Alpaca Account Troubleshooting Random

My account for some reason is showing not authorized to trade. Was this ever resolved?

Hi ogmohammed, can you send an email to support@aplaca.markets with your account id? I will check why to see why this is showing up in your account.

This solution worked for me:
Is your Alpaca Account linked to TradingView by any chance?

If so, the following steps should fix this issue:

  1. In the 0Auth Apps Alpaca menu, find TradingView and “Revoke” access
  2. Go back to your paper account and reset it again
  3. Generate a new API Key
  4. Try trading, it should work now.
  5. You can reconnect Alapaca to TradingView from here
