Does Wealth-Lab with the integrated Alpaca interface allow both a real money and a paper trade account to be active and trading in Strategy Monitor ?
Rename
No, not simultaneously. But that’s a good idea. Perhaps an enhancement could expose two broker providers in the Alpaca extension 🤔
Thanks for considering this. I am finding that different brokers provide substantially different fill prices.
It would be helpful to be running multiple brokers, to find what mix of broker / market / limit orders work best.

I have seen some posts regarding running up to two computers per WL license. Can I run the paper trading Alpaca account on one computer, and the real money Alpaca account on the other ?
It shouldn't be problem if you're using different machines. Just give it a try. Install Wealth-Lab and download your license from the Help menu.

QUOTE:Add your vote for Market On Open (MOO) orders. No slippage here - you get opening price on the the primary market, which is the Open shown in Wealth-Data.
