James, it shows the reason in your screenshot. ITB failed with the message, "TP: Maximum overnight exposure exceeded."
This is due to the Max Equity Exposure Trade Setting in the TP. The TP adds up all the percentages in Broker Positions & Open Orders, & subtracts your Closing Orders. Then it determines if that calculation meets the TP Max Equity setting or not. It then accepts the next trade or not (manual or automatic from Opening Orders) depending on the QTY% of the order. If that QTY% would put the calculation above the Max Equity %, then the order is not submitted & will display, “TP: Maximum Overnight exposure exceeded”.
Increase the percent of that setting if you want. If you don't want the TP to reject trades sent to your broker, increase it to an extreme number, like 500%. That way, if you go over your margin, the broker will be the one that rejects the trades instead of the TP.
