Simple nodes for Stock Trading with Alpaca and Node-RED
These were originally a handful of (four) nodes that did the most basic operations available in the Alpaca NodeJS SDK. The main project has evolved to use a more powerful and targeted structure, which now includes all of the functionality that was originally available in the "simple" nodes. So to keep things clean I'm separating the simple nodes into their own project.
If you have a project that used the simple nodes in the sibling project and lost them after updating, the intention is that installing this package will restore them. If that's not the case, raise an issue on GitHub and I'll help you out.
