I don't wan't to interference with the strategy in that way. Now it's already to late to handle price wen't up.

Just a short post. Z12 won't do much trading since a few weeks.

07.10 GER30
07.10 USDCHF
02.10 USDCHF
17.09 USDCAD


So only 4 trades in a month. I have 3600€ at this account and it is the required capital. I think it is the market which only steps sideways!?

I did a train on Z12 on 7.10.13.

The same day Z12 made its last trade.

@JCL: Can you see from the FAC/PAR file if there is something wrong??

would be a laugh if there is a problem...

I just renamed the trained files and copied the original Z12.par and FAC file from 2.8.2013 into the data folder.

Now I'am on the safe side and will see if there will be trades within the next days...

Hi Sundance,

your FAC file is definitely wrong. All lines begin with .000, so Zorro doesn't make any trade. I would suggest you to retrain the strategy or use the original files.

Thanks Chaos,

I haven't looked at the file structure. Many thanks for the info! It's really essential to read the whole manual every day.

then I wonder why the train made those .000 values...


LOL. 5 Minutes later Z12s did take two trades. OMG. Three weeks of waiting for the train which would never come :-|

I sometimes think that my Z12 is making far too few trades as well. Can you do me a favour and post the correct pac file contents like you did for you faulty one above. I want to see if my VPS Zorro is running with the correct input data.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: My Z12.fac has many many more rows than yours. Eg, EURUSD has about 30 rows, one for each algo and trade direction. About half are 0.00, but there are plenty that are not. Interesting learn about this side of things.

EDIT AGAIN: Don't worry about it. I am satisfied that my live zorro is using the correct fac.

Hi DMB,

just came home from running. So you don't need the files anymore?

So i trained Z12 again using the command line option

Zorro.exe -train Z12s
