Rithmic Error Messages: AutoLiq, Access Denied & Entitlement
You set up your bot, the TradingView alert fires, and instead of a fill you get a one-line rejection: AutoLiq 50000.0%. Or Access Denied. Or something vague about entitlement.

5 Prop Firm Automation Rules Before You Run a Bot (2026)
You passed the challenge. You got funded. Then one Tuesday morning your account vanished, not because you lost money, but because your bot did something the rulebook quietly forbids.
