Whether you're clicking buys or running a Python bot, Alpaca fills look the same to Gecko. Connect read-only and Gecko names, in dollars, the behavioral patterns costing you money — then coaches you through them every day.
Alpaca name and marks belong to their respective owners. Gecko is independent and not endorsed by, sponsored by, or affiliated with Alpaca.
Alpaca is popular with algorithmic and API-first traders, and SnapTrade reads both paper- and live-account activity the same way — trades come through as fills with side, quantity, and price. Bot-driven size creep, revenge-loop kicks after a losing day, and overfitting-to-recency bias leave the same behavioral fingerprints in an automated account as a manual one — Gecko reads them either way.

The output is a behavioral diagnosis — the patterns costing you money, named in dollars, across twelve axes. Then a daily coaching loop that keeps the diagnosis in front of you so the leaks close over weeks, not disappear from memory over days.
Connect once via SnapTrade. New Alpaca trades flow into Gecko automatically on Pro and Unlimited. Statement upload stays available on every plan as the always-works fallback.
After-loss tilt, revenge re-entry, overtrading, hold-time discipline, size discipline, and more — each measured against your own baseline, each named in dollars.
The moment a losing Alpaca trade closes, Gecko detects the tilt window opening and pushes an alert to your phone — before the revenge trade, not after.
Pre-market briefing keyed off your data, end-of-day check-in with mood + rule + journal, plan-adherence score, mood × performance correlation, AI-written Monday recap email.
Retail AI adoption jumped from 13 to 19 percent in a year, but AI models call next-day direction only in the mid-50s percent and general chatbots do not reliably beat the market. The edge retail was missing was never analysis — it was behavior: sizing, tilt, overtrading, holding losers. AI can sharpen the strategy, and often makes the behavior worse by outsourcing conviction, multiplying action, and flattering overconfidence. The one thing it cannot fix is the person holding the mouse.
Industry data: only about 7 percent of people who buy a prop firm challenge ever receive a payout. The reported reasons aren't bad signals — they're oversizing, overtrading, tilt, and consistency violations. We read the evaluation rules as a behavioral exam: daily loss limit catches tilt, trailing drawdown catches giving back gains, consistency clause catches gambling, profit target + clock catches impatience. Then we map each rule to a data fingerprint you can measure before you pay another fee.
Classic trading sayings stamped with verdicts of real edge, warning, partial, and myth. From 'cut your losses' (real edge, backed by Odean's disposition-effect work) to 'no one ever went broke taking a profit' (myth, the comforting one that does the quiet damage). Every proverb tested against the academic research and against the behaviors Gecko measures in your own trades.
