The start of the trading day which controls Profit/Loss calculations is set independently in each individual chart. It is controlled with this setting:
Chart Settings: Start Time for Trades List (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

Then at 9:30 am EST I tried to trade and my trading was locked. Which would have been the strat of a new day ?
If the trading became locked around this time, there definitely would be a Trade Activity Log entry indicating this. So consult with that log and see why this happened:
Trade Activity Log

In the case of when using a sub instance of Sierra Chart and when Trade Simulation Mode is disabled in that sub instance, definitely do not use the Global Profit/Loss Management in that sub instance. It can only be set in the main instance of Sierra Chart. Using both will lead to conflicts and unpredictable behavior.
