      Hello, Backtrader community. First-time poster here. I'm still familiarizing myself with Backtrader and its capabilities; I'm a software engineer, so I'm comfortable looking through the Python source code.

      I'm wondering what the community's experience has been with the TD Ameritrade API - if there's been any attempts to add TDA as a supported broker. I understand that, since TDA doesn't expose its PaperMoney service through its API, it doesn't have a lot of value as a practice tool. However, it seems like there's no reason it couldn't be added for live trading.
