Hi Ninjas,
I just want to let you know a weird issue, easily addressed with a setting but perhaps it should be studied.
Doing a simulation, Script with market orders and its Stop & Target orders, suddenly gives an error message like this:
" The strategy has been disable cause an order was rejected by interactivebrokers because there's not enough equity, please reduce quantity "
The message is clear but real causes are not, here the conditions of that simulation:
- The equity simulation was set previously in 1.000.000
- The quantity of orders in E-mini contract futures was ONLY 1, which margin is 2-500 a unit
- The Stop & Target submission was set: By Strategy Position
- Entry orders were at market
I addressed the issue when simply I set the Stop & Target submission to: PerEntryExecution
Not a real issue to me but I wanted to let it know cause it could be avoided by developers
