What Alpaca Paper Trading does in ChatGPT
The Alpaca Paper Trading plugin connects ChatGPT to your Alpaca paper trading account, which uses pretend money. Through Alpaca's trading and market data services you can place simulated trades in stocks, ETFs, options and crypto, follow your positions, look at market trends and manage the account in plain words.
It is a way to practice or test ideas without risking real funds. You can ask how your paper equity moved over the past month and which positions drove it, cancel open orders, close positions or check the day's biggest gainers and losers with a short summary of why they moved.
Alpaca says its paper trading uses simulated funds and does not trade real securities. It also says anything the plugin produces is for education and information, not investment advice, that options carry high risk, and that the service is not offered where Alpaca is not authorized.
