I’m getting the error: No module named ‘alpaca\_backtrader\_api’ I’ve tried the solutions mentioned here [python - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'alpaca\_trade\_api' - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62745845/modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-alpaca-trade-api) TLDR pip install alpaca\_trade\_api And pip install alpaca-trade-api-fixed but still receive that error. Anyone know the fix? ---

I think you may be confusing two modules with similar names: [alpaca\_trade\_api](https://github.com/alpacahq/alpaca-trade-api-python) and [alpaca\_backtrader\_api](https://github.com/alpacahq/alpaca-backtrader-api). Did you install the _trade_ API but are trying to import the _backtrader_ API? ---

Hey Peter, thanks for your reply. Ya I see. Seems to work using anaconda.
