Troubleshooting
"Crypto pair not found"
tastytrade uses USD pairs (BTC/USD) not USDT pairs. Nyria converts automatically, but ensure your strategy uses crypto instruments that map to tastytrade's offerings.
"Insufficient funds for spread"
Credit spreads require margin for max loss. Ensure you have: (spread width - credit received) × 100 × contracts available.
"Invalid option symbol"
tastytrade uses specific symbol formatting. Nyria handles this automatically, but if you see this error, the strike may not be available.
