ATTENTION People Live-Trading VIXY (possibly UVXY too)!

I am 99% sure Quantopian missed the split this morning, so it's possibly/likely that if your algo places orders today, it ordered 5x too much.

Note: the same problem may apply to UVXY.

Not a good day for this to happen...

Every day I wonder when Q Live Trading is going to come out of "beta". But every week there are major issues with the live trading platform, so I guess the answer is 'not anytime soon'.

Thankfully I only lost a few hundred dollars due to this bug. Could have been worse.

The issue report doesn't actually say what happened under the hood, the fix, and why the problem will be prevented in the future. One step in moving out of "beta" would be to provide the full technical low-down (with the obvious exception of revealing proprietary details, that give Q a competitive advantage).
