IV rank Premium Harvester

👋 Introducing: IV-Rank Premium Harvester What it is: An automated options-selling agent built on Alpaca's Trading API + Market Data API. It screens a watchlist for elevated implied volatility (relative to each symbol's own history) and, when it finds a good setup, opens defined-risk credit spreads or iron condors against it — with mechanical profit-take and stop-loss exits, no manual intervention. How it runs: The whole thing is driven by a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow that fires every 30 minutes during US market hours, Monday–Friday. Each run: 1. Checks Alpaca's live market clock (so it automatically respects holidays/early closes) 2. Screens the watchlist for IV-rank candidates 3. Sizes and proposes trades within portfolio risk limits 4. Logs the results to a live status dashboard Status: ✅ Fully deployed and running in paper-trading (dry-run) mode ✅ Live dashboard: https://elle31416.github.io/Alpaca-trading-bot/ — shows account equity, candidates screened, trades placed, and last run time, refreshed automatically ✅ End-to-end pipeline verified: market-hours gating, screening logic, and automated status commits all working What's next: - Tuning the watchlist so more candidates pass the IV-rank threshold - Building out the equity curve and trade history views as more runs accumulate - Eventually moving from dry-run to live paper-trade execution Happy to walk anyone through the repo or the dashboard — it's all open in Alpaca-trading-bot.
