Problem

Running an automated strategy across both crypto and equities means talking to two very different venues. Crypto.com and Alpaca expose separate APIs, order models and risk surfaces. Meridian was the automation step in the build record — one engine that executes across both markets under a single, consistent set of rules.

Approach

Meridian is a single execution engine built in Python, sitting over the REST and WebSocket APIs of both Crypto.com and Alpaca. Strategy parameters are configurable rather than hard-coded, so behaviour is tuned through configuration instead of rewrites. Order logic is automated, and risk limits are enforced across both venues. The engine was published open-source for public review.

What it does

Bridges Crypto.com and Alpaca behind one execution engine
Runs configurable strategy parameters
Handles automated order logic
Enforces risk limits across crypto and equities

Outcome

Meridian shipped as a live, open-source project, published for public review — the point at which the build record moved from commerce and BI into automated execution.
