Unresolved drift

Most drift — a mismatch between SleeveFolio’s records and your broker’s — resolves itself: the next 15-minute check syncs the missing fill or expired order and the card disappears. This page is for drift that keeps coming back.

First moves

• Trigger a manual re-check from the Reconciliation page — it runs the identical sync without waiting for the next automatic 15-minute check
• Follow Investigate on the drift card — it lands on the exact Positions or Orders view that explains the mismatch
• Check the Alpaca dashboard — manual trades, corporate actions (splits, symbol changes), and dividend shares all create legitimate divergence SleeveFolio didn’t originate

Benign vs. real

Drift you can explain — you traded manually, a split changed share counts — is benign: acknowledge it and move on (the acknowledgment covers only that exact mismatch, so it can’t blanket future surprises). Drift you can’t explain deserves suspicion: treat it as a real records problem, not an annoyance to acknowledge away.

Still stuck

Persistent re-alerting drift on the same symbol usually means an outside process keeps changing the account — another tool with the same keys is the classic culprit. Give SleeveFolio dedicated keys and the loop stops.
