GTC orders instantly canceled (BTC/USD)

What could cause a GTC order to get instantly canceled?

For the past 7 days or so, I can’t get a trade to fill in a test account. Be it an API call or an order from the UI, it won’t get filled and the status switches instantly to canceled as soon as the order is made.

I am trying to trade BTC/USD (PDT shows 0), The order is within the expected limits. I tried with various amounts starting from 11$ up to 250$. I tried market and limit orders. I tried using amount and quantity. The order just gets instantly canceled without a warning or error.

Any idea of whats going on?

I’m having the same issue, I’ve tried multiple cryptos and amounts and order types. UI and API not working

Also noticed this issue. I wrote a python scrip that tries to buy all the 22 /USD pairs and they all fail except XRP. This started happening for me today. Appears to be some type of backend problem with Alpaca and crypto

Danny_Krastev , @JPz , @packy Does this happen on just the sandbox account for you too, or do you use a real one (actual money)?

This happens in my paper account. I don’t yet have money in my real money account

Also, only in my paper account. Last night, it started working again for me. Hopefully same for you.

It seems to have started working again at around 1:31 am yesterday.
I will track to see if this happens again in the next few days.
Thanks for everyone for their input
