Hi All !
My name is Vasista and this is my first time venturing into something like this. While I've been an active day trading programming hasn't really been my forte so I'm using this as a platform to learn. Can someone help me with converting the below backtest code to something that can be implemented live starting tomorrow for example ? Appreciate your help in advace.

Also when I try to paper test it, I'm getting an Authorization Violation on Alpaca. Any and all help would be appreciated.
I think you need to have an approved live account with alpaca in order to trade via alpaca paper account.
Hi Vasista - the philosophy behind QC is that if the code runs in a backtest, it should run in a live setting without any modifications. Commands like SetStartDate, SetCash, etc. will be automatically ignored in a live environment.
