How does this skill save money on crypto trades?

It identifies opportunities to use direct crypto-to-crypto pairs (e.g., ETH/BTC) instead of two-step USD trades, which reduces the total number of transactions and cuts fees by 50%.

What are the risks of using direct crypto-to-crypto pairs?

Key risks include double volatility exposure as both assets move simultaneously, potentially wider spreads, and lower liquidity compared to high-volume USD pairs.

Does Alpaca charge different fee percentages for crypto pairs?

No, Alpaca applies the same maker/taker fee schedule across all pair types. The financial advantage comes solely from reducing the number of trades required to rotate assets.

Can I use this for stablecoin strategies?

Yes, the skill covers USDC and USDT pairs which allow for 'risk-off' moves into stable liquidity without exiting the crypto ecosystem into fiat USD.
