Wealth-Lab 7 was released a few days ago, along with our [Alpaca extension](https://www.wealth-lab.com/extension/detail/Alpaca)!

Wow, cool. So I can create and backtest strategies with Wealth-Lab and use Wealth-Lab to Auto-trade strategies with Alpaca?

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.
