Thanks for the feedback. I think you also referring to my problem. I saw trades with huge lots. Also those trades made huge profits > 800€s and then closed at -300€. But for going live this is not satisfying for me. So I have to calculate the margin and look at every trade to see if the trade volume is fitting to the slider. *puuhhh*
Do you have no any additional advice for me and my problem. What should i do with my faulty Z12? Reinstalling Zorro and hoping the best?
greets Sundance
PS: Does it make sense to reinstall Zorro into a new folder and restart live trading with only 1000€ and a fitting margin?
At my VPS i have also Z5 running where i can see in the top of the window (keine Rückmeldung). After some seconds it goes away and i can move the window again. Could this also disturb my Z12 which runs in another folder?

Sundance: Yes, it was your session. The CSV file shows a low margin in Janurary, than a high margin until about March 30, then again a low margin. It looks as if the Margin slider had been temporarily moved. But we can not see from the file what the reason was. We're running about 20 trading Zorros since 2 years, but have not experienced any margin issues, except of course when the slider was intentionally moved.
Maybe we can learn more when other people report the same issue - that's why I opened the thread here.
Thus, we can not give a real recommendation at this point. It could be an accidental, unnoticed click on the slider - in that case it was a unique problem and won't happen again. Anyway reinstalling Zorro would not help here.
Two suggestions. For making sure that Margin is not accidentally set to a high value, you can limit the margin in the .ini file. Of course this has the disadvantage that you have to stop and restart when you want to increase the margin.
Second suggestion: Use Excel to look into a copy of the .csv file from time to time. You can do that while trading. Check the "Lots" column. All trades of the same type should have about the same number of lots. If there is a huge difference although you have not moved the Margin slider, something is wrong.
