@yokokawa244 I'm impressed by your shipping cadence! This type of real-time data is pretty awesome to see available to anyone for free. Looking forward to what people build with the API. Nice work!
This is cool! @yokokawa244 One of my routines every morning before stock opens is go through various apps looking for data and news :) Are my funds secure with Alpaca?
Awesome! @nazim_m check this out! Which data license system are you bound by? What's the difference between you and players like Polygon.io and IEX? Congrats on the launch btw ;)
@benoit_chambon thank you! We are under the CTA/UTP administration. Alpaca is an API platform that empowers developers to build and execute trading algorithms.
