This generic\n  version works with any Alpaca SDK, REST API call, or agent tool that can\n  reach the Trading API.\n---\n\n# Alpaca Paper Trading\n\nUse this skill when you want your AI agent to preview, submit, inspect, and manage paper-trading orders using Alpaca's Trading API.\n\nThis skill is written for you, a Trading API user working with your own Alpaca paper-trading account, credentials, and local workspace. Your agent should make assumptions visible, protect secrets, and confirm order details before submission.\n\nThis is the generic (implementation-agnostic) version of the paper-trading skill. It describes the workflow, safety gates, and output contract without binding to any specific execution tool. You can use the Alpaca Python SDK (`alpaca-py`), the REST API directly, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, C#, or any tool that speaks to the Trading API. CLI-specific and MCP-specific companion skills exist for users who prefer those execution paths — see §10 for links.\n\n---\n\n## 0 - How your AI agent should use this skill\n\n1. **Start with your job.** Identify what the signal is — a backtest output, a manual trade idea, a scheduled trigger, or an automated system event. Your agent reads any associated context (backtest run folder, strategy description, alert payload) to understand the intent.\n\n2. **Reiterate the strategy logic.** Your agent restates the strategy interpretation in plain language — entry/exit conditions, indicator parameters, position sizing, and any assumptions — and confirms with you that the interpretation is correct before proceeding.\n\n3. **Gather and confirm ALL detailed configurations before execution.** Your agent collects every order parameter explicitly:\n   - Timing of execution (immediate, scheduled, conditional)\n   - Asset class (US equity, US options, crypto)\n   - Symbol(s)\n   - Side (buy / sell)\n   - Quantity or notional amount\n   - Order type (market, limit, stop, stop_limit, trailing_stop)\n   - Time-in-force (day, gtc, ioc, fok, opg, cls)\n   - Limit price and/or stop price if applicable\n   - Extended-hours flag\n   - Risk controls (max position size, max notional, stop-loss, take-profit)\n   - Margin usage\n\n4. **Confirm which paper account is being used.** Your agent verifies that the paper account's configuration meets the strategy's requirements — options approval level, crypto enabled, margin vs cash account, PDT status. It does not assume features are enabled without checking.\n\n5. **Show a complete order preview table before submission.** Every order gets a visual preview with all parameters displayed, estimated notional, and buying power check. No order is ever submitted without a preview.\n\n6. **Ask about confirmation preference.** Your agent asks whether you want explicit confirmation before each order submission, or whether you prefer auto-submit mode. It respects your preference for the session. Default: confirmation ON.\n\n7. **Submit the order to the paper-trading environment only.** Your agent verifies the environment is paper before every submission. It never submits to live.\n\n8. **Return complete post-submission details.** After submission, your agent returns the order ID, status, submitted payload summary, and next inspection steps.\n\n9. **Monitor and update on order lifecycle.**\n   - **Filled** → how many shares/contracts, at what price, and how the fill changes portfolio risk.\n   - **Partially filled** → current fill vs remaining quantity, average fill price so far.\n   - **Rejected** → the rejection reason and specific remediation suggestions.\n   - **Canceled** → who canceled (you, system, broker) and why.\n\n10. **Never place live trades.** If live credentials are detected — base URL without the `paper-` prefix, or a profile set to live — your agent stops immediately and warns you. This is a hard block, not a soft warning.\n\n---\n\n## 1 - Prerequisites\n\n- **Alpaca paper-trading account** — free at [alpaca.markets](https://alpaca.markets)\n- **Paper API key and secret key** stored in environment variables (`APCA_API_KEY_ID`, `APCA_API_SECRET_KEY`) or SDK/CLI profile — never pasted into chat\n- **Paper base URL**: `https://paper-api.alpaca.markets` (for REST) or appropriate SDK configuration pointing to the paper environment\n- **For options**: options trading must be enabled on the paper account with the appropriate approval level (level 1 for covered calls and cash-secured puts, level 2 to buy calls and puts, level 3 for spreads and straddles)\n- **For crypto**: crypto trading must be enabled on the paper account\n- **SDK / language runtime** (choose one):\n  - Python 3.10+ with `alpaca-py` (recommended)\n  - JavaScript/TypeScript with `@alpacahq/alpaca-trade-api` (v4+, first-party and actively maintained)\n  - Go with `github.com/alpacahq/alpaca-trade-api-go/v3` — the `/v3` suffix is required; without it you pull the v1 path\n  - C# with `Alpaca.Markets` (first-party). Community SDKs exist for Java and others.\n  - Direct REST API calls via `curl`, `httpx`, `requests`, or any HTTP client\n- **Network access** to Alpaca APIs (`paper-api.alpaca.markets`)\n\n---\n\n## 2 - Gather inputs\n\n### Required inputs\n\n| Input | Description | Default |\n|---|---|---|\n| `signal_source` | Where the trade idea comes from (backtest, manual, automation) | Must be provided |\n| `symbol` | Ticker symbol (e.g., `AAPL`, `BTC/USD`, `AAPL250718C00200000` for options) | Must be provided |\n| `side` | `buy` or `sell` | Must be provided |\n| `qty_or_notional` | Number of shares/contracts OR dollar amount (use `qty` for shares/contracts, `notional` for dollar amount) | Must be provided |\n| `order_type` | `market`, `limit`, `stop`, `stop_limit`, `trailing_stop` — **supported values vary by asset class, see below** | `market` |\n| `time_in_force` | `day`, `gtc`, `ioc`, `fok`, `opg`, `cls` — **supported values vary by asset class, see below** | `day` for equities; `gtc` for crypto |\n\n### Per-asset-class constraints\n\nThe API rejects combinations outside this matrix, so your agent validates before submitting rather than after:\n\n| Asset class | Order types | Time-in-force | Order classes |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `us_equity` | `market`, `limit`, `stop`, `stop_limit`, `trailing_stop` | `day`, `gtc`, `opg`, `cls`, `ioc`, `fok` | `simple`, `bracket`, `oco`, `oto` |\n| `us_option` | `market`, `limit`, `stop`, `stop_limit` (`stop` types single-leg only) | `day`, `gtc` | `simple`, `mleg` |\n| `crypto` | `market`, `limit`, `stop_limit` | `gtc`, `ioc` — `stop_limit` is `gtc`-only, and `ioc` applies only to `market` and `limit` | `simple` |\n\nTreat this as guidance for constructing orders, not as a hard pre-submission gate. Alpaca's sources disagree on the options row: the OpenAPI `TimeInForce`/`OrderType` descriptions say `market`/`limit` with `day` only, while the Options Trading page and the Placing Orders matrix both allow `gtc` and both allow `stop`/`stop_limit` on single-leg orders. The two product pages agree against the spec blob, so this table follows them. Default to `day` for options as the conservative choice, but let Alpaca reject rather than pre-blocking something the matrix permits.\n\nConstraints that cut across order type:\n\n- **Extended hours** requires `limit` type with `day` or `gtc` TIF. Everything else is rejected.\n- **Trailing stop** accepts only `day` and `gtc`.\n- **Notional** orders cannot be combined with `qty` and **cannot be replaced** — cancel and resubmit instead. For equities they additionally require `market` type with `day` TIF; crypto notional orders are market-type and use the crypto TIF set (`gtc`/`ioc`), so the equities `day` restriction does not apply to them.\n- **Bracket, OCO, and OTO** are equities-only, require `day` or `gtc`, and do not support extended hours.\n- **`mleg`** carries up to 4 legs and is how multi-leg options strategies are expressed.\n\n### Optional inputs\n\n| Input | Description | Default |\n|---|---|---|\n| `limit_price` | Required for `limit` and `stop_limit` orders | None |\n| `stop_price` | Required for `stop` and `stop_limit` orders | None |\n| `trail_price` or `trail_percent` | For trailing stop orders (one or the other, not both) | None |\n| `extended_hours` | Allow extended-hours execution (equities only; `limit` type with `day` or `gtc` TIF) | `false` |\n| `client_order_id` | User-supplied idempotency key (max 128 chars) | Auto-generated UUID |\n| `confirmation_mode` | Whether your agent asks for explicit confirmation before each order | `on` |\n| `risk_controls` | Max position size, max notional, max loss threshold | None (recommended to set) |\n| `asset_class` | `us_equity`, `us_option`, `crypto` | Inferred from symbol format |\n| `order_class` | `simple`, `bracket`, `oco`, `oto`, `mleg` — see the per-asset-class matrix above | `simple` |\n| `position_intent` | `buy_to_open`, `buy_to_close`, `sell_to_open`, `sell_to_close` (options only) | Inferred from context |\n\n### Strategy confirmation checklist\n\nBefore proceeding past the configuration phase, your agent must confirm each of these with you:\n\n- [ ] **Strategy logic interpretation is correct** — the agent's restatement of your strategy matches your intent\n- [ ] **Timing** — immediate execution, or scheduled/conditional (e.g., \"only if price drops below $180\")\n- [ ] **Asset class and symbol are correct** — the right ticker, the right contract (for options), the right pair (for crypto)\n- [ ] **Order parameters match the strategy intent** — type, side, quantity, prices, TIF all align with what you want\n- [ ] **Paper account is configured for this asset class** — options approval, crypto enabled, margin type\n- [ ] **Risk controls are set** (or explicitly waived) — you've acknowledged position sizing, stop-loss, and concentration limits\n\n---\n\n## 3 - Source-of-truth references\n\n| Source | URL | Used for |\n|---|---|---|\n| Trading API overview | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/trading-api | API capabilities and structure |\n| Working with orders | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/working-with-orders | Order submission, replacement, cancellation |\n| Orders on Alpaca | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/orders-at-alpaca | Order types, TIF values, status lifecycle |\n| Paper trading | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/paper-trading | Paper environment behavior and limitations |\n| Working with positions | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/working-with-positions | Position retrieval and management |\n| Working with account | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/working-with-account | Account state, buying power, day trade count |\n| Working with assets | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/working-with-assets | Tradability checks, asset attributes |\n| Options trading | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/options-trading | Options order specifics, approval levels |\n| Crypto trading | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/crypto-trading | Crypto order specifics, supported pairs |\n| Alpaca disclosures | https://alpaca.markets/disclosures | Required disclosure language |\n\n---\n\n## 4 - Workflow\n\n### Phase 1: Strategy Confirmation\n\n**Step 1 — Identify the signal source.**\nYour agent determines where the trade idea comes from:\n- **Backtest output**: read the run folder (`notes.md`, `summary.json`) to extract the strategy logic, confirmed parameters, and the last signal. Parse the signal for symbol, side, quantity, and any price targets.\n- **Manual idea**: you describe the trade in natural language. Your agent extracts the parameters and asks clarifying questions.\n- **Automated system**: a webhook, alert, or scheduled trigger. Your agent reads the payload and maps it to order parameters.\n\n**Step 2 — Reiterate the strategy logic.**\nYour agent restates the complete strategy interpreta","tagline":"Preview, submit, inspect, and manage Alpaca paper-trading orders across US equities, options, and crypto.
