Hello,

I trade the FGBL on Eurex, and I entered an OCO trade using the DOM, and then selected the "Flatten Position and Cancel Orders" option on the DOM, and set the time to 21:58. However I can see that my order is still open after 21:58. In the logs I can see the following error at 21:58

2025-06-19 21:58:00.337 | Trade Order Error - CQG order update. Status: REJECTED. Text: Account purchasing power EUR4810 (USD5531) is insufficient to satisfy total portfolio margin requirement including this order EUR5174 (USD5950). Internal Order ID: 13399. Service Order ID: 1678922017. Symbol: F.US.DBU25.

This doesn't make much sense to me, how can I not have enough funds to flatten a position?

Cancel all of the working orders first.

Also this is a rejection from CQG.
