## Environment **Language** Python 3.10.0 **Alpaca SDK Version** alpaca-trade-api 1.4.1 **Other Environment Details** Windows 10 Pro PyCharm 2021.3.2 (Community Edition) ## Problem **Summary** I cannot retrieve my LTCUSD position. I used my program to open a LTCUSD position successfully, but I cannot close or access the position. The same code works for other positions, e.g. AAPL, so this isn’t a problem with my account or the code I’ve written. **Paper or Live Trading?** Paper **Example Code** api.get\_position(‘LTCUSD’) _or_ api.close\_position(‘LTCUSD’) _or_ api.close\_position('LTCUSD, 47) **Error messages** _“requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: [https://paper-api.alpaca.markets/v2/positions/LTCUSD](https://paper-api.alpaca.markets/v2/positions/LTCUSD)”_ … _“alpaca\_trade\_api.rest.APIError: position not found: LTCUSD”_ **Proof of existing LTCUSD position:** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/alp/original/2X/a/acefe93f7d460fe4c9c4a75d3c54056191ec1c18.png) ---

Update: I also created a BCHUSD position and also cannot get/close it. Stocks seem to be fine. Is there a problem with the API at the moment? @Dan_Whitnable_Alpaca @mahmoud_alpaca @Abel_Alpaca @Gergely_Alpaca ---

Update 2: both my LTCUSD and BCHUSD positions show up when I use `api.list_positions()` so I don’t know why `api.get_position('LTCUSD')` and `api.close_position('LTCUSD')` are not working. ---

Update 3: I also cannot close the LCT/BCH positions via the web UI. Perhaps there is a larger problem with your crypto interface? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/alp/original/2X/6/6018766e5065974a660ab42dabcf526cf1b8ddd3.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/alp/original/2X/9/94f9799f8080e35751a42d783cb44547e46f4524.png) ---

@maxks90 The same thing is happening to me. At the moment, I cannot liquidate LTCUSD from the UI or from the API. Earlier in the week, I was not able to liquidate ETHUSD. Something seems to be wrong with the cryptotrading. Might be tied to the various paper trading issues that people have been experiencing yesterday/today. ---

I’m still getting this error. I can open and close new crypto orders, including LTC and BCH, but I still cannot close my existing LTC and BCH positions. It’s as though the positions do not exist, which is really concerning. ---

Looks like Alpaca is fixing it: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/alp/original/2X/4/4442a3bc7ec728e91124caacdcfc5f4273c3e7cf.png) * * * ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/alp/original/2X/1/1251edba5cac49b4cec61b5bce1e6947b1a0cff6.png) ---

Can confirm: situation is now fixed 😊
