Please help.. I have plenty of margin room.

When I bring it down to 1x it works fine.. However, another question. If it opens a trade (IE SELL: 4.0 $37.902) and the price doesn't hit that/does not fill and continues to go down, does the bot reset? When does it reset? Or does it ever move on past that signal?

Thanks!

Looks like trades are occuring via Binance, but nothing is really being printed to console..

How does one follow updates in addition to all of these questions?

And without changing anything it now does not work at all.

In bot_function.py you need to change qty = 0.1 or something your portfolio persent. In bot_function.py change cross leverage to isolated. then in settings.json change margin type isolated.

In my case the "Margin is insufficient." error was occurring when the bot tries to place a trailing stop loss order, following the initial long or short position.

I was able to prevent this from happening by leaving some percentage of the total margin available in the wallet. Effectively, changed the calculate_position_size bot function to not use 99% of the total margin when opening the initial position. Done this by modifying line 119 in bot_functions.py:

From: qty = round(qty * 0.99,8)

To: qty = round(qty * 0.74,8)

And also using ISOLATED margin_type in settings.json.
