usePolygon #20

Closed kevinsherman closed 3 years ago

kevinsherman commented 3 years ago

hello, i don't see a configuration option to use polygon. what's the recommended approach for this, per: https://github.com/alpacahq/alpaca-trade-api-js/blob/master/lib/alpaca-trade-api.js

usePolygon: config.usePolygon ? true : false, // should we use polygon // data or alpaca data

Alpaca has stated in the docs that "The plan is to eventually provide everything through Alpaca Data API at some point.". I'm not inclined to add polygon for this reason.

If you still want Polygon.io to be included since it is a part of the Alpaca market data... then I agree that it should probably be here for everyone else who isn't me (even though I don't like polygon's history of unreliability)!

If you submitted a pull request to the dev branch I would gladly work with you to merge it into the existing package.
