpaca account simultaneously. RelayDesk routes each signal to the correct strategy with isolated risk rules.

Fill and P&L Reporting

Every fill, partial fill, and rejection is logged in real time. View strategy-level P&L, win rate, and drawdown directly in your RelayDesk dashboard.
