In detail

Built for Alpaca users who do not want to build their own bot

Most people who sign up for Alpaca have one goal: automate their trading. Most of them never finish a working strategy. Building, testing, deploying, monitoring, and improving an algorithmic trading system is a full-time job. Caliber Engine eliminates that work entirely. The engine has the strategy. You connect Alpaca. The engine trades.

Powered by Anthropic Claude, Caliber Engine reads market regime, evaluates probability, sizes positions to a defined risk profile, and manages exits with mechanical discipline. Every outcome is logged. The engine's next decision benefits from the last one. You can start with Alpaca's free paper trading environment to watch it work, then flip to a live account when the results convince you.

Caliber Engine focuses on US equities and ETFs through Alpaca. The engine respects whatever capital limits and risk parameters you configure — no exceptions.
