In backtests I've seen that my trading strategies would be 2 or 3 times more profitable if I could avoid paying commissions to Interactive Brokers.

I wonder how hard it would be to set something like IB Provider up to connect Wealth Lab Developer to Robinhood or Alpaca.

Has anyone looked into doing this to trade with WLD commission-free?

Thanks for the link -- I searched but didn't see that post.

Support for Alpaca would be a game changing enhancement to WLD!

I'm afraid that our contract with Fidelity may not give us enough freedom to promote broker providers.

Connection to a commission-free broker will be a big plus for WLD since the Fidelity, as the only option, is not available anymore.

Our contract agreement with Fidelity may not permit us to promote broker providers by including them on our website. We'll need to find out to tell for sure.
