Hey guys, API is returning I’m not allowed to short. Any idea what’s going on?
Having the same issue.
Try checking the account configuration to see if you have it off by default, its a bit hard to find if you don’t know where to look.
Also if you don’t want to short, but you’re getting this error, you’re probably sending a sell order for more quantity than you own. Maybe a sell order is being sent before the buy order.
Hi, did you manage to resolve the issue?
still have the same issue
any idea what to do ?
Same.
What is going on?.
Same Here Just got my paper account and I am not able to sell short or add any stop limits?
It eventually worked for me.
Make sure of 2 things:
-
money has cleared
-
meets the minimum requirement
