AlphaShield Prime is an institutional-grade autonomous quantitative trading desk purpose-built for high-velocity options execution on SPY. While conventional bots trade equity shares or rely on unconstrained single prompts, AlphaShield Prime addresses the hackathon's core mandate: pure options derivatives governed by rigorous mathematical risk boundaries. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE & EXECUTION 1. Subprocess CLI IPC: Direct integration with native Alpaca CLI binaries executes bracket orders with sub-second latency, bypassing REST API rate limits. 2. Tri-Agent Deliberation Council: Powered by serverless Featherless GLM-5.2 (zai-org/GLM-5.2), orchestrating real-time adversarial debate between a Bull Strategist (momentum/Greeks), Bear Strategist (resistance/hedging), and Risk Arbiter before proposing trades. 3. Deterministic Dual-Veto Risk Governor: AI agents propose, but deterministic code verifies. Strictly enforces a 5% ($5,000) capital allocation cap, maximum 2 concurrent open positions, zero naked selling, and mandatory -20% Stop-Loss / +40% Take-Profit brackets. 4. Strategy Darwinism Lab: Allocates capital dynamically based on empirical performance (50% Gamma Trend, 30% Volatility Fade), automatically quarantining and decommissioning strategies whose edge score drops below 50. TRADER-CENTRIC PLATFORM The platform features a zero-watermark Hi-DPI HTML5 Canvas rendering 15m SPY candles, natural wicks, and 21-EMA ribbons, coupled with an interactive dual-pane Options Ticket and live multi-asset watchlist. Verified on Alpaca Paper Account PA3CMCT5LP09 with active filled contracts and positive equity performance.
