That's ok - just a temporary disagreement between the two pattern systems PA and PG. Z7 uses no virtual hedging, that's something to activate for the next update.
From what I see, PA has changed its mind meanwhile and also went long, at least my own instance.
USD/JPY is eating the profit. Yesterday I was tempted to close the position just before the FED interest rates news release, as the position gains was the average trade gain for the 2 weeks of trading..
Yepp same here. I did a backtest before I set the sliders and when I see that I have now 0,15 lot as a buy and my account has ~1300€ I hope that the SL is very near...
My settings:
Margin: 65 Risk: 10

Sundance, same account here ~1300, Z7s with Margin at 80 and Risk at 10 and Phantom trades off, I have to play more with the sliders in testing, looking to start new Z7 instances with different settings in following weeks if this works..
I do not understand the Risk slider and the Margin slider. I've read the Z systems page. Can we try again? Let's say I am starting Z7 on a new account with $X. What do i set these two sliders to, what are the factors in this decision Then lets say later on i need to adjust them. Why? what are the conditions and factors?
Wow. The two trades ended up in a loss of ~170€. Today Z7 drops my 1300€ account down 194€ ! Thats way to much for that little account but backtest showed me that my slider settings are okay. @jlc: Can ou confirm that the settings are okay. I can't see that i did something wrong. Till today Z7 only took 0,05 lot and made wins and losses about 10 to 20€.
