Common Issues

"Portfolio shows zero positions but I have fills"

Cause: Position may have expired and been settled, or state is still updating.

Fix:

  • Check fills to verify execution
  • Look for recent settlement updates
  • Refresh the portfolio view

"Unrealized PnL doesn't match my calculation"

Cause: Mark price may differ from your reference price, or fees may be included.

Fix:

  • Verify the mark price source
  • Check if fees are included in displayed PnL
  • Report if discrepancy is significant

"Portfolio updates are delayed"

Cause: UI refresh or WebSocket delay.

Fix:

  • Reconnect the app or refresh the page
