PutHouse is an automated options platform that implements income strategies such as covered call and cash-secured put, managing the process from entry to exit without requiring manual order placement.
Instead of manually screening contracts, calculating risk, and placing trades, PutHouse automates screening and trade execution strategy through Alpaca’s Trading and Market API, so users can stay invested in stocks and potentially generate options income.
Options involve substantial risk and are not suitable for all investors. Covered call and cash-secured put strategies can result in losses, including the loss of principal. Please read Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before investing in options.
Automated Options Trading Execution
Using Alpaca's APIs and predefined risk-management parameters, PutHouse handles execution automatically, helping investors generate options premium income without needing to manually trade every day.
With a covered call strategy, investors can earn upfront income (the premium). In return, they agree to limit some of the stock’s upside if the share price rises above the option’s strike price.
PutHouse evaluates predefined strategies and market inputs using either preset modes or user-defined criteria. The platform also provides AI-generated explanations as a supplemental tool, helping users understand why a trade was placed or skipped and the market context behind each decision.
AI-generated outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any investment decision.
Earn 3.30% APY on Eligible Uninvested Cash
For uninvested cash, users may earn interest through Alpaca's High Yield Cash program*, which currently offers an APY of 3.30%.
APY is current as of November 4, 2025, variable, and subject to change without notice. Eligibility requirements apply. Cash used to meet option requirements is not eligible for the program. FDIC insurance coverage is subject to applicable program terms and conditions.
Systematic Risk Management
PutHouse leverages Alpaca’s Trading API to automatically size trades, place orders, and evaluate factors such as volatility risk premium, relative strength index, and upcoming earnings and corporate events. These parameters are available through preset trading modes and may be customized to align with a user’s investment objectives and risk preferences.
Why Alpaca is the Underlying Infrastructure
PutHouse chose Alpaca because automation requires more than a brokerage account. It requires reliable technology infrastructure, stocks and options data, and account permissions that support a fully automated experience.
Alpaca provides the infrastructure to connect to user accounts, analyze market data and strategy parameters, and place trades programmatically. This allows PutHouse to focus on the user experience and simplify options trading for investors.

*Alpaca Securities offers a cash management program pursuant to the FDIC Bank Sweep. Customer funds are treated differently and are subject to separate regulatory regimes depending on whether customer funds are held in their brokerage account or within the FDIC Bank Sweep. Alpaca Securities is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which protects securities customers of its members up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for claims for cash). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures up to $250,000 per deposit against the failure of an FDIC member bank. Customer funds held in brokerage accounts are SIPC insured, but are not eligible for FDIC insurance coverage. Funds maintained in the FDIC Bank Sweep are intended to be eligible for pass-through FDIC insurance coverage but are not covered by SIPC. FDIC insurance does not protect against the failure of Alpaca, Alpaca Securities, or their affiliates, nor against malfeasance by their employees. Program banks that participate in the FDIC Bank Sweep are not members of SIPC, and therefore, funds held in the Program are not SIPC protected.
