What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the need for manual CLI commands or external hosted tools to view your paper trading portfolio, activity, and configuration, providing a secure, local interface that keeps your trading data on your machine by default.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Local-first dashboard: A single static HTML page that builds itself from local trading state (tick snapshots, configs, pool) via the File System Access API, with no Alpaca credentials required for core functionality.
- Five functional tabs: Portfolio (equity, cash, positions, unrealized P/L, equity sparkline), Activity (filterable trade history by timeframe and symbol), Configuration (browser-side editing of strategy tunables, user preferences, and schedule cadence), Pool (view curated ticker list), and Market intel (optional Alpaca news for pool tickers, congressional trade deep-links).
- Use Case: A paper trader can quickly check their daily P/L, review recent trade actions from their strategies, adjust profit take thresholds or cooldown settings, and view relevant market news for their holdings without exposing API keys to the browser by default.
Quick Start
Use the dashboard skill to open your local paper trading dashboard in your default browser to view your portfolio, recent activity, and edit your trading configurations.
