My paper account lost 30% of its equity over the weekend for no apparent reason. I looked to past forum posts and realized that this is a bug that still has not been fixed. Does anyone know if this bug only affects paper accounts? I want to use Alpaca for real trading, but this incident has me wary that I might see my actual money disappear due to a bug.
