Hello,
No, it does not do that automatically,
but it will exit automatically your position (liquidate) if it loses more
than user-defined amount or more than 99.9% (automatic ruin stop).
One can also program partial exit via sigScaleOut if position in more than
one contract.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

Do you know if AB hadles automatically margin violations due to losses
and rescale accordingly?
