Interesting.

Since I posted, I went ahead and upgraded to 1.14 beta.

This time on restarting, there were no gaps and instead of a wait of a few days before the first trade was taken - as was my past experience with the mt4 bridge - z12 jumped straight in and now has 6 trades.

BTW this z12 with fx only has way outperformed the full z12 on fxcm even with the constant upgrades and gaps when it was taking no trades with the same margin risk settings of 50/10. +980 vs -700 on closed trades and +1700 vs -500 in current equity, since the end of May.
