The Ultimate Real-Time Alpaca Account Monitor
Managing multiple trading accounts across different platforms often leads to fragmented data. When you are juggling prop firm challenges alongside personal portfolios, missing a critical drawdown threshold or failing to track floating P&L in real-time can be the difference between passing a phase and losing your funded account.
DeckLive provides a centralized solution by acting as a professional-grade Alpaca account monitor. It aggregates your Alpaca equity, positions, and floating P&L into a single, cloud-hosted dashboard, allowing you to track your performance alongside your other trading accounts without the need for a VPS or complex software installations.
Why not just use your prop firm's own dashboard?
- All your accounts on one screen, not one at a time
- Live updates every few seconds, not a manual refresh
- Telegram and email alerts before you breach a limit
- Each prop firm's rules (Daily DD, Max DD, Profit Target) pre-configured per account
Live Alpaca Performance Tracking
DeckLive connects directly to your Alpaca account using a secure, read-only API key. Unlike post-trade journals that only reflect historical data after the fact, our platform updates every few seconds to provide a true live view of your current balance, equity, and open positions.
Because we utilize read-only API access, your account remains secure. We do not require investor passwords or MetaTrader credentials, ensuring that your trading environment remains independent and strictly monitored for your specific risk management needs.
Unified Dashboard for Prop Firm Traders
Traders managing multiple funded accounts often struggle to maintain visibility across different brokerages. DeckLive allows you to view your Alpaca US stock data alongside your existing prop firm, MetaTrader, and crypto accounts on one screen.
This unified view is essential for traders who need to keep a close eye on their daily drawdown and max drawdown limits. By consolidating your data, you can make informed decisions about your exposure across all your capital sources simultaneously.
Automated Alerts and Notifications
Staying ahead of market volatility requires constant vigilance, but you cannot be at your desk 24/7. DeckLive solves this by delivering automated alerts directly to your Telegram or email.
Whether you are nearing a drawdown limit or need to stay updated on significant position changes, our alert system ensures you are always informed. These notifications provide the peace of mind necessary to manage your trading challenges effectively.
Cloud-Hosted Convenience
Forget the hassle of maintaining a VPS or installing heavy desktop software. DeckLive is entirely cloud-hosted, meaning your dashboard is accessible from any device, anytime, as long as you have an internet connection.
This setup is designed for the modern trader who values efficiency and mobility. Your data is processed in the cloud, ensuring that your monitoring remains active even when your local trading station is offline.
Global Accessibility and Support
We understand that traders operate globally, which is why the DeckLive interface is fully localized in English, Portuguese (PT/BR), and Spanish. We prioritize a clean, professional user experience that focuses on the data that matters most to your trading.
New users can get started with a 7-day free trial, supporting up to 3 accounts. DeckLive is an independent service and is not affiliated with Alpaca or any other broker, ensuring our focus remains entirely on providing you with the best monitoring tools available.

Data sources
The rules and limits cited on this page come from the official rules published by each prop firm (FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers, Funding Pips, The Funded Trader, E8, Topstep, Apex) and from the MetaTrader 4 and 5 platform documentation. The equity, balance, P&L and drawdown values shown in DeckLive are read in real time directly from your MT4/MT5 account — they are not estimates.
