Margin Check
Checks a proposed Tactical order against available margin before submission.
Checks a proposed Tactical order against available margin before submission.
When to use
Use it between sizing and Order when the strategy uses margin-sensitive execution.
Example
Check instrument, size, price, and leverage; connect Sufficient to Order and Insufficient to a recovery path.
Keep the estimate before the action
Supply a supported Instrument, proposed Size and Price to Margin Check. Choose whether leverage comes from account configuration, a literal value or the Leverage data input. Its Margin Estimate can report required and available amounts; an illustrative 300 required against 500 available follows Sufficient under that estimate. Connect Sufficient to Order and route Insufficient away from submission. The result is a pre-order check for that proposal, not a reservation of funds or a guarantee that Order will be Submitted or Filled. Re-check the parameters if size, price, instrument or account state changes.
Common problems
A check is based on the supplied request and current simulated state. Do not submit through both outcomes.
