Capital Warnings

The “not enough avialable capital” warning occurs when there isn't sufficient capital for a bot to enter a new position.

The “Not Enough Available Capital” warning occurs when a trade is attempted and the bot does not have sufficient funds available to cover the position.

Although there may be enough capital allocated to the bot for any single trade, some of that capital may already be in use for other opened trades. See the Capital section of the bot's Dashboard for a description of currently available funds.

You can always edit your bot's allocation in the Safeguards section of the Settings tab.

FAQs

What does the "Not enough capital" warning mean?

A bot has placed a trade and found there were not sufficient funds available to cover the position. Although there may be enough capital allocated to the bot for a trade, some of that capital may already be in use for other opened trades. See the "Capital" section of the bot's "Dashboard" for a description of currently available funds.

How can I prevent this warning from occurring?

In your decision tree you can add a check for the bots capital using "bot has enough available capital." This will check to see if the bot has enough capital available before it attempts to open the position, and will avoid throwing a warning if there are not enough funds to cover the new position.

Where can I change my allocated capital for a bot?

You can change a bot’s capital allocation under its "Settings", and inside the Safeguards window to the right. Click the pencil icon to edit the allocation and other position related settings.

What is the minimal amount of capital I can assign to a bot?

Bots require a minimum capital allocation of $250.
