Sell stocks automatically with Alpaca when prices rise
How this automation works
Place an Alpaca market order automatically when a Kalshi market's YES price crosses your threshold. The Applet runs whenever the Kalshi trigger detects the YES price crossing the percentage you set and it submits a market order on Alpaca using the symbol, side, and quantity you configure. This is useful for traders who want to react instantly to event-driven moves on Kalshi by executing trades through Alpaca, such as taking positions on political or sports markets.
