Guys, it is stated on the same page about the Z-strategies. The margin slider is the amount of margin consumed per trade in account currency. The slider is also limited to 100 by the settings in Z.ini. It is not "50%" or "100%"... hence trading at a margin of 100%... crazy

And it is described as "not fixed" as the algo may alter the margin based on current market situations which means a single trade may take more margin than specified by the slider.

I think it would be better to follow the workshop before going live... Zorro is much more than a black box bot.

"Risk limit per trade in multiples of the Margin slider setting (see Risk). At the default settings of 10 and 50, the risk limit is 10 * $50 = $500. The risk limit is the maximum amount that the worst trade can lose, excluding slippage. If the risk of a trade would exceed this limit, the trade size is accordingly reduced. This is not a hard limit; slippage can increase the loss, and a trade with minimum size (1 lot) is still entered even if its risk is above the limit."

Best wishes
