In my head, this is how I plan on using SC. I would love to know if there is a better way to use all the many features of SC, or if this is even possible. I payed for package 12, and followed the work around to have access to cheap non-professional data.

My plan is to use websockets and DTC protocol to pull historical data into a python strategy and backtest it. Then, upon meeting my benchmarks, use DTC and websockets again to receive live data, and
send orders from that same python strategy to a broker that SC integrates with for paper and then live trading.

My main goal is to make the switch from backtest, paper, and live accounts as seamless as possible. I am also the most confident in Python, which is why I want to use it if at all possible.
