I think the answer is here https://zorro-project.com/manual/en/trading.htm

Set capital to 0

The default multiplier for forex is 1000, however I would like to change to 100000. I tried changing it in the AssetsFix, and also set it as Multiplier = 100000 in the script, but it is still 1000. Any idea how to fix it?

Hi everyone,

I tried to test the Scholz Brake and noticed that it is not used in Test mode but only in Trade mode.
May I asked why it is only available for Trading?
Actually I would like to compare the performance implications during backtesting a Z strategy if trading is suspended by hitting the brake.

Another question about the Scholz tax: In the manual is stated that the formula is: (gross win - 10000) * 0,26375.
To my knowledge, the tax begins at 20000€ and not 10000€. Am I wrong, or why 10000€?
Btw. with gross win is gross win/loss meant, isn't it?

Ciao

1) Double casts to int, so it's not wrong, so long as you don't need floating point values.

Here are my changes (latest revision) if anyone wants to fix this in the Zorro distribution: https://gist.github.com/alun/91538e...b9a8d00cab61bc11379c13ff2f4e3fbd452aR300

Only Windows. Technically I think you can run games on Linux as well if you use the Proton compatibility layer.

For consoles you must definitely use modem engines with console support and you must also be an approved developer.

I think Gamestudio might still be useful for some of its tools if you want to create BSP-style maps (like Quake) with the level editor or low poly models with the model editor. You can also export the levels and models to more widespread formats (using another tool like Fragmotion as a converter). These can then be used in other game engines as well. This style was used in a couple of fun games over the last couple of years (Ultrakill, Dusk).

On the other hand, you can find similar tools like J.A.C.K. or Trenchbroom or Milkshape3D, UltimateUnwrap, Fragmotion and don't really need Gamestudio for this.

Since Gamestudio is a 32 bit engine you are limited in memory. You can't load gigabytes of textures and
high polygon assets. It is also limited to Direct X9, so no newer features of Direct X11 can be used.

It can definitely have it's charm if you want to display something up to the graphical level of the Wii, Xbox360, Playstation 3 era.

I would call it a vintage engine by now.

For the purpose of displaying long script and asset name.

Thanks!

Hi, when I run the Z13 strategy with the selling naked put option, the option was several time every day exercised by the buyer. i have noticed, that the proposed option to sell has negative extrinsic value, so it seems to me the buyer can theoretically win by exercising the put option immediately and selling the underlying (especially some big traders with low fees). The run of Z13 :

--------------------------
[146: Tue 23-05-16 00:00] 412.35/412.35\412.35/412.35 -0.01

--------------------------

The value of 442 Put is just 29,09 with the SPY market price 412,45 , I assume for the buyer it is possible to excersize imediately and have 46 USD brutto profit ?

Should not be there some check in the Z13 strategy to avoid selling options that have zero or negative extrinsic value ?

This attempt is not only once, but twice doomed to fail. First, your script sends no limit order - for limit orders you need to set OrderLimit. But HFT simulation disables anyway all trade parameters and only enters directly at the most recent quote.

Thanks for the help. I had already solved it, however I will take into account your recommendation on the preference of local variables over global.
