Hi jcl.

Yes, I have read that page many times in the past, and also again in the last days. My recollection was of the "externally closed" message, and not seeing that assumed Zorro had done the closing. I'm now better informed that "closed" with or without "externally" means Zorro didn't do it.

FXCM has responded that the trade was closed due to Stop. I did not manually set a Stop, and there are no Trail messages in the log indicating that Zorro updated the Stop. I have asked FXCM for the Stop history of this trade and will advise their reply.

Now that I know what "closed" means , I see 2 other instances in April where XAU/USD trades were Closed - presumably also due to Stop and without my setting a Stop or any Trail message appearing. This has not happened to date (since April) with any other Asset. I will wait for the above trade to be resolved before looking further into these trades.
