Fresh Alpaca equities paper book at $100k. Public desk is equities-only; sleeve mix reset to the live target weights.
Public desk reset. The live paper book is Alpaca equities only, starting at $100,000 on 1 Aug 2026. Prior paper history is retired for public messaging.
Markets
Quiet summer tape into the new account. Initial equity sleeve buys were staged as day orders and fill at the next US equity open — NAV may sit near cash until then.
Book
Paper capital only. Single Alpaca practice account. NAV, sleeve weights, and fills are on Live Paper. Target mix (of Alpaca equity):
| Sleeve | Alloc |
|---|---|
| PEAD | 45% |
| Equity momentum | 30% |
| Risk parity | 20% |
| VIX reversion | 5% |
Plain-English cards stay on Strategies.
Risks / next week
Fresh curve — YTD risk metrics stay blank until there is enough history. Treat paper fills as optimistic. Watch the first invested marks after the open.
