Session 1:
Alpaca will guide you through building an AI-powered trading agent connected to real market data and paper trading workflows. You’ll learn how AI agents can analyze markets, generate trade ideas, query market data using natural language, and execute automated workflows. We’ll kick things off with a live demo, then help you build your own working AI trading agent in a paper trading environment.

Session 2:
MachineTrader will show how to take a trading idea and turn it into a live automated system running on your own private server. Using AI-generated logic and MachineTrader’s visual drag-and-drop interface, we’ll walk through building and deploying a bearish options strategy (a bear put spread) end-to-end, from identifying the setup and structuring the trade to broker execution and live position monitoring.
Bring your laptop.
You’ll leave with working systems you built yourself.
Perfect for developers, traders, and builders exploring AI, automation, and real-world trading infrastructure.
