A Futures bot has separate limits for its position and its use of account equity. Raising one does not automatically raise the other.
Futures position and margin controls in ANSIO.

Position size, target, leverage and margin allocation are separate controls. Demonstration values.

​
Position and capital

Existing exposure counts toward Margin balance size. The remainder stays reserved. Reducing exits remain available even when the allocation does not allow new exposure. Changing an allocation is not a deposit. If the account has insufficient available margin, new orders wait. See Waiting for margin.

​
Reduce-only

Reduce-only mode cancels this strategy’s orders that would increase exposure and allows orders that reduce it. If the position is long, the remaining strategy orders may all be asks. If it is short, they may all be bids. An empty side is therefore not necessarily a fault.

​
At the liquidation buffer

The Liquidation buffer sets the distance used by the risk rule. At buffer selects the response:
Hold quotes does not cancel resting orders. Auto-reduce on liquidation risk is disabled in the current LIVE interface; do not rely on it to close a position automatically.
Apply changes with Save & Restart. Read the current mark, liquidation distance and position after the exchange response. If the intended action is to close the position now, use the separate Close position flow.
