Hi,

I am trying to evaluate the Z12 Strategy with different Brokers. By doing so I try to simulate the Broker in changing the AssetsFix.csv.

I have tried with FXCM, Oanda and MT4 Brokers (XM, Admirals, Alpari, AVA). -> Mostly high Leverege, small Lot size, as suggested in the Manual.

However, I am facing a Problems:

Here they are (extract):
AssetsFix0.csv:
Name,Price,Spread,RollLong,RollShort,PIP,PIPCost,MarginCost,Leverage,LotAmount,Commission,Symbol
EUR/USD,1.13795,0.00005,-0.02,0.01,0.0001,0.0871,10,0,1000,0.6,
AssetsFXCM:
EUR/USD,1.08960,0.00013,-0.7111,0.2749,0.0001,0.091782,5.0000,200.012,1000.0,0.600,EUR/USD
AssetsXM:
EUR/USD,1.08841,0.00016,-0.7342,0.1479,0.0001,0.091891,2.0000,500.074,1000.0,0.600,EUR/USD

You can see:
Name + Price + PIP + PIPCost + Symbol: OK
Spread + RollLong + RollShort: 1 Magnitude higher (Today is a weekday and no Wednesday)
MarginCost + Leverage + Lot Amount + Commisson: No Difference or Difference expected

By using the AssetsFix.csv Z12 runs into serious trouble, without the hope of recovery.

I cannot find the Problem. I read trough the Manual, Börsenhackersbuch and the Forum, but cannot find anything. So, I am looking for help in this Forum.
