"AlpacaSentry team on Alpaca AI Trading Agents Hackathon Hackathon"
Team Idea
AlpacaSentry is an autonomous, event-driven trading agent built on Alpaca's Trading API and MCP server. Rather than waiting for user prompts, it continuously monitors live price and volume data for a configurable watchlist. When a defined trigger condition fires, it spins up a reasoning loop, which pulls fresh market data, account state, and recent news through Alpaca's MCP tools, evaluates the setup against a stated strategy, and produces an explicit, human-readable rationale before deciding whether to act. Every decision passes through a risk-guardrail layer enforcing position-size limits, daily trade caps, and a paper-trading-only mode, with an optional human-confirmation step for live demos. A dashboard shows the trigger, the agent's full reasoning trace, the resulting order, and running P&L, so judges can watch cause and effect in real time rather than trusting a black box. A replay mode lets the same agent loop run against historical bars for quick backtesting and demo rehearsal.
