Support for IB live?

[fimmugit]

Hello,

I just installed zipline-trader in python 3.6 env. I see ZT has alpaca api but nothing for IB. Your doc hints to support IB live trading. Is this true or just a plan?

Sincerely,

fimmu

I downloaded a zip file from the repository and unzipped it in my download folder when I run the pip install -e . command. After a while, it said zipline-trader was installed sucessfully. However, zipline and a few others were still in the download folder with an egg.link poined from the site-package folder in my env. Did I do something wrong? Any suggestion for installation for Windows?

As for the IB question I posted above, I did see a IB test script in the test folder.

Hi.
A Broker is used for 2 things:

1. Get data for ingestion
2. Trading

For Trading there is an implementation for both Alapca and IB
For data, we only use the FREE data source from Alpaca

For installation follow one of the options here: https://zipline-trader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html

Hi, Shlomi: Thanks for the help. I now have the trader inside site-package folder and zipline inside the trader folder. Is this expected? Best regards

Hi, Shlomi: I am trying to setup the postgres backend to run the scripts you gave in the doc and having connection issue. Would you mind to point me to a good place where I can find support to set up the backend correctly? Thank you very much for your help in my process of moving from zipline to ZT. Happy holiday! Sean
