A learning engine analyses closed trade outcomes every 5 trades and adjusts 15 signal weights using Claude AI — the system gets measurably smarter over time. Alpaca Integration KRAKN·AI uses Alpaca’s Trading API for all US stock and options execution. The agent scans AAPL, NVDA, MSFT, TSLA, SPY, QQQ and others for signals, executes directional options strategies (calls on BUY signals, puts on SELL signals), and runs a Fear & Greed entry filter that only enters during market fear conditions. Verified Results Live verified trades: XRP +42.9% and ADA +30.6% in a single market cycle, both captured by the trailing stop at peak price.
