Overnight margin is not the same as intraday margin. For day trading firms the overnight margin is typically 25% whereas intraday margin is 50%. Therefore, if you close an overnight position and reenter it with the same size and price, you are using 50% more margin than you think you are. This can lead to a trading call if you're not careful. If the overnight margin was the same as the intraday margin then you wouldn't have this problem.
