Hi,

I have installed blackbird and try to do a test run with kraken and bitfinex. Both accounts should be ablo to go short. However when a trading option is found it produces the following error:

I would like to help you investigate what goes wrong here. But I am not sure what information you need or actions I could perform to provide you with additional information needed. I'm not a programmer, but in the mean time I will try if I can understand your code and see what goes wrong.
