Hi, I have updated to 1.26 about a week ago. The new z5 worked fine for some days but suddenly it opened a huge long position with a very close stop. And today it lost a lot of money with that positon. The situation is similar to what can be seen here: http://www.zulutrade.com/trader/166398 (date open: 2014-10-10 12:01:08) but in my case it was 11x bigger amount than the typical trade. (116K where the typical trade was 9-11K before this). I bought the concept of grid trading EUR/CHF as a relative safe way of doing forex. Now I cannot find any info about the new strategy component but I think that opening huge positions with close stop is not part of classical grid trading!

I asked already for information about the new component in another thread in here and got more or better less directly the answer, that it won't be revealed. I am not interested in details, an info about the kind of algorithm would be totally sufficient. Especially if it explains those uncommon trades that happen since 1.26.

Hi jcl,
thank you for the info!
I suspect that the new component tries to make money from the low-volatility state of the market. Is there any cause of not being clear about the new component?
Z5 is the low-risk part of my forex portfolio because it was clear how it works and what are the constraints it needs. Unfortunately starting with 1.26 it is over, I don't understand what it does, and it is not clear why the risk of it is lower than usual.
It would also be nice to update the documentation because it fails to say anything about the new component and it is wrong when it states that Z5 is a grid tader.
Thank you for your answer in advance!
