Is there a limit to the number of self.AddAlpha(Alpha1()) you can add to your algorithm? I saw a note in one of the Documentation sections that indicated two but have found other references where it said as many as you like. I am asking because I am starting development in earnest and need to understand the limitations of this framework.
Also, does anyone know if you have to pay for a Live node to put your algo into paper trading mode? My algos trade only futures and options…might make a difference.

Hi Micheal,
There is no limitation on how many alphas can be used in a single algorithm. We need to have a live node or at least a research seat to use paper trading.
Note that QuantConnect data feed doesn't provide US Equity Options, we will have to use Interactive Brokers paper trading with an Options data feed subscription.
Best,
