No Trades Using Workshop 6

Hi,
Big thank you for all on ZORRO.
Have just come across Zorro after years playing with MT4 EA's.
Hoping this is just what I hoped to find ONE day !
Thanks again.

I have read through so much stuff and waiting for my copy of The Black Book to arrive so am in information overload mode.

I have been through the WORKSHOPS and seem stuck on #6. I believe I have done everything OK but NO trades on Tuesday(late), Wednesday or Thursday to date. I am connected OK and the window has an entry every hour. I have downloaded loads of Price data (4 scripts) and copied into History There is a log file which appears to have sort of run OK.

I have a file Workshop6_7.par with contents:-

EUR/USD:TRND 438 4.30=> 1.732
EUR/USD:CNTR 32.4 0.901 6.94=> 2.160
USD/JPY:TRND 594 2.95=> 1.120
USD/JPY:CNTR 32.3 1.203 8.47=> 1.687

which suggests the system is operating in some form.

Am I doing something obviously wrong?
Will trades happen - just be patient?
Do I need to look elsewhere?
etc.

Any help appreciated.

PS I am sure The Black Book will help but want to understand more about shorter time frames and possible Price action only - i.e. GRID LIKE. Any useful links appreciated

When you backtest the workshop 6, you see the average number of trades on the result page. I think you do nothing wrong, you must just wait.

you have done the right thing , just relax brother ....

Many thanks,

Yes - I have 1 x trade @16:00 on the 11th (down 60 pips) & GBPUSD taken at 6:00 today (plus 35 pips).

The Black Book arrived - just have to try and make sense of everything !

Thanks again

nice to hear this..

Dear All,
I have the following problem with my strategy .
1. I did developed a strategy [ Check below ], the strategy opens only one asset namely USD/CHF for
about three months.

Strategy
enter long trade when the CCI is below -100 , LinearRegression_Slope is greater than 0 , Price is above 200 ZMA & T3 200 ,close when CCI is above //180,reverse is true for Sell .

the strategy opens lot size that are not understandable based on margin computations
Margin = 0.5 * OptimalF * Capital * sqrt(1 + ProfitClosed/Capital)/iNum;

a. sometimes it opens lot size of 0.01 or 0.83 [Need Support from any forum member]
b. the exit strategy is when CCI is greater that +180/-180, this does not happen
i can see from the chart USD/CHF have severally moved beyond +180 and the trade did not close.
2. Trades does not open on any asset , i have about 18 asset.[Need Support from any forum member]
a.MT4 logs does not indicate any problem pertaining to requesting coming from Zorro application.
b. Zorro console does not throw any message or error message.
