Troubleshooting
"Insufficient buying power"
Check your available cash and margin. For credit spreads, ensure you have enough for the maximum loss (spread width - credit received).
"Invalid option symbol"
Option may not be available at that strike/expiration. Check Tradier's option chain for available strikes.
"Market closed"
Tradier restricts market orders outside regular hours. Use limit orders for extended hours trading.
