There is nothing preventing a data feed (or broker) from using websockets.

Receiving from a websocket implies (like for example the IB and Oanda stores do) running in a background thread where the server listening for notifications is active, thread which pumps the data to the queues on which the main thread sits waiting for data.

Websocket would make backtrader more awesome! And it would be of great help if someone could help provide some working examples.
