Looking for more projects!

Awesome results!

I wanted to share my obstacle avoidance (no pathfinding) for my current project (clickable image).


Best regards.

I run z12 on both a real and a demo acc. Each account trades on a different VPS.

FXCM is the broker.

I recently started both and noticed that the trades are way too small relative to what I had normally.

I checked the assets.csv file in the log golder and noticed that the margin cost is shown way to high.
Interestingly the Demo acc shows higher Margin cost than the Real acc.
I set the Broker patch to "0" in the z.ini file. Still the same.

How come the trade sizes are so low and does it have to do with the assets.csv list or the Brokerpatch setting?
Z12 trades 5k and 7k tickets on a 50k demo acc with 25k capital slider. This seems very low given that with a 12k capital slidee setting, tickets used to be 10 times higher.


A side question on leverage.
Recently, FXCM reduced my leverage on FX from 1:400 to 1:100. If I dowmload the AssetsFXCM list (via "Assetlist"), will it be updated accordingly with the new Margin requirements? And can I run a backtest and determine the required capital based off of that? In other words, will the backtest take into account the new lower leverage?

Thank you!

It means (if i understand right) that if i do this:

my_array[2] = 3000.0003;

The internal value of my_array[2] is 3000.00024414 ?

And that is why (3000.0003 (real 3000.00024414) - my_array[2] (real 3000.00024414)) == 0 ?

That helped me a bit:

I think I got it (in parts), I have to admit that I have some knowledge gaps in this area. I keep reading about it, and while I'm doing this i can see why i never had problems with it. I always set a precision (like in R options(digits = 12)) and round to the accuracy i need, and i normally never do this if (double == double) without rounding.


Why is R not adding anything until digits >= 17? Or better: Why is the value in C-Lite 3000.00024414 and in R 3000.0003>>00000000<< up to digits = 16?

How can i influence this in C-lite? Because at this point rounding(3000.00024414, to 4 digits) will result in 3000.0002, not 3000.0003 - and in R that works fine?

Many thanks for helping me with that basic stuff!

Good question, I do not know if I can repeat the issue. There was one time where I was still connected, but every single GET_POSITION in my stock portfolio was returning 0 when there should have been positions. At least I think I was connected.

I will see if it comes up again.

Thank you, but if you want to report something about the manual, please use the current version. Otherwise it's difficult to see what you are talking about.

https://manual.zorro-project.com/ticktime.htm

Asset order matters - read here why and when:

https://manual.zorro-project.com/asset.htm

You select an asset with the asset() function.

Thanks Andrew. You are right, I was not intending to pass any argument to the TMF. Yes, I was wondering if I could specify trade entry parameters as well as make a call to my MyTMF in one single command.

Thanks, I will continue to set them separately.

To enter a pool trade not in tick() but later, I would simply sum up the lots in tick() and then enter later the trade.

Hi Team:

When your Zorro is selected as the current Advisor in MT4, are you able to test it using the MT4 strategy test like you would any other advisor? Just curious as I have never used MetaTrader before.

Thanks for your input.

Yes, that is very interesting. If too many parameters for the "Chinese compiler" is still an issue, I wonder if using MSVC with Zorro S could fix the problem? But yes, we need clarification from jcl or one of the Zorro engineers.

I could include data if it would help, but probably I should be making a support request if it comes to that.

So I set Verbose = 7 | DIAG as in the first suggestion, and there is something strange in the logs:

In the first bar after the lookback period, bar 481, we can see that the short position is skipped because it is outside the range 481..480. This looks like a bug in Zorro to me, but I'm just a newbie at Zorro.

I appear to have an issue with Trailing Stop when using IB broker.

Trailing stop setup in the code:

Trail = optimize(5,5,10)*ATR(100);
TrailLock = optimize(50,50,95);

Please review the log file below. There were two trades opened on EUR/USD recently. Both with Trailing stops and TrailLocks.
For one trade, the trailing stop was set to 1.11305, (highlighted at bold below) and 10 mins later the stop was triggered and closed the trade at 1.11027. 1.11027 should not have triggered the stop and the price was nowhere near 1.11305 where the stop was.

Note, that I am running the same script with FXCM broker and this issue did not appear on that account.
