Alpaca Real-Time Market Data Streaming Pipeline for Algorithmic Trading
Pain Points (Public)
Automated and AI-driven trading systems often have functional strategy calculations and order execution routing, but lack low-latency market data feeds. Without reliable streaming of live quotes, trades, and aggregate bars via Alpaca's WebSocket API, trading algorithms cannot react in real time or accurately trigger order execution.
Suggested Approach (Public)
Build a resilient, event-driven data ingestion pipeline that subscribes to Alpaca's real-time WebSocket market data stream, parses incoming trades and quotes, and dispatches normalized market events directly to strategy decision modules with auto-reconnection and heartbeat monitoring.
