Your Alpaca keys, your machine. Practice in paper mode or trade live — Trade Studio runs entirely on your own computer.
A desktop trading bot for macOS and Windows that runs on your computer and trades your Alpaca account — no servers, no sign-up, no data leaving your machine.
Trade Studio watches the market with a set of classic, transparent statistical signals — Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD and volume on intraday candles. No AI black box, no hype: just rules you can reason about. When the signals line up, it places trades through your own Alpaca brokerage account and manages them with stop-losses and take-profits.
It's built to keep you in control. The bot boots paused, you can practice risk-free in paper mode for as long as you like, and your API keys are stored only on your machine — Trade Studio has no server and never sees your credentials. It's a tool, not a money machine.
From download to running bot in a few minutes.
One-click installer, no admin needed. Adds a desktop shortcut.
Sign up free at alpaca.markets and generate your API keys (paper or live).
Drop your keys into the setup wizard — it verifies them read-only before saving.
The bot runs in your system tray and trades for you. Pause anytime.
No servers, no account, no cloud. Your API keys are stored only on your computer.

No. Your keys are saved only on your own machine (in your local app folder). There's no Trade Studio server and nothing is uploaded anywhere.
There are no guarantees. Trade Studio is a tool that runs a rules-based strategy — it is not financial advice and not a money machine. Trading carries real risk of loss. Start in paper mode.
A Mac (macOS) or a Windows 10/11 PC, plus a free Alpaca account. That's it — no Python, no setup beyond pasting your keys.
Yes — the download button always serves the latest release, so you never grab an old build. After installing, Trade Studio also auto-updates itself from inside the app.
The builds are currently unsigned, so your OS warns you on first launch. On macOS: right-click (or Control-click) the app → Open → confirm. On Windows: if SmartScreen appears, click More info → Run anyway. You only need to do this once.
Yes. Live mode places real orders with your real funds and can lose money. It's gated behind an explicit confirmation. Practice in paper mode first.
Pause it from the dashboard at any time, or quit entirely from the system-tray icon.
Free download for macOS & Windows — paper trading is free forever. The buttons always grab the latest release, so you're never out of date.
