As the title suggests, new orders are being rejected with the above message. How do I resolve this?

Makes sure you have not started your Sierra Chart software with the option for "Risk Manager Mode" enabled. Refer to the following:
Trade Account and Risk Management: Setting Sierra Chart to Risk Manager Mode

The option is on the bottom right corner of the login screen.

If not the above, then you need to ask your broker about this, as they would have put you in this mode.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

Thanks for the response.

I do not have the risk manager mode on.

Contacted the broker, they mentioned it should have been automatically unlocked on Sunday open as the new session began.
