Brokerage services are provided to customers who can write automated investment code and self-direct their own investments. Alpaca brokerage services are only provided to customers who agree to electronically sign agreements and agree to receive messages, confirmations, and statements electronically. Is Alpaca right for me?

Alpaca does not warrant against loss of use or any direct, indirect or consequential damages or losses to you caused by your assent, expressed or implied, to a third party accessing your account or information, including access provided through any other third party apps, systems, or sites.
Market prices, data and other information available through Alpaca are not warranted as to completeness or accuracy and are subject to change without notice. System response and account access times may vary due to a variety of factors, including trading volumes, market conditions, system performance, and other factors.

All investments involve risk and the past performance of a security, or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. Keep in mind that while diversification may help spread risk it does not assure a profit, or protect against loss, in a down market. There is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities, or other financial products. Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing.
There are risks unique to automated trading algorithms that you should know about and plan for. You should setup a method or system of continuous monitoring or alerting to let you know if there is a mechanical failure, such as connectivity issues, power loss, a computer crash, or system quirk. You should also monitor for instances where your automated trading system experiences anomalies that could result in errant, missing, or duplicated orders. A more complete description of these and other risks can be found in our FAQ section.
ETFs can entail risks similar to direct stock ownership, including market, sector, or industry risks. Some ETFs may involve international risk, currency risk, commodity risk, and interest rate risk. Trading prices may not reflect the net asset value of the underlying securities.
All accounts are opened as limited purpose margin accounts. You should know that margin trading involves interest charges and risks, including the potential to lose more than deposited or the need to deposit additional collateral in a falling market. Before using margin, customers must determine whether this type of trading strategy is right for them given their specific investment objectives, experience, risk tolerance, and financial situation. For more information please see Alpaca's Margin Disclosure Statement and Margin Agreement. These disclosures contain information on Alpaca Securities's lending policies, interest charges, and the risks associated with margin accounts.
Commission-Free trading means that there are no commission charges for Alpaca Securities self-directed individual brokerage accounts that trade U.S. listed securities through an API. Relevant regulatory fees may apply.
Cryptocurrency is highly speculative in nature, involves a high degree of risks, such as volatile market price swings, market manipulation, flash crashes, and cybersecurity risks. Cryptocurrency is not regulated or is lightly regulated in most countries. Cryptocurrency trading can lead to large, immediate and permanent loss of financial value. You should have appropriate knowledge and experience before engaging in cryptocurrency trading. For additional information please click here.

I believe the current state is that for a live account only a single algorithm can be run. Curious if that limitation and general features around the management of running mutiple strategies simultaneously were being considered? For example, order management if several live strategies were trading the same symbol, etc..
Hi Jason, you can run multiple algorithms live but only one per brokerage account. If you ask for a sub account at the brokerage all the order fill events are separated amd its safe to deploy a second algorithm.
Has anyone else hit this wall and perhaps found an alternative? Of course, one option is to create new accounts but then the exchange and other account fees would be charged on each account which is not the case with sub accounts.
Hi Jared,
I'd like to use a single 'master' brokerage account but allocate each algorithm to a sub-account. Is my understanding correct that this should be possible, based on your earlier comment in June 2017 in this thread?

Hi Alexandre, the feature that Ernest requested is to allow virtual sub-accounts (managed client side) that run on a single master account at the exchange, whereas the implemented feature is the opposite that allows running same strategy on multiple sub-accounts at the exchange.
Note that we may have FA user sub-accounts (one account per user) and strategy sub-accounts (one account per algorithm) both of them map to the same master account. This will allow managing ownership of multiple users (slices) on a single master account (the pie) as well as diversifying strategies by allocating multiple algorithms to run on the same master account (all users benefitting from the diversification from all the strategies). I think this would be a very useful feature to add to QuantConnect. I also tag Jared Broad here for comment.
Thank you for the detailed reply Omid; it is a new feature I'd be happy to research and see how much it would take to implement. I'll reach out separately and schedule a time for a call to discuss further.
This feature already exists IMO. You can have multiple alphas in a framework algorithm that all emit signals. Just use a portfolio construction model that aggregates all the signals into one and make your trades based on that. I use that to live trade 3 strategies in one algorithm on IB myself.
My students and I work broadly on computational approaches to human language. Our high-level agenda is here.
- Computer scientists should look at our new algorithms and machine learning methods.
Computational linguists may be more interested in our formal and statistical models of language.
Natural language engineers will be interested in the varied NLP problems that we've tackled with these methods, including educational technology. We're developing Dyna, a beautiful high-level programming language, to facilitate all of the above.
Also listed here are supervised dissertations, some invited talks, talk videos, patents, edited volumes, and teaching papers.
Natural language problems often demand new algorithms. The main challenges are
- a combinatorially large discrete space of linguistic structures
a high-dimensional continuous space of statistical parameters
Dynamic programming is extremely useful for analyzing sequence data. The papers below introduce novel dynamic programming algorithms (primarily for parsing and machine translation). Other cool papers, not listed below, show how dynamic programming algorithms can be embedded as efficient subroutines within variational inference (belief propagation), relaxation (dual decomposition, row generation), and large-neighborhood local search.
"Deep learning" usually refers to the use of multi-layer neural networks to model functions or probability distributions. The advantage of these highly parametric models is that they are expressive enough to fit a wide range of real-world phenomena. We have been particularly interested in combining deep learning with graphical models and other approaches to structured prediction, in order to marry the flexibility of deep learning with the insight of domain-specific modeling. Deep architectures for NLP typically include parameters for vector embeddings of words, which is an important subtopic.
