Can't I open a position?
In order to open a trade, the user must have a minimum of $50 in margin. If the required amount is not available, users will need to add more sUSD to their margin to open a trade.
Why can't close my order?
You won't be able to close your trade if your margin is below $50. In order to meet the minimum margin requirement and close an active position, you'll need to add more margin. Keep in mind that there is a fee between $0 and $4 for the network (keeper bots), which will be deducted from your margin. If you don't have enough margin remaining, you'll need to add more funds in order to place any new trades.
Why my position expired?
Standard Order: When the price of an asset is highly volatile, it can be difficult for a keeper to fill an order at the ideal market price. In such situations, rather than filling the order at an unfavourable price, the order may expire.
Limit Order: To be filled, it must remain within the range of the "Trigger Price" and "Limit Price" for a brief period of time. If this range is not reached before the "Limit Order Expiry" period, the order will expire.

Why didn't my limit order go through?
