Reviews from actual traders

The API is easy and flexible. However I am missing a bit more powerful options to see P/L per stock directly from the API without needing to manually manage it

I use Tradingview for mobile trading with Alpaca and I am quite satisfied. Also, as a European, I can buy US ETFs. Also, the minimal fees for trading stocks and options are great.

I've been using Alpaca for a while now, and I have to say their API is one of the best I've worked with in the trading space. The API documentation is clean, clear, and easy to follow, which made it super smooth to get my trading bot up and running. Whether you're placing trades, pulling historical data, or managing your account, everything is well-structured and thoughtfully designed. They also provide websocket support for live market data and order updates, which has been rock-solid in my experience. As a developer, I really appreciate how developer-friendly the platform is. If you're building your own algo trading tools or just exploring automated trading, Alpaca is definitely worth trying.

Alpaca and Trading View seem to work well together. I placed many trades on stock and ETFs. They also recently opened up crypto trades for AZ users so I was happy about that.

I love it and there's so much you can do , its took my trading to another Level and easy to use with other Api connectionsFlawless. Thank you

5 stars if they would offer cash accounts not just margins accounts! Execution and fills are very fast. Also great API. If they would offer cash accounts I'd switch to it as my main broker in no-time!

It has been a pretty easy and seamless process connecting Alpaca to Tradingvie to accomplish what I set forth to accomplish. The only complaint that I have is my options trading level 2. I've applied for a level 3 twice and have received no response.

Their api can be spotty

Won't let me sell ethereum or crypto

I love the amount of pairs available to trade and being able to move the take profit and stop loss on tradingview. It's the only broker that I could find that checks all the boxes for my needs.

Pretty great for a simple API for to plug in my hosted algo trader. Cheap and easy to get up and running with. Basic. Documentation could use some work.

Great integration with Alpaca. Possibly add available buying power ?

Excellent platform

Won’t support the same stock symbols doesn’t work for me

Fast, Reliable, PDT Restriction is the weakness

Buggy and too many minimal requirements for day trading

When trying to automate I have ran into every possible roadblock. So many unnecessary restrictions that make it very hard to just test simple strategies
