Hello all,
I am wondering about two things:
1) Is it possible to run paper trading on a local machine? I guess the answer is yes but would like to confirm this.
2) During the paper trading on a local machine, what is the source of the self.history usage? I mean the result of this call is the same as during back testing?

Hi Mateusz,
You can use a paper trading account with a brokerage to get the data and to paper trade. Furthermore, please see this thread for using History in live trading.
Best,
Shile Wen
