How was this list created?
All 12,500+ tradeable Alpaca assets were filtered using the following criteria:
- S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 components only — the most established and liquid US stocks
- High daily trading volume (>1M shares average) — ensures reliable market order fills with minimal slippage
- Price range $20–$500 — ideal for DCA position sizing with base orders + up to 5 safety orders
- Mid to large cap ($2B+ market cap) — stable mean reversion behavior, less prone to overnight gaps
- No biotech, SPACs, meme stocks, or penny stocks — avoids binary events and extreme volatility that breaks mean reversion
- All major sectors covered for diversification

Recommended Settings
These settings work well for the stock watchlist on the daily timeframe:
- Execution Platform: Blockresearch
- Base Order Size: $50–$200 (depending on your account size)
- Max Safety Trade Count: 3–5
- Safety Order Volume Scale: 1.5
- Take Profit: 5%
- Max Active Deals: 3–5 (configured in SignalPipe Settings)
Account Size
With the default settings (base order $100, 3 safety orders at 1.5x scale, 5% TP), each trading pair requires approximately $700 to fully fund all safety orders.
With a $5,000 account and max 5 active deals, you have enough capital to handle all safety orders across all positions simultaneously. A more conservative approach with 3 active deals would require approximately $2,100 in total.
