The Z strategies status HTML pages tell me that Zorro already has earned about 250€. If I log into FXCM's trading station then it tells me that my account balance (including the value of all open trades) is a little bit below the original 4000€. In detail: - Z3: System State: 4255 +25 +87 //// - Z7: System State: 4253 -19 +10 /// - Z12: System State: 4253 -39 +7 15/5 - Broker FXCM: 3985€ If I did understand it correctly then the brocker value should be nearly the same as Zorros 4253+87+10+7 = 4357? Do Zorro and the broker speak about different things? For me as trading starter this is very confusing. Can someone bring a little light in my darkness? Kind regards, Peter
