How Kerdoos hunts

Three steps, repeated relentlessly, every trading session.

  1. 1

    Scan

    Live market data streams in from Alpaca. Kerdoos screens thousands of symbols against your strategies' entry conditions — price action, volume, volatility, momentum.

  2. 2

    Strike

    When a setup qualifies, orders are sized to your risk rules and placed in milliseconds — with the stop-loss and take-profit attached before the fill confirms.

  3. 3

    Secure

    Positions are managed to exit: trailing stops lock in gains, drawdown limits cut losers, and every result feeds back into the strategy's performance record.

Κερδῷος

"Kerdoos — the gainful one — was the epithet the Greeks gave Hermes as god of trade, luck, and profit. Merchants prayed to him for a cunning edge in the market."

Twenty-eight centuries later, the market is electronic. The prayer is an algorithm.

Questions, answered

The market never sleeps. Neither does Hermes.

Connect your Alpaca keys, pick a strategy, and let Kerdoos hunt for cunning gain — starting in paper mode, free.
