Hello, in my strategy monitor, I am using the alpaca account with real money as the account number, which is what I want. However, when the strategy monitor activeates and has an order signal, it sends the order to the paper account. I have "use paper broker account" unchecked in Data Manager -> Historical Providers -> Alpaca.
Is there a step I am missing? Thank you.

It sounds like an "impossible bug".
Are you certain that the correct account is configured for the Strategy, and that it's showing in the "Broker" column when you activate it?
If not, maybe you opened a Workspace with the Paper Account as the selected broker? Just a guess.

Also, you could be running several builds behind. Make sure to upgrade WealthLab to Build 87 and Alpaca to the latest version. Tools > Home Pane, right click in the version info, select all Upgrades, and then Update.
Your first suggestion worked.
For those having the same issue:
At first, I setup and activated the strategy using the paper account. However, after I changed Alpaca's preferences to use the live account and updated the account in the strategy Monitor, I would still see the paper account in the column Cone mentioned. So, I deleted the strategy in the strategy monitor, drag and dropped the same strategy, and used the live broker account. After activating the strategy, The live broker account number was in the broker column of the strategy monitor, and the order was sent correctly.
