I am trying to open a 48 lot buy order.
The order gets rejected because of insufficient NLV.
Max quantity in error msg. (TSL) is 86.
Max quantity in Trade Positions window is 76.

If you are confused, so am I. Please have a look at the screenshot attached.

Thank you.

What is the specific question that you have? You need to be very precise. What are you confused about. We do not want to infer what you are trying to ask.

And for us to answer a question about the maximum potential position quantity, we have insufficient information. We need to know the current position quantity. We need to know all of the working orders and their quantities and their sides. And we need to know all the details of the new order.

We had a look at the server logs, and it is an order of quantity 10 which took the maximum potential position quantity from 76 to 86, during the evaluation of insufficient Account value.

I saw your second answer after sending my reply.

I found the open orders which I was not aware of.

I am trying to open a 48 lot buy order.
The log shows a quantity of 10.


This is not what we see:
There are no open orders, no current position, no working orders.
We see a quantity of at least 28 and based upon the Position window, a working quantity of 76.

My guess is that the buy and the target order get cumulated to a total of 96 and therefor rejected.
No that is not the problem.

After I got in the position to overlook open orders, I was wondering if there is or maybe will be a possibility to merge all trade related windows which are:

- Trade Positions
- Trade Orders
- Trade Account Monitor
- Trade Activity Log

into one window with a tab for each window.

Thank you.

No this is definitely not going to be supported. This is opposite of what has been asked for among other users.
