🔧 Troubleshooting

Option Pricing Issues

If option prices aren't showing:

1. Get exact symbols first: Use get_positions to see your actual option symbols
2. Use correct format: Option symbols look like AAPL 251121C00150000 (not "AAPL $150 Call")
3. Try direct quotes: Use get_realtime_quotes with the exact symbols from your positions

Authentication Prompts

If you keep getting "Allow" prompts:

• This is normal security behavior
• Select "Always Allow" to reduce frequency
• Each tool request requires permission for security

OAuth Setup Issues

If database mode OAuth setup fails:

1. Browser doesn't open automatically:

   • Copy the authorization URL from terminal and open manually
   • Ensure port 8000 is not blocked by firewall

2. "Authorization failed" errors:

   • Verify CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET are correct
   • Ensure redirect URI is exactly: http://localhost:8000/callback
   • Check that your OAuth app is configured for production (not sandbox)

3. "Timeout" during OAuth flow:

   • Complete authorization within 5 minutes
   • Check internet connection and TastyTrade server status
   • Try again with fresh OAuth credentials

4. Database connection errors:

   • Ensure write permissions in current directory
   • Try running tastytrade-mcp clean and setup again

WebSocket Connection Issues

If real-time quotes aren't working:

• Check that markets are open
• Verify your internet connection
• Try reducing the duration parameter
