Automatic liquidation will always be based upon the margin requirement that you see in the Trade >> Trade Account Monitor when using Teton order routing:
Sierra says correctly my risk is $900. Clearer sums those outrights and says my overnight risk is $4500 plus or whatever and liquidates me…
Broker margin calculations will not be applicable.

No this is not easy at all. This is massively very complex:
I’m no developer but it seems like this should be a very easy fix which removes these conflicts for spreaders. Thanks again for your consideration.
There is a huge amount of complexity in all of this. So many complications and difficulties and side effects. And the CME makes this terribly complicated.
