      Hi folks,
      I'm relatively new to the algo trading space. I've started dabbling with BackTrader + Alpaca data and it's so powerful!

      I would really prefer to work with futures trading and was wondering if anyone has experience with BackTrader mixed with some other trading APIs/data APIs for futures?

      I saw TradeStation has trading API's for futures. Does it mix well with BackTrader? Any other services that are strong?

      Anyone looking for a partner to work on Algo trading?
