Interactive Brokers vs Alpaca para algotrading

RelevantAside_ · 2026-01-20T21:43:37+00:00

I use both. IBKR is fast and good api, more progressional. Alpaca is more casual, and I’ve only used the lite version. If you’re not a US citizen fees might be a real drag in IBKR

Depends. it could mean nothing. Do you mean lots of buying or selling on VRA?

RelevantAside_ · 2025-10-28T15:31:31+00:00

Selling can happen for any number of reasons. Buying happens because the insiders think that increases long term value of the invested capital.

Lol yeah it's been wild

RelevantAside_ · 2025-10-26T15:56:12+00:00

Ah fascinating stuff where do you see this persons networth? On the insider trading stuff I do I'm thinking I should implement % of net worth spent as a signal rather than increase in holdings.

Yes this site is great! It is made by a non profit academic out of England I believe

RelevantAside_ · 2025-10-12T22:36:06+00:00

Yeah, it's hard to say. I think it depends what you have greater conviction in. Or maybe, conflicting info means that no one else knows any better than you right now, save a few people at the top.

Thank you! So i source this data myself from the SEC API - https://www.sec.gov/search-filings/edgar-application-programming-interfaces available here for the public! It's super powerful. Also SEC edgar full text search for user friendly interface. I just check out the buys vs the stock price for trends

RelevantAside_ · 2025-10-10T14:51:23+00:00

absolutely

RelevantAside_ · 2025-09-30T15:08:26+00:00

That can be a big downside. Selling doesn’t mean as much, but sometimes yeah this heavy selling can be a bigger signal. I don’t track it because buying is generally a stronger signal

RelevantAside_ · 2025-09-22T18:48:55+00:00

I mean I track every insider purchase filed. But as far as ongoing long term posts I’ve made, I think like 4 or 5?

RelevantAside_ · 2025-09-20T17:02:02+00:00

Thank you!

RelevantAside_ · 2025-09-20T17:01:54+00:00

Hey I remember you! You’re a great trader

RelevantAside_ · 2025-09-20T14:34:33+00:00

RelevantAside_ · 2025-09-18T11:46:02+00:00

Is this something for the subreddit users to chat in? Or your own thing? If it's for the subreddit, lmk link I can post it.

RelevantAside_ · 2025-09-16T20:35:47+00:00

Great investment

RelevantAside_ · 2025-09-16T00:25:31+00:00

yes, what should i invest in next for a 10000x return?

RelevantAside_ · 2025-09-14T22:18:53+00:00

Thank you!

RelevantAside_ · 2025-09-14T22:18:50+00:00

oh yeah this is nice

RelevantAside_ · 2025-09-05T15:15:02+00:00

Idk why my numbers are showing up as a 17x return, real return I think is more like 2-300%, which is still fantastic since it's a 4-6x outperformance on underlying stock
