Margin Sell - APIError(code=-2010): Account has insufficient balance

[Georgi_Manov]

Hello guys,

Could you please help me explain how to place a margin short order?

My code:

client.create_margin_loan(asset='BTC', amount='0.001', isIsolated='TRUE', symbol=ticker)

client.create_margin_order(
    symbol=ticker,
    side=SIDE_SELL,
    type=ORDER_TYPE_MARKET,
    quantity=0.001
    )

I also read the following topic but still can’t get why I am wrong:

Margin Order & Loan

Hey, I’ve created a Margin Buy order, it went well with it. But in case of margin Sell order I’m getting insufficient balance notice (yup there isn’t any ZEC balance). But I want to create a loan and go short. And also want to create loan at the time of order execution. [IMG20200917195529]

Thank you a lot in advance for the help

Do you have enough funds in this isolated margin account?
