Trading Mode

PAPER

Current mode: Paper

Paper mode uses paper-api.alpaca.markets with simulated funds.
Live mode uses api.alpaca.markets with real money.

Auto Trading

Auto Trading: OFF

Scans market every 15 min during market hours and places bracket orders automatically.

Connect Alpaca first to enable auto trading.

Short Trading

Short Selling: OFF

When enabled, the screener also identifies declining stocks and opens short positions with reversed bracket orders (SL above entry, TP below entry).

Connect Alpaca first to enable short trading.

Trade Alerts

Trade Alerts: ON

Sends an instant email when a position opens or closes (stop-loss, take-profit, or manual). Max 20 alerts/day — extras roll into the daily digest.

🛡️ Daily Loss Circuit Breaker

ARMED

Circuit Breaker: ON

Automatically halts auto-trading if your portfolio drops by the configured % in a single day.

Max Daily Loss % (1–20%)

Default: 5%. If portfolio drops this much in one day, auto-trading pauses immediately and you receive an email alert.

Clears triggered state and resumes auto-trading.

⏱ Max Holding Period

ACTIVE

Max Holding Period: ON

Automatically closes positions that have been held longer than the configured number of trading days. Only counts days when the market was open.

Max Trading Days (1–30)

Default: 5 trading days. Position opened Friday = Day 1, Monday = Day 2, etc.

🏛️ Sector Concentration Guard

ACTIVE

Sector Guard: ON

Blocks new entries when you already hold the maximum number of positions in the same GICS sector. Prevents correlated drawdowns like the Apr 23 event where 4 tech stocks hit stop-loss simultaneously.

Max Positions Per Sector (1–5)

Default: 2. At 2, a sector like Technology can hold NVDA + AMD but will block a 3rd tech entry.

🎯 Entry Filters

ACTIVE

Applied after scoring, before order placement. Reduces false entries by filtering high-noise and counter-trend setups.

Volatility Filter (ATR): ON

Skips stocks where 14-period ATR exceeds the max % of price. Prevents entering high-noise, whipsawing setups.

Max ATR % of Price (1%–15%)

Default: 5%. A stock whose average daily range is ±7% will be skipped at the 5% threshold.

Trend Confirmation (20-EMA): ON

LONG: requires price above 20-EMA. SHORT: requires price below 20-EMA. Blocks momentum spikes reversing against the prevailing trend.

📅 Day-of-Week Controls

OFF

Limit max new positions by day of week. Useful for reducing exposure on historically weak days (e.g. Thursday: −0.44% avg return, 33% win rate). Does not affect existing open positions.

Enable day-of-week position limits: OFF

When ON, the position cap per day overrides the global max positions setting.

Default preset: Mon–Wed = Full (10), Thu = Half (5), Fri = Full (10)

🔔 P&L Drawdown Alerts

Email alert when your portfolio drawdown exceeds the threshold during market hours. Informational only — does not halt trading. Sends at most once every 4 hours.

P&L Alerts: ON

Send an email when intraday drawdown crosses your threshold.

Drawdown threshold 3%

1% (sensitive) 10% (permissive)

🛡️ Orphan Reconciliation

SAFE MODE

When a position exists in the FiveAlpha database but not on Alpaca (or vice versa), the reconciliation system detects the mismatch. Safe Mode (default) sends an email alert and logs the event without changing any positions. Enable auto-close only if you're comfortable with automatic position cleanup.

Auto-Close Orphans: OFF

When OFF (recommended): orphaned positions are logged and you receive an email alert. No positions are auto-closed.
When ON: orphaned DB positions confirmed gone from Alpaca are automatically marked as closed.
