Insufficient Balance when using API

Users who have trading bots on the platform, sometimes encounter an insufficient balance error when placing an order through the API.

This internal message in Bittilo is sent by the Real-Time Matching Engine to manage the trading risk. The amount obtained from the trade can not be spent for up to 10 seconds for the next buy order.

For example, if you have placed a 1 bitcoin sell order, while your order or any part of it is fulfilled, the amount obtained from the trade cannot be spent for up to 10 seconds for the next buy order.

Obviously, this will reduce the trading volume and the number of bots available on the platform.
