Title: "Insufficient collateral available in your margin" Polo margin trading problem Post by: lukaexpl on July 09, 2017, 09:33:55 AM I get this message although it makes no sense. Anybody understand why?
I have 0.78 BTC in total in my margin account. I opened short position on 2602 BTS at 6880 satoshi for a total of approximately 0.17 BTC. Afterwards price drops to 6715 satoshi. Great. Just what I wanted. Unrealized P/L says 0.00357446 BTC Unrealized lending fees -0.00000059 BTC Margin trading account says: Total Margin Value 0.72678003 BTC Unrealized P/L 0.00345257 BTC Unrealized Lending Fees -0.00000059 BTC Net Value 0.73023201 BTC Total Borrowed Value 0.17530806 BTC So everything is rosy. Yet if i want to place a stop-loss buy order (in order not to be glued to computer) it says: "INSUFFFICIENT COLLATERAL AVAILABLE IN YOUR MARGIN" - when it is clearly not the case. What it is that I don't get? Or should I at that to a long list of Polo problems?

Title: Re: "Insufficient collateral available in your margin" Polo margin trading problem Post by: lukaexpl on August 18, 2017, 06:01:26 AM No. I tried it one more time - same problem. I emailed support - no response.
Result: Stopped trading on Polo altogether. Title: Re: "Insufficient collateral available in your margin" Polo margin trading problem Post by: tulamidan on October 29, 2017, 05:54:01 AM Same here, it helps to reduce the amount I intend to trade... but this really is not the solution.
Where else do you do margin trading?

I have to refresh the page, reduce the trade amount and try many times and the order can go through. I didn’t bother to ask support. Seems like this problem has been there for quite some time.
Title: Re: "Insufficient collateral available in your margin" Polo margin trading problem Post by: bbc.reporter on October 29, 2017, 06:42:01 AM I reckon that in order to place a stop loss order for your short position, you need to do the opposite of your short and do a margin limit buy order for the same amount of Bitshares that you have shorted.
