Post Alpaca Data API v2 Plans?

[cole-seph-fi]

Hello, all,

Given that Alpaca soon plans to end its free Polygon integration, does anyone have any thoughts on a mitigation plan for users of polygon data in this alpaca-backtrader integration?

I, myself, use Polygon data for running backtrader backtests going back ~15 years. However, the replacement price point for this data is pretty steep at $200-500/month, and not really doable as a casual retail trader.

It looks like Alpaca's Basic Data V2 plan will only have 5 years of historical data and Polygon's Basic Plan will only have 2 years.

This integration has been so helpful, especially with having all the data in one place. I know premium data comes at a price but I hate to see the ease of accessing this go away.
