SolidRoute: Risk-Managed Options Execution Agent

SolidRoute is an advanced, Streamlit-based options execution agent designed to eliminate emotional trading and high-risk exposure through automated intelligence. Built natively with the Alpaca API for seamless paper trading, the platform provides real-time account tracking (Equity and Buying Power) and live asset charting within a vibrant, responsive light theme. Its defining feature is the Autonomous Risk Gatekeeper, which analyzes contract specifications and calculates implied volatility (IV) in real-time. If a trade exceeds safe threshold limits, SolidRoute triggers an intelligent cool-down warning banner, prompting users to bypass with caution or instantly pivot to secure, low-risk alternative assets like defensive value shares and treasury index ETFs. Engineered for both seamless judge evaluation and production-grade reliability, the application incorporates a dual-credential design: it automatically falls back to secure secrets for zero-friction cloud onboarding while allowing custom API key inputs on the fly for personal portfolio linking. Satisfying advanced hackathon criteria, SolidRoute also integrates Model Context Protocol (MCP) and CLI server status connectivity. Complete with real-time market hour checks, robust error handling, and automated order routing via the `alpaca-py` SDK, SolidRoute delivers a polished, responsive, and risk-aware trading assistant.
