I funded my account with m clearing firm (Ironbeam) with $10000. I tried to place a live order today for one contract of the Mini-NQ (December contract). My broker is Deep Discount Brokerage and their website says intraday Mini NQ Margin is $8929....and I have this amount covered for trading one contract. However, upon order entry via Sierra Chart (using Teton CME Routing) I received a Margin Error message saying that I do not have adequate margin. The SC error message says I need $8319.30....I also have this amount covered. Please see attached jpg file..

How can I get this resolved? Is there an additional setting I need to change? I traded live about a year ago and never encountered this issue....

Update...I contacted Ironbeam and the funds I deposited yesterday are on hold for a couple days....even though the funds show up in the available balance. That seems to be the problem..
