Performance report: Wgt% sum not 100, why?

In the performance report, there is a column called Wgt%.

It should be "Weight of the component; contribution to the overall profit of the strategy in percent. The weight can be negative, f.i. with a losing component and a positive overall result."
Source http://manual.zorro-trader.com/performance.htm

But the sum of all the Wgt% numbers is usually NOT 100, even in the manual example.

How should I interpret the Wgt% number?

I think your interpretation was correct. It should normally sum up to 100. The manual example was no real strategy, so the numbers there are sort of random.

Well, the problem is, that the sum is usually not 100 even with my strategies. It's rarely 100, but sometimes it happens.

Does this happen when weigths are negative? Otherwise, do you have an example?

Yes, there is always something negative, but shouldn't the sum be 100 anyway?

Sometimes it's 130, sometimes 50 and I don't know why.

In the first example below, the sum is 108.1. In the second one, it's 131.9

Weights are rounded to 1 digit, so you won't get precisely 100 when you add them manually.

But you can easily calculate the weights in your script, sum them up, and check if the sum is 100. The weight of a long component is 100*(WinLong-LossLong)/(WinTotal-LossTotal).
