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

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.
Re: Order not accepted on IB Master account
