so I am testing something on the mes. but I am using amp which has 40.00 day trading margin. but Sierra chart is giving me this. I am using trading evaluator. is this because trading evaluator does not take into account individual broker margins (like the 40.00 for mes) and simply does a flat margin. and when I hook it up live, it should respect the brokers rates right.

thank you
