About Auto Trade

Auto Trade is an automated trading platform designed to help traders capitalize on leveraged ETF movements using proven technical analysis strategies.

Our Mission

We believe that sophisticated trading strategies should be accessible to everyone. Our mission is to democratize algorithmic trading by providing a user-friendly platform that automates complex technical analysis and trade execution.

What We Offer

  • Two Trading Strategies: Choose between aggressive (TQQQ/SQQQ) or conservative (TQQQ/Cash) approaches based on your risk tolerance
  • Technical Indicators: Automated trading based on 50-day SMA, VIX filters, and momentum signals
  • Built-in Safety Features: No-trade bands, VIX filters, and holding period limits to protect your capital
  • Paper Trading: Test strategies risk-free with Alpaca's paper trading environment
  • Strategy Backtesting: Analyze historical performance before committing real capital
  • Signal History: Full transparency on every trading signal and decision

How It Works

Our platform integrates with Alpaca Markets, a commission-free trading platform that offers both paper (simulated) and live trading. Here's how we operate:

  1. We analyze QQQ (Nasdaq-100 ETF) daily price movements and technical indicators
  2. Our algorithm generates trading signals based on proven technical analysis rules
  3. Signals are automatically executed through your Alpaca account at market open
  4. You maintain full control and can disable automation at any time

Technology Stack

Built with modern web technologies including Next.js, React, TypeScript, and integrated with Alpaca's trading API. Our platform is hosted on Vercel for reliable, fast performance.

Security & Fund Safety

Your Funds Are 100% Safe

Auto Trade cannot access or withdraw your money. Here's how we ensure your financial security:

  • •We only have permission to buy and sell TQQQ and SQQQ - nothing else
  • •We cannot withdraw, transfer, or access your cash in any way
  • •Only you can withdraw money through the Alpaca Markets platform
  • •You can revoke our trading access anytime through your Alpaca dashboard

This is a core security feature of Alpaca's API - no third-party app can ever access your funds for withdrawal.

Risk Disclaimer

Trading leveraged ETFs involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. TQQQ and SQQQ are 3x leveraged ETFs that amplify both gains and losses. You should only trade with capital you can afford to lose and fully understand the risks involved.
