Guide

Does Nyria see early assignment on a short option?

No. Your broker can assign a short option early, and Nyria doesn't see the assignment. Nyria tracks the orders it placed, so its record can differ from your broker's. Check the position at your broker after any assignment notice.

What the limitation says

Your broker can assign a short option early.
Nyria doesn't see the assignment.
Nyria tracks the orders it placed, not the whole account.

Why the records drift

A broker can change a position by itself.
A split is another example.
Manual trades in the account also cause drift.
An order marked failed that did execute is rare.

What an exit alert does then

An exit with no tracked position sends nothing.
It is logged Skipped, not Failed.
The broker may still hold shares or a leg.

How to keep the record clean

Give Nyria an account of its own.
Skip manual trades in that account.
Run the daily check on the Logs tab.
