Thanks Victor.

I have a follow up question.

We have been seeing this error again today. We exited all positions prior to when markets closed around 5PM EST. We noticed our Realized P/L and Total P/L values did not reset when markets opened back up at 6PM EST. Is this by design?

It appears we continue to get "Order breaks limits." rejected trades due to the high Realized P/L values. I would think these values would get reset to 0 on a new market day.

If you could help us understand what is happening here or let us know if it is a bug on your end we would appreciate it.

Regards,
-John

For example for trade:

6EM2
OECId: 202309119

DateTime: 5/11/2012 21:32:38.369
COMMAND CREATE Sell 3 6EM2 STP 129.10 LMT 129.08

DateTime: 5/11/2012 21:32:38.388
STATE REJECTED "Order breaks limits."

I believe we had no other 6EM2 trades working at this point, but the trade was rejected to the high Realized P/L and Total P/L recorded from the day previous (prior to 5PM EST close).

Thanks.

John, there was a bunch unexpired day orders from April that tied margin in your account. I removed them, please try again.
