OSCR Paper OnlyUnderstand the setup.
Control the risk.
OSCR brings account access, strategy research, bot configuration and protective monitoring into one workspace.
First time here? Start on a Mac or Windows desktop or laptop. A larger screen makes Alpaca account setup and your first OSCR connection easier.
OPERATIONAL STRATEGY, CONTROL & RISK
02 · CONFIGURE
Your own bot workspace.
Save an asset, timeframe, strategy, exit plan, risk ceiling and schedule in a user-owned draft.
03 · CONNECT
Your own Paper account.
Account connection is separate from bot activation. The operator’s broker account is never a substitute for a student’s account.
YOUR FIRST RUN · DESKTOP RECOMMENDED
Set Up on Your Mac or Windows PC
Use a desktop or laptop for your first sign-in, Alpaca setup and Paper account connection. OSCR opens in your web browser; these steps do not require a separate OSCR desktop app.

Set Up and Connect Your Own Alpaca Paper Account
In OSCR, open Account. Use Create Alpaca Account or I Already Have an Account to open Alpaca, select Paper Trading, and follow OSCR’s Paper API-key connection instructions. Enter your own Paper keys directly into OSCR; do not email passwords, keys or secrets. Account connection and bot trading authorization are separate steps.
After desktop setup, you can add a phone or another computer using the invitation’s device instructions. Each device requires its own authorization. Real-money trading remains off.
What is available today
Approved participants can connect their own Alpaca Paper accounts, configure bots and view market scanning, account activity, positions, performance and alerts. Learning simulations and strategy research are also available.
Connecting an account and scanning the market do not authorize orders. Paper execution requires separate authorization; broader automated deployment remains in preparation. Direct Alpaca OAuth connection is awaiting resolution of a technical issue.
No real-money trading is enabled. Paper and modeled outcomes do not predict future performance.
Private Access Stays Private.
This public introduction and access request page does not collect broker credentials. Approved participants receive setup instructions for the private pilot. A simpler public sign-in path is being prepared.
