"ThetaForge team on Alpaca AI Trading Agents Hackathon Hackathon"

Team Idea

ThetaForge — an autonomous AI trading agent that redirects a battle-tested ML momentum model into defined-risk options structures. A momentum system validated over 3,600 backtests on the most liquid S&P 500 names decides where and which way; the agent expresses that view by selling put credit spreads and iron condors through Alpaca's Trading API, MCP server and CLI — harvesting the volatility risk premium with a hard max loss on every position. Live dashboard, transparent risk gates, P&L from day one.
