I don't see how i'm exceeding 200 requests per minute. There must be something wrong with this thing. Does no one trade live with it?

Original post we are commenting on lol

I'm getting the error when live paper trading (not backtesting)

@mudassar031 said in TimeFrame.Days works but TimeFrame.Minutes doesn't:

if not alpaca_paper:
broker = store.getbroker() # or just alpaca_backtrader_api.AlpacaBroker()
cerebro.setbroker(broker)

this part confuses me:

if not alpaca_paper:
  broker = store.getbroker()  # or just alpaca_backtrader_api.AlpacaBroker()
  cerebro.setbroker(broker)

Wouldn't it be if alpaca_paper is True? Because you use Alpaca Broker for live, not backtest right?

I can get it working if I do it this way, but it's not using my Alpaca paper trade account.

@mudassar031 When I changed historical and got rid of todate it did run without the error though! That's a first for me using minutes.

@mudassar031 If that's supposed to be run live, why do you have historical=True and fromdate and todate? When I try to run it it just does a backtest.

@mudassar031 Thanks, I was googling it and getting the statistics definition. I get it now :) I have literally done it before when working on machine learning (with stock candle data) just never knew the term for it haha

@mudassar031 I don't know what resampling is. I don't understand it. I googled it and it made no sense there either. Apparently that's what i'm missing though because I wasn't doing w/e it is lol.

If I have something like close[-50] and i'm running live mode, does it go back and reference the old data from before the live test started? Or do you have to actually run live test for 50 candles first? I know this is a dumb question I just wanted to make sure it uses data from before the live test.

@mudassar031 Thank you! I will try it.
