Did some first tests on live trading.

It behaved... err... slightly weirdly.

Wrote up simple strategy, hit the trade button.

Lost couple bucks on fees cause it rapidly re-opened trades.

Think that was cause of faulty script.

Anyhow. What I'm interested in is the next observed behavior.

I hit the trade button, Zorro opens a trade, swears about inability to close trade it just opened and writes something about NFA flag.
And pretty much gets stuck.

So I did read help. Got some mild understanding of what NFA is.

Set the flag, trades goes smoothly and I'm lowkey impressed with Zorro's robustness.
Even profited a bit.

But the thing is - with NFA flag Zorro skips chances to trade both directions simultaneously.

Trading on Binance Futures. AFAIK it does allow trading in both directions simultaneously. I ain't based in US.

Anyone got some information on what's happening? Feels like NFA shouldn't be a necessity.

Binance Futures requires the NFA flag, since its API only uses an Orders interface (traditional style) and not a Trades interface (MT4 forex style).

To solve your issue, set Hedge = 5.

Thank you again, Andrew!

One more... If you got time.

Now Zorro fails to start trading altogether.
Apparently attempts to load history since Crucifixion.

Had this previously. Unsure what exactly helped.
I know I rebuilt history t6 altogether with today's data.
Somehow it just started trading again.

Does that mean I will need to rebuild t6 every time I want to start trading?

What exactly is this behavior? Any ideas?

Mentions invalid expression but that one is not in strategy script as testing completes successfully.

Hmm... Decreased Lookback from 300 to 200.

Guess that helped.

Message spam stopped, looks like it's waiting for an entry.

I'm utterly broke at the moment. Can't afford Zorro S. ^_^

Hopefully someday.

It's definitely an impressive piece of software.

Okay, with regular Zorro you can use partial closing with exitLong instead. Or enter in the opposite direction to reverse your position.

Currently got opposite direction entries with ATR based, dominant cycle tied TPs/SLs.

Your style of trading will require Hedge=5 unless you can rewrite your trading logic to match what I described with partial closing. Basically, you’d need to manually manage each position.

Will keep that in mind.

Now I just observed totally weird behavior.

It didn't stop the trade. 700 PIPs lost.

0.6 of whatever period ATR has to be tighter than that.
