Do not overwrite .log in Trade

Do not overwrite .log in Trade - 12/03/16 17:22

Hi jcl,

When Zorro starts a strategy it overwrites the .log file. I think this is fine in Test, but in Trade I would like at least the option to not overwrite the .log, by saving the prior .log via a timestamp, incrementing #, or some other way. I have lost .log files when Zorro needed to be restarted (due to VPS issue or whatever). I know I should have saved the prior .log, but it's too easy to forget to do this...

Thanks.

Hi DdlV,

Totally agreed. I think this goes in the same direction as my proposal to preserve the strategies' performance parameters (stats, results, graphs) between restarts - at least in (real) trading. Actually they are lost completely (except of the pure list of trades) and I work around using all AlgoVars for statistical matters but that's not possible referring z's of course. jcl told us in the linked thread one and a half year ago that it is not easy to implement.
