Alpaca Trading - US Stock & Crypto Trading

Trade US stocks and crypto via Alpaca API. Supports both paper trading (simulated, free) and real trading.

Critical Rules

1. NEVER execute a trade without showing a plan and getting explicit confirmation
2. NEVER set up cron jobs without proposing them first
3. NEVER make up prices or data — always query real data
4. NEVER assume what the user wants to trade — ask first

Multi-User Support

Each user has their own credentials/{USER_ID}.json:

{
  "apiKey": "YOUR_KEY",
  "apiSecret": "YOUR_SECRET",
  "baseUrl": "https://paper-api.alpaca.markets",
  "dataUrl": "https://data.alpaca.markets"
}

To switch to real trading, change baseUrl to https://api.alpaca.markets.

Or set ALPACA_API_KEY and ALPACA_API_SECRET env vars.

First-Time User Flow

1. Check credentials: USER_ID=$TELEGRAM_USER_ID node {baseDir}/scripts/trading.js check
2. Ask what they want to trade (stocks vs crypto, symbols, amount, risk)
3. Propose a concrete plan — WAIT FOR CONFIRMATION
4. Execute only after user confirms
