My guess is that the liquidation was the result of Veles running out of money, causing the bot to stop with an error. Since the bot takes a commission on the profit it withdraws from the personal account. I assume that the bot stopped with an error at the moment when a position was opened, which the bot should have closed when the target was reached. But the position was not closed at the right moment, which led to a drawdown when the price reversed direction.

Liquidation could have been avoided. For this purpose it was necessary to open a hedging position at the right moment and for this purpose additional funds had to be available on the account balance. But in order to perform such actions one should constantly monitor the work of the bot. But I don’t have such an opportunity. I watch the bot’s work twice a day: in the morning and in the evening.

There is another way to avoid liquidation is to create a trading system that provides for such situations, but this is a topic for a separate article.
