I'm having the same problem - I'm US customer on a presumably US Demo account. Going to call FXCM and see what's up. Will post outcome.

Called FXCM and they pretty much told me to F*$ck off. So now I'm in the FXCM says contact the software maker, software maker says contact the broker loop.
One possible question/cause. I have trade station on my iPad, and the last time I re-opened it - instead of opening at the login screen, it just basically reconnected with my stored credentials. I know from experience with other platforms, if you log into a web interface, it forces you to log out of other (MT4, Mobile) access methods. I can't be certain of the timing, but I'm wondering if FXCM maintained the connection and locked out Zorro from executing.
I logged off with iPad, and as I wrote this - I got another "Cant Close message", so that isn't the cause. So much for that theory.
So at this point - I'm non-functional - seems like I can open positions, but can't close them with Zorro. Any suggestions, other than call FXCM, because they were pretty un-helpful.
Thanks,

FXCM meanwhile confirmed to us that the reason is indeed the US account. Closing a position is not permitted on US accounts, again due to that NSA compliance rule. You have to open an opposite position instead. So it's easy to work around, but we'll have to provide a special broker plugin for US accounts so that you can use the exitLong/Short function for this. This solution will be implemented soon in one of the next Zorro versions. Inbetween, check if you can open a non-US account on http://www.fxcm.co.uk (NOT fxcm.com) - that would allow you to trade with the current version. You can recognize a non-US account from the ability to trade CFDs.
