Sounds like this can be solved if the risk slider incorporates 0.01 lot increases so we can trade 10 cents a lot. For the poor like myself

Seems the test has to be put on hold. Account is funded and as soon as I settle on a trading script, I will start my test. Wanted to start with Z1 but as it includes CFDs, I will wait till a forex only version comes through. Think I will add the HUCK trend catcher to the tut final script and trade that.

So I have decided to test the account with the workshop 6 script with a lot more assets, all forex. I will be doing a weekly review of my progress... So stay tuned. And with time I will be adding more systems to the script. So far it is just the two systems from the tutorials.

Looks like when I increase the number of assets in the tutorial script the profitability falls and the capital needed increases. I perfectly understand the need to more capital but the falling profitability needs more research. I have therefore decided to start with workshop_6 final script.

Unfortunately not yet. We have now tested microlot accounts and I posted a comment here: http://www.opserver.de/ubb7/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=408036#Post408036When you run Z1 or Z2 on a microlot account and set Margin at a low value such as 2, it will indeed trade a low volume with currencies. But with CFDs the lot size is still the same as for a mini account. So with Margin at 2, but required Margin at 50 for a CFD, Zorro will skip 24 trades and enter a full lot at the 25th. So you still need $2000 capital because Z1 and Z2 trade with CFDs. We'll include a currency-only version of Z1 and Z2 in one of the next updates. Until then, I recommend not to trade with only $200 on your account. This money is at risk as soon as Zorro purchases the first CFD contract. What about setting the CFDs in the .fac file to zero ?

Does Z1 and Z2 have an automatic retrain line? And a bit confused about the the margin and risk sliders. Does margin * risk give me the highest possible loss I want zorro to take or the minimum risk per trade (based on volume adjustment) ?
