Alpaca Trading Skill
What it does
Trade stocks, ETFs, options, and crypto via Alpaca's REST API using curl. Full options support (buy/sell calls & puts, covered calls, cash-secured puts, spreads, exercise, contract lookup, option chain data). Manage orders, positions, watchlists, account activities, and portfolio history. Access real-time and historical market data for stocks, options, and crypto including quotes, bars, snapshots, news, screener (most active, top movers), and corporate actions. Use when the user mentions "buy," "sell," "trade," "options," "call," "put," "market data," "stock price," "stock quote," "portfolio," "account balance," "positions," "orders," "alpaca," "market clock," "watchlist," "top movers," "most active," or any stock/crypto/options trading task. No external CLI binary required — uses curl + jq directly.
