Hi, i had one short position on the paper account for SQQQ, with today’s Reverse Stock split the position gain loss and all the accout is messed up.
Is it there any solution ? Thanks.

Yeah I’m having the same issue. I contacted support and they’re trying to work it out. Your equity will be far lower than it actually is based on the reverse split. No clue when they’re going to fix it

This probably isn’t the answer you’re looking for – but a potential solution nonetheless: QuantConnect integrates with Alpaca Paper and Live, and has various Data Normalization that account for splits, delistings, changes in listings, etc.
I use QC x Alpaca for some of my dynamic universe systems, and the Raw or Adjusted methods of DataNormalizationModes works well.
