I understand this is a broker (FXCM) message, but the problem is there has never been a trade with that order #! (The closed trade was a a different order #.) Where did Zorro get that # to send to the broker? Or did FXCM make it up and this is a(nother) problem with the FXCM API? Thanks.

But I don't know why the trade number is different - the number changes only when a trade is not fully but partially closed. Maybe you can post the log?

I'll forward an inquire to the API developers if and under which circumstances this can happen. But it should not be dangerous. If a trade can't be closed at some point, Zorro will repeat the command until it is closed.
