What is the recomended procedure to replace actualized Z strategies (Z7 & Z12) and parameters in a case like this where you have new features like BR_WEEKEND replacing WEEKEND so that you need the new 2.15 to run the Z strategies?
a. use the new Zorro 2.15 with new parameters NOW (in the case there are no such major changes you could use the new parameters with the old Zorro version). b. whait till final release.
I guess you have tested Zorro 2.15 with the Z strategies already and found no bug, so a. wolud be safe. For other own developed strategies, final release is more obvious for me.

You can use 2.15. It passed all tests so far. When a parameter is replaced, the old one is still supported for a long time. Don't use it for new systems, but old system should still work.

Hi JCL, Now that the weekend parameter is gone from the editable z.ini file, how does one set the weekend parameter, now called the BarMode flag for the edit locked z systems? For example, it appears that no bar will be created, but will my instance still be logged into the exchange server? Previously, the system would log out and log back in once trading was ready. This was very useful as the exchange would periodically update their local servers creating log in issues when weekend flag was not properly set.

The Z systems have their own bar mode flags, so the weekend parameter is not needed anymore. Explicitly logging off is also not needed - this was required for the old FXCM API, but not anymore for the new one.
AFAIK there is no "Z7_29.par". Such error messages could be caused by mixing up new and old versions.

Update on my question: Weekend here and my log is now spammed with "Service Unavailable. Please try again messages". As previously mentioned, this was solved by logging the system out and then back in. The other benefit was that sessions were guaranteed to re-authenticate which did not always happen under previous versions of zorro without weekend flag. I am using OANDA API
