+    ----
+    This seemingly awkward approach allows us to run the program using a single
+    thread. This is important because Matplotlib does not play nice with
+    multi-threaded environments. Zipline probably does not either.
+
+
+    Matplotlib has a pause() method which is a wrapper around time.sleep()
+    used in the SimpleClock. The key difference is that users
+    can still interact with the chart during the pause cycles. This is
+    what enables us to keep a single thread. This is also why we are not using
+    the 'animate' callback of Matplotlib. We need to direct access to the
+    __iter__ method in order to yield events to Zipline.
+
+    The :param:`time_skew` parameter represents the time difference between
+    the exchange and the live trading machine's clock. It's not used currently.
