Shoot1st, MBT has an explanation of margin requirements that they e-mailed me. It is still totally baffling and obscure, so my solution is to rely not on the basic acctinfo.mqt screen, which tells you nothing about your overnite power, but rely on acctinfo2.mqt, and make sure that the various entries - MMR, beginning power, scalped profit and intraday credit add up to a positive number. Since I've done that I've stayed out of trouble.

I'll say one thing for Scanshift - the discussion he provoked has certainly added to my knowledge of how the system works. So thanks to Scanshift and Jerry Putnam!
