Uhhhh I guess because you tell him to buy more than you can afford?

[jim]

what are you saying ?
max trade must be set to lower than total balance ?

[paramecie]

Absolutely.

And you've to have enough funds for ALL pairs + some extra (fees), of course if you want it to be able to buy all pairs, in case of.

Example, max trade 0.01 for 10 pairs, you should have 0.10+extra, say 0.11 minimum I'd say?

Thanks ,,,, That Fixed it. 
I was using "max trade setting" to put a limit on the amount of BTC GB had access to, not the amount of BTC it HAD to use
