Hello I signed up to Alpaca to trade crypto on tradingview but only stocks are showing up. Alpaca’s homepage indicates support for “stocks” and “cryptos”. How can we get crypto to show up?

Why do you have support boards if you’re going to defer to a Discord server. I’m having the same issue and it would be nice to find support on the support site…

Hello, TradingView advertises Alpaca as a broker for crypto. Is this not actually supported?

Oh, so it Alpaca is not a “source” for crypto, however if I select “Alpaca” in the symbol picker, then it shows me crypto from the Coinbase source. This is confusing for someone new like me.

What does it mean that the source is Coinbase?
