Hi guys,

i've a paper trading multi account 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've this error:
"Your order is not accepted because your equity with Loan Value is insufficient to cover the initial margin required of..."

This is strage, 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 success.

Any Idea ?

Thank you for any answer

No Erocla,

what happens when you autotrade just on one account without the slaves? I am not exactly sure how IB works here, but are there enough funds in the slaves as well?

No Erocla,

it's probably just a simple settings issue then that the helpdesk should be able to quickly resolve.
