A position gets allocated to your paper trading strategy in AlphaInsider the moment a text comes through Mobile Message, without you needing to open a dashboard and enter it yourself. That's the practical value of linking the two through Zapier, since AlphaInsider is built around tracking strategy performance and this connection gives you a text based way to feed new order allocations into it.

Whether you're running one strategy or several, the same setup applies each time. A text arrives, a Zap sends it through as a new order allocation, and the allocation shows up against the strategy you've set it up for inside AlphaInsider, ready to track alongside your other paper trading positions. Since AlphaInsider also allows a broader API call for anything outside a standard allocation, the connection can be adjusted for cases beyond a straightforward order, all while the trading itself stays on paper rather than touching real money.
