# What is HawkAlpha?

HawkAlpha provides users their own VPS (virtual private server), allowing them to link to their broker account via API, and configure their bots based on their budget, risk level, and target return.&#x20;

HawkAlpha currently supports Alpaca, a commission-free and API-friendly broker that provides market data and margin trading.&#x20;

HawkAlpha aims to provide an alternative and simple way to trade stocks without spending hours on research, analysis, and execution.
