AFAIK the release version is 1.74.8, the same that was here on the forum.

I don't know if it's 1.74 related but if I only have phantom trades (for checking behavior on a live account) in trade mode the performance report stays completely empty, both on the .htm status page and in the .txt in the log folder. The only chance to trace the phantom trades is the log itself. Shouldn't the phantom trades be visible in parts of the performance report?

No, strategy performance is not affected by phantom trades.

Is there a possibility to use phantom trade as real signal ?

Sure, you can use them as signal just as anything else.

I have experienced with current equity mismatch from between Zorro result window and MT4, and inaccurate money earned (or lost) by the strategy since the start.

For example, I started a Z system on a real account with capital 10000.
Now, MT4 displays equity 8500, yet Zorro shows 8000 and money earned +2000.

Do you guys have such an issue? I use Zorro 1.74.6

Recently, when back-testing strategies with multiple assets I have experienced the following issue with the newest Zorro version from the download page:

When I start a new strategy file and plot some graphs for the various assets everything seems to work fine. Then after I close zorro and later return for a new session, the script does not perform my plot commands any more (it only shows the first default candle plot of the most recently selected asset). Obviously, the code is still the same between shutting down and restarting. Therefore, since it was plotting just fine before shut down, I am certain that this is not an issue with my code.

I have experienced this issue twice already, starting new strategy files and then finding that they won't plot anymore after I shut down and come back.

Can you post such a script that does not plot after a restart, or send it to Support?

jcl:
Actually, thanks to Sphins suggestion to this question , adding the following to the top of the run routine fixed the issue here as well:


See the topic I linked to for a code snippet that causes trouble without the above command.

Any chance Zorro could make the "PL_ALL" mode the default behavior?
I just figure - when a user goes through the trouble of typing in a plot command, it is sensible to expect Zorro to actually execute it, right? Having to add an extra non-trivial configuration command to the Zorro script to tell Zorro that you ABSOLUTELY CERTAINLY want to see the plots you just asked for is a bit silly. Would you agree?

In any case, in my humble opinion Zorro would be much more noob friendly if extra commands were required to *hide* certain plots, instead of to *display* them.

Arguably, but we don't want to change the default behavior, for obvious reasons.

- There has been a report of a wrong FXCM DLL in one of the release versions. Please check that your FXCM DLL has a file date of October 6, 2017. If you have a different version, please download and install Zorro again. Different versions were for beta test only.
