I purchased the Alpaca extension, but the broker dropdown in order manager only has the dummy broker.
Rename
Did you install the extension and restart WL7? Please set up the Alpaca connector with your API key as shown on screenshots before you can work with it:

The order manager only shows the dummy broker, and the only streaming provider shown is Yahoo finance. There are no instructions to "install the extension".

Since you purchased it, you can download and install it like any Windows executable file. The download link can be found here and here:

I was able to get the keys. When I "connect", there is a very short duration red message "Alpaca connection failed", and the message box shows this:
