The strategy uses several assets and algos, and has Hedge = 4. The surprising parts are that trades are immediately exited at the same price as the entry, and the associated profit is exactly 1 or 3 thousand dollars. Code: ... [USD/JPY:NET:S8266] Short 1@119.07 Net trade at 23:00 [USD/JPY:NET:S0001] Cover 1@119.07: +1000$ at 23:00 ... [USD/JPY:NET:S7637] Short 3@118.66 Net trade at 09:25 [USD/JPY:NET:S0001] Cover 3@118.66: +3000$ at 09:25 ... Currently the Result Window reports numbers like "49191 +7073 +20 ////\\" but I believe $7000 of the Money earned, "+7073", is not correct. If it were correct, the Current equity in the demo account would be closer to 56000. Also attached screenshot. What's going on here? Attached Files NET_bug.png (71 downloads)

I don't have the log files to back it up, but it has happened at least twice in 2015. www.robotwealth.com

I manually closed a position or two in January after I changed the strategy I was testing. I have not opened or closed any trades manually since starting the current session of [Trade], meaning the beginning of the attached log. I checked the all-time report generated by the FXCM client application. I did find one surprising thing. There are 3 open USD/JPY positions, 2 open EUR/JPY positions, and open 2 CAD/JPY positions. I guess FXCM Demo accounts don't enforce NFA Compliance Rule 2-43(b)? Either way, Zorro shouldn't be able to get the account into this state, as I have set(NFA) and Hedge=4.

Is there a way to force a re-sync? Or is there a way to list the valid ones associated with this running strategy so that I may close the rogue ones manually? By the way, http://zorro-trader.com/manual/en/heding.htm is an outdated page that should be deleted. The NFA page links to it in error.

Can you check the two trades that had a wrong closing message - ID ending with 8266 and 7637? When and at which price were they really closed?

There is a section of Combined Account Statement called OPEN/FLOATING POSITIONS IDs 115798266 and 115827637 appear in it. So they are open, not closed.

The cover message also had an imaginary id of 0001. Can you post the script? You can also send it to Support when you don't want it public. We'll look into it. Due to the wrong message, the displayed accumulated profit is likewise wrong. Update: I believe we found the problem. It was indeed related to the NFA flag. We'll upload a new version, 1.28.1, to the beta forum in the next days. Please continue with that version. And check if you really have an NFA account: if you can manually open a short and long position at the same time, it is not NFA.

Since it was time to do system updates on the VPS anyway, I pressed Stop & clicked no for close all trades. and rebooted. When I pressed [Trade] again on the same Strategy, Zorro crashed at start-up. The error reporting dialog had this body. The crash is reproducible. Code: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: Zorro.exe Application Version: 1.2.4.5 Application Timestamp: 5418366c Fault Module Name: Zorro.exe Fault Module Version: 1.2.4.5 Fault Module Timestamp: 5418366c Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 00123031 OS Version: 6.3.9600.2.0.0.272.7 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 5861 Additional Information 2: 5861822e1919d7c014bbb064c64908b2 Additional Information 3: a10f Additional Information 4: a10ff7d2bb2516fdc753f9c34fc3b069 log file has only this. Quote: Trade: white1440 portfolio (NFA) 10.02.2015 Trade 0 not found Trade 1 not found Trade 2 not found Trade 3 not found CNTR0011 Trade 4 not found Trade 5 not found Trade 6 not found Trade 7 not found Trade 8 not found Trade 9 not found Trade 10 not found Trade 11 not found AUD/JPY Trade 12 not found I held on to the previous log file as well. To possibly help you further, I created a new demo account and began the same strategy again on it. Obviously there are no open positions in this one. I will let you know if Zorro gets confused again. My working theory is that there were some leftover trades in the account when I started this session. And, Zorro was unable to detect and recover from this broken state. Last edited by GPEngine; 02/11/15 06:22.

In FXCM Trading Station App, I was not able to open two opposite positions in the same currency. The 2nd trade caused the first one to be closed, resulting in a single open position with size being the sum of the two requested positions. (-13 + 17 = 4) I will await beta version. Can you offer more details about the nature of the code fault?
