Order not accepted on IB Master account

Postby no erocla » 30 Apr 2014

Hi,

i've a paper trading multiaccount with IB, with 1 master and 2 slaves.

When i put my autotrading on, i can t send order to my broker and on log i can see this error:
"Your order is not accepted because your equity with Loan Value is insufficient to cover the initial margin required of..."

This is strange, because i've 2M and i can trade with TWS, or through MC manual trading.

I tried to change account on Chart Trading but without any success.


Thank you for any answer

You need to provide more details:
1. what are you trading? (forex?)
2. what size are you trading?

probably an incorrect set up of the instrument?

Hello TJ and thank you for the answer.

I haven't problem to trade with automated trading through a classic paper trading account, the problems occurs when i trade with a multiaccount paper trading (1 login with 1 master and 2 slaves account).

Anyway yes, with Forex and i trade 100k.

This might be difficult to sort out in a discussion forum; you should use Live Chat with tech support, they can connect to your computer and do a diagnostic on the spot.

Did you check your margin allowance. If liquidity not sufficient to cover margin, IB will reject it. To test, try a smaller size order.
