No trades are executing

No trades are executing - 04/17/17 08:21

Hello,

I'm new to Zorro and currently testing it with an Oanda Demo Account. I'm using the MT4 bridge. I'm testing with Workshop 4_1.

When I start Zorro I get the "Zorro Connected!" message in MT4. I also have a green square and in the server field I see "Closed - 08:24:00 1.06406". So this seems to work.

I'm getting following similar messages for enterLong and enterShort trades:
"(EUR/USD::L) Can't open 1 @ 1.0627 at 9:00"

After setting PRELOAD, the "Can't open" message is gone, but now I receive following message:

[EUR/USD::L] Skipped Bar

Autotrading is enabled in MT4.

I'm using Zorro 1.54 with MT4 Bridge 1.4.

Does anybody know how I can debug this or what could be wrong? I have already tried setting up the debug level and I have read most of the documentation.

Maybe the market has been closed because of the weekend and now because of Easter Monday?

Thanks for your feedback pcz. According to Tradingview/Oanda symbols the market is open and I can see price moving.

I made the mistake that I was running it on a weekend first, but discovered this issue quickly in the documentation.

I have now enabled PRELOAD and tried to set the Verbose to 7 another time. Maybe it can't download the history? Hopefully it'll spit out more information.

The message "Closed" in the server window means that the market is closed, so no positions can be opened, even though prices might be available.

Thanks a lot for your feedback jcl. There was indeed an issue with my account. I noticed it because the New Order button in MT4 was disabled.

I'm running Zorro again. Keep the fingers crossed grin
