Alta5
Alta5 is the technology brand of Option Alpha, LLC, a St. Petersburg, Florida company (founded 2010) that operates optionalpha.com, a no-code automated options-and-stock trading platform for retail traders. Users build "bots" from natural-language recipes that discover, backtest, and automate trading strategies, then connect a brokerage account (TradeStation, Tradier, Charles Schwab, tastytrade) so bots submit trades through the broker's API. Option Alpha does not publish a general-purpose public REST API; its only programmatic integration surface is inbound trigger Webhooks, which let external platforms such as TradingView, TrendSpider, and Zapier fire bot automations from custom signals and indicators. Alta5 was added to the API Evangelist network as a 500 Global portfolio company.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Alta5 the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Alta5 scores 32.1/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 14/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Alta5
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Alta5. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Event Specifications 1
Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

ASYNCAPISecurity Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
