I wrote a bot which buys and sells crypto, it solely sells when there is a 2% acquire in revenue from when it was originally purchased. When these trades happen the Alpaca dashboard does indeed say the trade was offered at a better value than when it was bought. Nonetheless, the whole equity amount on the paper buying and selling account actually loses cash. There was an issue operating a batch job which synched paper crypto positions between two inside databases.<\/p>\n

The positions problem needed to do with a batch process which synchronizes several internal databases. This process started taking a particularly very long time to finish. At the time, the order problem was thought to be related, however it turned out to be something easy and unrelated. I certainly love how Alpaca works in live crypto buying and selling. But broken paper is a important blocker for me before investing more money into my bot. It\u2019s got to be some sort of bug with the crypto API as a result of my bot has no issues voltarion.ch<\/a> once I trade company stocks.<\/p>\n

Crypto Positions Disappeared From My Paper Trading Account 5 Nov 2025 At Four:35:04am Et, “Position Does Not Exist”<\/h2>\n

I nonetheless can\u2019t see both any official announcements or ETA when paper shall be fixed. Dumb query, however how is that not just a fee? I would have assumed that the unfold would just be mirrored in the value, and not tacked on afterwards. The dashboard should be up to date to mirror executed prices and P&L soon and can show the right values.<\/p>\n

The value foundation and P&L are at present incorrectly being reported as that quote worth (eg $1000 within the above example) and never the precise executed price worth (eg $1001 in the above example). The account equity correctly makes use of the executed costs. @Dan_Whitnable_Alpaca , it\u2019s taking place again. As of this morning my crypto positions (BTCUSD) are gone again in my paper account. @Gabriel_Staples Both crypto positions and orders ought to be working fine now.<\/p>\n
