I have 2 questions about setting up OANDA asset list for Z systems. Thanks in advance!

(1) The leverages shown in AssetsOanda.csv range from 50 to 100. However, when I set up the practice account, the highest leverage I can select is 50. In addition, it seems there is tighter regulatory leverage requirement from NFA, mostly ranging from 20 to 50: https://www.oanda.com/resources/legal/united-states/legal/margin-rates

Question: do I need to manually change the AssetsOanda.csv file "Leverage" column to match the tightest requirement, and clear "MarginCost" column so Zorro will calculate margin cost automatically? Or can I leave them unchanged - I guess Zorro might get these info from the OANDA API?

(2) Document says default asset list is AssetsFix.csv unless script specifies a different asset list. Do I need to manually make a copy of AssetsOanda.csv and rename it to AssetsFix.csv? Or does the Z system script automatically select the asset list according to the broker selected?

Thanks!

Zorro reads the margin cost directly from the Oanda API. The leverage is then calculated from the margin cost. It can be different for different assets.

Except for Z8, the Z systems do not automatically switch asset lists. So for backtesting an Oanda account you must enter "AssetsOanda.csv" in the Assetlist line, or the name of the asset list that you've created for your account.

Hi jcl,

Appreciate the help. It works now per your instruction. I also found out about Accounts.csv in the manual and recorded my demo account settings there including the assets list - very convenient feature. Thanks!
