    Does anyone know what the deal is with this error? (See attachment.)

    "Not allowed to open new positions at the moment because account valuation may be incorrect."

    This is a demo account (of course) and as anyone can clearly see, my open positions certainly aren't pushing the limits of the 50:1 margin. Yet, TWS is refusing to place orders. And even worse, sometimes it won't even let you exit a position reporting the same error.

    Why? Is this what can be expected with a live account? Or is this a demo fluke?

    Thanks!

    Don't know about this -- but have never seen it in my (non-demo) account.
