Hi, On friday, when the 'war broke out' and the dax went down more than 2% within minutes, my zorro instance was a little bit slow closing some of the trades. (it had to stop 6 trades at the same time so this is not a problem) The problem is that: - StopFactor wasn't set, the default value is 1.5 according to the docs. Some of the trades were closed at -100PIP by zorro, although the stop of every trade was 22PIP. FXCM failed to stop any trade. - I have set StopFactor to 1.0, stop is 22. I see trades on the fxcm app like this: open: 9332 stop: 7465 open: 9335 stop: 7467 open: 9263 stop: 7408 open: 9246 stop: 7396 (Edit: These trades have trailing stops. But the first 2 aren't trailed. edit2: sorry this is not true, these trades have no trail stop) Seems like an IQ test question: what is the rule? Thanks for helping in advance!
