    Not enough excess Margin but order submitted

    I am paper trading with a 3k account with Risk set to NT Trader Brokerage Default (my broker is NT). Often I use stop market or limit orders triggered when price hits them.

    Sometimes I get the NT 'Not enough Margin' error when my orders hit, which is fine, but the buy/sell is actually placed without any stops or targets or ATM.

    I'm concerned when I go live that this will happen and I'll have to frantically try and rescue the trade.

    Is this something that will happen in a live account and if so any way to prevent it?

    I feel like the behavior should be if not enough margin DO NOT place the order. NOT place the order and blow away the ATM / stops / targets.
