Hi jcl, I came across this OptimalF value of 0.999 again. I don't fully understand why this happens. I am concerned that it is not normal, and that it could be caused from something I'm doing incorrectly. See below on USDJPY which shows .999 for longs and .000 for shorts.

I'll post here also the USDJPY chart for this strategy.
Thanks for taking a look at this.

EDIT: I should note also that this may be normal/correct. In looking at the testtrades log, I see that Zorro took the maximum Lot size on every USDJPY long trade as indicated above. However, even the worst losing trade was only a 6% loss (and far less than the MAE %).
