I am trading an LMAX demo account. I placed a limit order with attached stop loss and profit target. When the order was triggered, the attached orders appeared on the chart, but after a few seconds the stop loss order vanished and I got an "Exposure Check Failure" error message in the Trade Service Log.

I cancelled the profit taker and tried "Send attached orders by position" but I got another error message.

The actual position was live, but the problem was concerning the attached orders.

The attached orders were supposed to be placed at a distance of 100 Ticks or 10 Pips to the main order.

These are log entries:

Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

Exposure check failure from LMAX means there is insufficient funds to meet the margin requirement. These orders are managed by Sierra Chart, so they do not have any special margin treatment on the LMAX side.
