The past couple of days paper trading seems to not work correctly - prices do not update, meaning the dashboard/simulator doesn’t “know” about the price having changed, so stops don’t execute when they should. Both yesterday and today at the start of the regular session (9:30-9:40a) the prices and P/L visible in the dashboard did not update at all after a few orders executed first thing. I canceled all orders, exited all positions, and tried again, same thing. Now I can’t cancel this second batch of test orders at all so my account is effectively unusable. What is going on?
I have been using paper trading for months now with no problem. The only different thing yesterday was that I ran my code in the cloud for the first time as opposed to on a local machine. But that shouldn’t matter for what the simulator does or sees in terms of prices, and today I got the same stuck/unusable result testing both on local machine and in the cloud. Help?
Same to me. This issue started yesterday and today is happening again. Today is still worse. I’m not able to close my open positions because I have open orders as “pending_cancel”.
I think my issue might be related:
When trying to cancel orders through the API, I get:
504 Server Error: Gateway Timeout
Issues with Paper Account here too.
In my case, i see {‘code’: 40010001, ‘message’: ‘crypto orders not allowed for account’}
while in my account/configuration i see that crypto trading is enabled. This happens since yesterday morning.
The problem continues today–submitted a bunch of orders at 9:31, they showed up on the dashboard with ‘accepted’ status right away - and are still sitting there with the same status 7 minutes later. Paper trading has become unusable.
has alpaca addressed this? it just recently started happening to me yesterday 1/5/22
