My positions got auto-liquidated today on a shortened holiday session, I did receive many notifications today but I ignored them because I assumed I had enough margin but apparently not? Did anyone else get liquidated by mistake or is my reading comprehension wrong regarding ninjatrader requirements? I had 9 mnq contracts for reference:
Auto-liquidating of account due to Auto-Liq Profile; MICRO Total Cash: $52,280.21, Open P/L: $(953.50), Day Realized P/L: $(693.72), Net Liq: $51,326.71, Initial Margin Req: $33,168.33, Day Margin Req: $900.00
nope i set them all to off and have always been managing my positions manually. I guess I’ll just have to wait until support gets back from the holidays
Trading days like today is risky, relatively, and comes with certain volatility risk.
It’s painful when it happens. Hopefully support will explain it better.
The NinjaTrader risk team evaluates market conditions in real time and reserves the right to adjust intraday margins in accordance with market volatility. If required, temporary changes to the amount of margin required for trading may be made without prior notification.
