Hi Dmac,
Can you explain how you find the orphan trades in a little more detail? I am using an IB paper account and I can't easily determine what is open and what is orphaned (what is open but shouldn't be).
I have the .html page the zorro produces open and it has 19 trades open. I've only had zorro running for 9 days.
Is there perhaps a way in the logs to identify trade errors?
So you've got 19 showing in zorro. Go into IB and count the actual trades there. If it's not 19 you've got an orphan or two.
Then to find the orphan, go to the zorro trade log and examine each symbol. Let's say have 4 positions in USDCAD. Go look at the USDCAD positions in IB and find the one that doesn't belong (using lot size, date, etc). Close it manually. I do this for each symbol until everything matches again.
The MT4 log is also helpful, it'll show errors if you scroll back. I'm not sure you have the same sort of log in IB for rejected orders, probably not.
Are you trading Z12 in IB? What kind of leverage?
