In dark mode, the colour of the grid lines in the background is overemphasised.
And there's no way to change the colour of the chart lines.
It would be nice to be able to set the colour of the chart lines separately, rather than sharing the colour of the bearish candlestick.

This way, the column in the asset list takes a different meaning when the value is positive.

Now, in the context of the script, the multiplier is actually positive.

You are looping for two instruments, there is no reference to any of your trades. Please have a look at : https://zorro-project.com/manual/en/fortrades.htm, eg. for(current_trades)

Hello everyone.

I have used Zorro while learning programming and basic statistics in the past. Overall, Zorro project with its manual had been a great source for not just learning, but also practising and tinkering. I developed many individual scripts and DLLs with it. Over time I realised I needed a more structured approach. I ended up creating a C++ DLL framework, supplemented with a Python subsystem as a single module, and some git hooks. I licensed it with LGPL3, which enables it to be used in commercial projects. Please feel free to check it out, and do whatever you like with it:

I humbly ask for any feedback you might have in mind. Its invaluable to me. Thank you all for your time, and most of all, thanks to OP Group for all their efforts.

You're right, it makes more sense now. Thanks.

Yeah, I think (as I've experienced myself) that you should stick to one thing, especially in the beginning. Here it's best to choose something you're already familiar with. Meaning Algo-Trading if you're already able to program, longer term investing if you have experience in Accounting and Management of bigger companies, etc. Interestingly I noticed two things as I progressed.

Firstly you'll understand how others (who haven't choosen your path) trade. At some point I realized, how many long-term profitable discretionary Traders trade and why it works. But as this isn't my path it's just a fun thing to know, that you can maybe exploit later on.

Secondly, especially in the later stages (when you really know what you're doing) it seems to me, that it is actually better to look in other directions. Those directions don't have to do something with trading directly, as long as you can somehow project your learnings onto trading. There are dozens of examples of this in the trading world like Ehlers applying Digital Signal Processing and FM/AM Processing onto Prices to catch cycles.

Good knowledge in other fields will probably help you to get more profitable, but only if you've already advanced sufficiently in your path. And you should never leave your path and always come back to apply what you've learned to your path.

But that's just my experience and everyone's approach to trading is (and should be) different.


To the question above:
When I'm building strategies I'm following a plan, that seems to work quite well for me. (As I've noticed it is quite similar to JCL's Plan, definitely check it out). Meaning that I'll search for Filters (one to two at max) to apply to my signal. Sometimes I use ones I already found/developed, sometimes I develope/search for new ones. Since every strategy you trade should be different not every filter will fit every strategy. I'm not struggling with finding a particular filter but sometimes it is just a bit difficult to find ones that are fitting.

But in my experience you get better at finding them with time (just as with signals) and if you don't find a fitting one, that may mean that you're idea is just not working. Document the idea and move on.

The new version supports more cores. But yes, they are for WFO only.

Hello,


sometimes I stop the system without closing the trades and, after starting it again, the system loads the history and resumes with the trades of the last run, as expected.

One annoying thing is that when I start the system, it ALWAYS requests the history from the broker and this means almost 7 months of minute data per asset.

I tried creating a Z12.ini file with the content below and I deleted the z.ini file from the Strategy directory.
In the Z12.ini I set the Preload flag to 1. So, it is supposed, the script will load the available quotes from the already downloaded history files and only request from the broker what is missing.

This did not work.

Has somebody a hint what I could do to avoid these unnecessary requests to the broker?


Thanks in advance.

Hello,

one reason could be that the two accounts have different leverage. My broker lets me define the leverage independently for each account.


Best regards,

EC

Thanks a lot for this info!

Thank you. We'll look into that and will fix it in the next beta version.

oh, but it is a Gamestudio forum section
