Hello all
I'm running a live instance of Z12 for 4 weeks now on a GlobalPrime account.
I'm really surprised by some trades: this week, Z12 opened several mean reversal trades on USDCAD, all of them being losing trades, none of them being stopped, even when losing several hundreds of pips.

I expected a different behaviour, as mentionned in the manual in Z2 section: "all trades have rather tight stop loss limits".

I don't see any error or relevant message in the logs, so I guess this behaviour is not related to my broker. How should Z12 behave?

Thanks.

Before live trading the Z strategies it is a good idea to thoroughly read these forums here. Several people were reporting wacky behavior of Z12 in live trading as well as backtest.

My personal observation is that all Z strategies except for Z9 more often than not are exhibiting close to random behavior which hardly can be called a "strategy". (The mods on this forum naturally will assure you of the opposite.)

Ultimately, you will have to form your own opinion, towards which, I see, you have made the first steps by posting your observations above.

The manual info was indeed outdated. The current Z12 has no particularly tight stops. Stops are volatility adapted.

Ok, thank you for your answer.
Does this kind of stop work statistically better for mean reversal trades? It sounds counter intuitive to me.

Yes, it works better for almost all strategies.
