Trade Log: > Insufficient Balance


Problem is: "Balance >> Adjust Balance" is greyed out.

Go through the instructions again and make sure you select the particular Trade Account line in the Account Balances window that you want to adjust.

Problem was that i tried to set an account balance via the subinstance where my trading charts are. But i figured out, that it only works via the main program.

This delayed SIM feature needs work:

-Why cant i adjust the needed margin? I have to simtrade with an account size i dont have but need for internal margin requirements. Maybe i am blind.
-Now i cant place an order because the daily losslimit was reached while having a realized net profit.

PS: increasing the losslimit doesnt help either. So today my hands are tied up for what ever reason.

You can change the margin requirement from the default, here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=ServerManagedSimulationAccountSettings

Refer to the Use % of Margin setting for the account.

Maybe the order was a day order and it expired.

Maybe it was a Stop-Limit order.

We would need the Service Order ID for it.
