- How does copy trading on Alpaca Paper work?
- Connect your Alpaca Paper account through SnapTrade, follow a creator on Artha, and every trade they place gets prepared as a brokerage order you can approve with one tap, or sent as a push notification on the Signals tier. You stay in full control — pause, cancel, or change tiers any time.
- Is connecting Alpaca Paper to Artha safe?
- Yes. Artha never sees your Alpaca Paper password. All access runs through SnapTrade's read/trade tokens, which you can revoke from your brokerage at any time. We never move money between accounts — trades execute inside your own Alpaca Paper login.
- Will the Pro desk work on my Alpaca Paper account?
- Yes. Alpaca Paper supports order placement through SnapTrade, so Pro desk subscribers get each trade prepared as an order they approve before it routes to Alpaca Paper. Cash, options, and equity orders all route through your existing Alpaca Paper login.
- What does Alpaca Paper copy trading cost on Artha?
- Artha is free to install. Subscriptions to creators range from free (alerts only) to whatever the creator prices their Pro desk tier at — typically $20–$200/month. Artha takes a 15% platform fee from creator earnings; you only pay the creator's listed subscription.
