Beginner question - live trading not only backtesting

Hi all,

I'm new to quantopian and searching for some answers I have'nt found so far and I hope you'll help me.

So I'm familar with metatrader. And I'm searching for similar functions for live trading here.

I want to build a trading bot with an own strategy. I've seen, that there is the ability to do this with zipline and jupiter for backtesting. But it seems to me, that if I build a strategy in zipline , that I could use the this code only for backtesting. No real live trading.

What I want is to build a bot once e.g. with some indicators that are available e.g. moving average in zipline library and then after backtesting, to let it run live against my own broker without programming it a second time.
And also let it this bot been running on my own server.

Is that possible in general?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Marc
