ZycaAlgo watches every Form 4 filed with the SEC, keeps only the open-market buys that carry real conviction, and mirrors them into your own Alpaca paper account — sized, stopped, and logged automatically.
Most Form 4s aren't signal. Compensation grants, tax-withholding sales, and pre-scheduled plan trades outnumber real conviction buys by roughly 250 to 1 — the pipeline exists to throw the rest away.
We pull SEC's daily Form 4 index continuously and open each one — no sampling, no delay past what EDGAR itself publishes.
Open-market buys only, $100K minimum, filed by an officer or director, and never a pre-scheduled 10b5-1 plan trade.
S&P 500 or NASDAQ-listed, $1B+ market cap, 500K+ average volume. If we can't trade it in size, we don't pretend we can.
2% of equity per name, max 15 open positions, a 15% stop that trails once you're up 15%, and a 90-day exit if nothing happens.
The six positions below are the real result of running the full pipeline against a single session's filings — not a backtest, not a curated example.

Signals are easy to cherry-pick after the fact. This is the actual paper account's equity curve, pulled live from Alpaca every time this page loads.
Reading the log…
Nothing gets cleaned up after the fact. Skipped signals stay in the log with the exact reason they were rejected.
Both modes run the same pipeline. The difference is whether it stops at a report, or reaches into your own paper account. ZycaAlgo is a research project — everything here is free, and nothing charges you anything.
