@Dan_Whitnable_Alpaca , I found out what was going on. I reset my account thinking it was only resetting my portfolio. With that knowledge I now see this has confused others in the past and you suggested fixing it. See below. Thanks again.
Questions if you could help:
Is there any way to not have the API key and secret key change when you reset the amount in your paper trading account? I would like them to stay the same after reset so I do not need to chnge them in the remote server I am using to trade against the alpaca api. THX GF

Currently, when a paper trading account is reset it also resets the API_KEY and … the SECRET_KEY. This creates confusion, and a fair amount of support issues, because user trading programs then fail with the wrong key.
One solution would be to copy the key and secret key to the new account. If this is not possible, perhaps at least add a message indicating that the keys must be updated after an account reset.
