I have been trying Z4 on a real account with a small amount (ca. 200 EUR) via the FXCM API for a few weeks now. So far, everything seems to work as expected, there have been three trades. All trades have been short.

However, Zorro keeps showing messages like this:

[EUR/CHF::L] Skipped: Total Margin 0

Today, for example, all the previous short trades had been closed, but the above message appeared several times in a row. Are these messages normal? To me it looks like Zorro wants to open a long trade, but doesn't for some reason. Since there were no other trades open, I cannot think of any good reason why the long trade should be skipped, while the short trades were entered normally (intuitively, as long as we are close to the artificial lower boundary of the EURCHF grid, short trades seem more risky to me than long trades).

The Z.ini file looks like this:

NFA = 0
FXOnly = 0
MMax = 100
Phantom = 0
Comma = 0
Mute = 0
Weekend = 2
Verbose = 6
BrokerPatch = 0
Preload = 0
