You already have an Alpaca account. You already want AI in the loop. You don't want to host Python, manage a VPS, or debug websocket disconnects at 3am. Thesis is the turnkey layer: paste your Alpaca keys, pick a plan, we do the pattern detection, AI reasoning, and order routing.
Email + password or Google. No credit card for the Free tier.
Paper or live — both work. Keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they touch our database, using a master key held in Azure Key Vault. You can rotate or revoke anytime from the Alpaca dashboard; we re-validate on every connection.
Manual (you click to trade), Copilot (AI suggests, you approve), or Autopilot (AI decides and trades hands-off). Switch anytime.
The Alpaca API is developer-friendly. Wiring up a bot that actually works in production is still mostly plumbing. You skip all of it:
/v2/positions
every 60 seconds so the UI never drifts from the broker truth.Your account stays under your control the whole time. We never move funds. Orders flow from us to Alpaca; fills flow back. Your money, your brokerage, SIPC-insured.
Alpaca's paper API mirrors their live API with simulated funds. Connect a paper key first, watch a few trades, confirm the mode you picked behaves the way you expected. When you're ready, swap in a live key — the same product, the same risk plumbing, real orders.
No custody, no hosting, no 3am websocket pages.
