"Synthetix Alpha Agents team on Alpaca AI Trading Agents Hackathon Hackathon"

Team Idea

We are building an autonomous, risk-gated quantitative trading agent powered by LLM reasoning and the Alpaca MCP server. Our system combines real-time news/sentiment catalyst analysis with strict, deterministic quantitative guardrails (volatility-adjusted ATR sizing, hard stop-losses, and bracket order execution) to maximize risk-adjusted P&L and eliminate hallucinations.

An autonomous, risk-gated quantitative trading: LLM agents research strategies from arXiv and verify them out of sample, then a runtime agent trades options, equities and crypto on an Alpaca paper account through the Alpaca CLI.
