"Convexity team on Alpaca AI Trading Agents Hackathon Hackathon"

Team Idea

Building an autonomous trading agent on Alpaca's Trading API and MCP server, structured in three layers — data ingestion, scanning, and a decision engine kept separate from execution so risk gates are actually enforceable rather than decorative. Options are part of the strategy from day one, not bolted on at the end. Need: Python/backend (REST, Alpaca integration), agent and MCP tooling, anyone comfortable structuring options positions, and someone strong on the demo and write-up. EST-friendly but open to any timezone. Fresh repo on the 28th. Experience welcome, curiosity required.

Convexity — the agent that cannot buy a wide book

A paper options agent on Alpaca where no model sits in the fill path. Every entry clears a mandatory RiskGate on a fresh quote, priced at the ask and never the mid. A 15-second brain supervises the book and can only ever reduce risk.
