Illustrative catalog range — not a forecast. Run profitability validation in the wizard before live. How profitability works
Buys when the fast moving average crosses above the slow MA (golden cross) and sells on a death cross. Works on any Alpaca-supported symbol: AAPL, SPY, QQQ, etc.
Fetches daily candles, computes fast (9d) and slow (21d) SMAs, and fires market orders on crossover events via the Alpaca paper or live API.
