I reckon that in order to place a stop loss order for your short position, you need to do the opposite of your short and do a margin limit buy order for the same amount of Bitshares that you have shorted.

Encounter the same problem with Poloniex previously. I have to refresh the page, reduce the trade amount and try many times and the order can go through. I didn’t bother to ask support. Seems like this problem has been there for quite some time.

Same here, it helps to reduce the amount I intend to trade... but this really is not the solution.
Where else do you do margin trading?

No. I tried it one more time - same problem. I emailed support - no response.
Result: Stopped trading on Polo altogether.

I get this message although it makes no sense. Anybody understand why?
I have 0.78 BTC in total in my margin account.
I opened short position on 2602 BTS at 6880 satoshi for a total of approximately 0.17 BTC.
Afterwards price drops to 6715 satoshi. Great. Just what I wanted.
Unrealized P/L says
0.00357446 BTC
Unrealized lending fees
-0.00000059 BTC
Margin trading account says:
Total Margin Value 0.72678003 BTC
Unrealized P/L 0.00345257 BTC
Unrealized Lending Fees -0.00000059 BTC
Net Value 0.73023201 BTC
Total Borrowed Value 0.17530806 BTC
So everything is rosy.
Yet if i want to place a stop-loss buy order (in order not to be glued to computer) it says:
"INSUFFFICIENT COLLATERAL AVAILABLE IN YOUR MARGIN" - when it is clearly not the case.
What it is that I don't get?
Or should I at that to a long list of Polo problems?
