Take Advantage of These Exclusive Perks

Elite Smart Router (Commission Applies):

Elite Smart Router is an institutional-grade electronic trading strategy offering cost-effective solutions with higher API limits and premium order types. For example, Alpaca will try to access dark and non-displayed liquidity before crossing the spread on marketable orders.

You have two pricing options to choose from, each tailored to provide a cost-effective solution that suits your trading strategy.

  1. All-In Plan: A straightforward, predictable cost structure at $0.0040 per share, encompassing all potential fees and rebates (not including regulatory fees).

  2. Cost Plus Plan: Exchange fees or rebates are directly passed back to you. Alpaca will charge $0.0025 or lower with volume tiering as a commission on top of your pass-through fees or rebates. Depending on your order flows, you may receive rebates that can offset the Alpaca commission to lower your overall trading cost.

Lower Margin Rate:

Enjoy lower margin rate (benchmark* plus 1.5%) to maximize your returns. It is a reduced rate from benchmark plus 3.0%. *benchmark refers to the Fed Funds Rate

White-Glove Account Support:

High-touch account management support to help you streamline operational efficiency. Get access to a team of experts in Risk, Compliance, Corporate Actions, Clearing, and more, who understand the nuances of high-stakes trading.
