As we learned our investing strategy required automation to be
effective, we went searching for a highly accessible and
highly-rated platform to meet our needs. Our prior broker did not
offer automated trading capability; this was what brought us to
Alpaca. While the functionality of the platform for rapid
execution and easy interface has been great, I have especially
appreciated the responsiveness and personal attention the Alpaca
team has offered to meet our needs. I look forward to growing with
them in years to come.
