Trading options was always a dream of mine—a way to combine strategy, data, and risk management into something truly rewarding. But for a long time, I felt held back by the tools available. Everything seemed overly complex, disconnected, and just too time-consuming to make trading scalable for someone balancing other responsibilities.
Enter Alpaca’s REST API
It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s been life-changing. The ability to programmatically execute trades, automate my strategies, and streamline portfolio management has brought a sense of freedom I never thought possible.
But as amazing as the journey has been, I still feel like we’re missing one piece of the puzzle: Debit and Credit Spread support.
So here’s my ask to the amazing Alpaca development team: Let’s make it happen in Q1 2025. This feature is a game-changer, and we’ve all been eagerly waiting to see it come to life. You’ve already transformed the way we trade; now take it to the next level.
Cheers!
