Wealth-Lab 7 was released a few days ago, along with our Alpaca extension!
Wow, cool. So I can create and backtest strategies with Wealth-Lab and use Wealth-Lab to Auto-trade strategies with Alpaca?
Yes, the extension supports paper trading or live trading accounts.

I have installed the Alpaca extension, however continue to get errors:

Hey john_doe, are you trying to connect to an Alpaca live account, or a paper trading account? If it’s a paper trading account, be sure to check off that box in the Configure dialog. They use two different URLs so WL7 needs to know that it’s a paper account.
Yes, I certainly checked the box. There are multiple issues:
The account number for my paper trade account does not match the account number linked in Wealth-Lab.
The keys I received did not allow a connection. I had to borrow keys from someone, then was able to connect (no error messages).
When I place a second trade in Wealth-Lab, it does not show up in Alpaca.
good luck it seems like every one here is at a rush to push out a product
