Hello,

Its been a week, I have funded my alpaca account I was not able to execute a single trade. TradingView shows only paper trade option when I connect alpaca account. As per the help documentation, TradingView is supposed to show a drop down to switch between alpaca paper trade and live account. There is no such dropdown and I am forced to use only paper trading account.

By looking at this situation, I tried to withdraw funds from alpaca. Despite of sufficient funds, alpaca shows “ not enough funds available to withdraw “ I would like to withdraw funds asap. Requesting you to look into the matter.
