Hello all, I've been having an ongoing issue while running Zorro that I can't figure out. There seems to be a discrepancy between what Zorro is presenting as my Equity & Profit/Losses and Reality. I ran a Live Z7 system in the fall of last year but pulled out because I was hemorrhaging money while Zorro kept saying it was actually making a profit(???)

After that I started a Z7 DEMO in the beginning of January, and I'm getting the same confusing in-congruence.

I've attached screenshots of the Start & End of this January Demo run to show what I'm talking about. As you can see in the first image, I started with an Equity of $12909.
The second image now shows that I have an Equity of $12664, and yet the next number in the Result Window (the Profit #) is showing a '+33102' ...
I have no idea where this "+33102" is coming from or what it's indicating, because it's pretty clear to me that I've lost Equity considering I started with $12909 and now have $12664... right? Shouldn't that +33102 instead be -245?

Now I should point out I do have a BALANCE of ~$14931 in my account, but I still don't understand how "+33102" would work with that Balance number?

I've been running all my stuff on Mt4 from an FxChoice account.


So what am I missing? Is it something obvious that I just am totally ignorant about(am I just being an idiot)? or is there something wrong with my broker's API? or something else?

Thanks for any Help!

Thank you!

I'm still around, work keeps me bound, but I try to find free time to continue my game projects. Not sure anyone would remember me, ha~

Always~

Hi everybody.

Iam working just for fun on some "cross over sandbox" project.
I played a lot xbox One the last days and felt to start some project, without the preasure of making a new game.
Playing around and testing some stuff, having fun with acknex.

For now iam really happy with the results of the last weekend...



First of all i made a basic 3rd person controller. The camera already takes care of obstacles and moves.
For collisions (except of cars) cube models are used with the passable mesh attached.
Later i want the player to be able switching between different characters.
Also cars are functional already. I based my work on the great Knights on Wheels demo.
Fuel, damage, smoke and other stuff implemented. It was very funny to setup and enter different cars in my own acknex project
It took a while to script it, but now its fun.

The hud i took from DeadTaste (my old 1st person/topdown project...maybe this script becomes deadtaste v3).
Compass is from ver1. So i guess hud will look like energy ammo and fuel stuff.
The speed display is still from Knights of wheels demo.

The map / terrain is pretty big. For now its just flat with some hills, not much done. But already tested
the full size with plants and trees via a seed map with good 60fps in fullscreen. So far so nice. Maybe next
we ill invest some further work on the map lets see.


Here you can see some beta wip of the cars in Action

I also played around with a weather system. For now script can randomly produce really bad weather, rain or
a sunny day. Day night change working ok for now too. On bad weather or in deep night player cant see very
far. Rain takes influence on the car behaviour ( grip ).
Normally it starts raining after the clouds came etc. but it started randomly to rain while i took the video

Maybe ill work on this project further. Of course, like always, in the Zombie direction. Some kind of open world
zombie project.

Thanks to 3run i have nice explosions. I combined them with my ragdoll-force-apply-script. Now cars can fly
away from explosions. But still working on this no vid yet.
Crashing other stuff already works. Trees and rocks using the physic sleep function when not active.

edit: Because of the bad res of the Videos you may hardly see the rain
edit2: Would be nice if somebody could tell me or give me an example how to get more textures in terraintex3 shader.

Greets to everyone!

Look for SV_STATS:

Feel free to ask any questions! :>

I'd like to use SPX options historical data to backtest a simple strategy of buying 3x weekly Mon, Wed, Fri expiration options at 1 standard deviation from ITM.

Which Zorro script should I start with as a template to hack around with?

And what structure do I need for the historical data - all strike prices per day, or only closing price per day? Do I also need historical delta, theta, IV etc? Is there a sample data set at Zorro that I should use for this?

Many thanks!

Thanks for your response I figured it out by moving the camera and key inputs to separate functions and using the proc_client command, camera and controls move independently on client machines now

//Player 1
proc_client(me, MP1_CAM); //camera
proc_client(me, MP1_KEY); //keyboard controls

//Player 2
proc_client(me, MP2_CAM); //camera
proc_client(me, MP2_KEY); //keyboard controls

I'd like to cast a vote for a solution in the MT4 bridge, to prevent mix up of comments and magic #'s when trading multiple strategies.

Thank you.

Cool. Thank you

Declare global series() and fill them in run() using TimeFrame then access them in tick() [Assuming you are after for closed bar values].

Oh, I should have been more specific. I meant a link that is can use to get initial free zorro s subscription
