The beta is not out yet. But if it's a showstopper, we can send you an interim version that you can use at your own risk. Please contact us under support (at) 3dgamestudio.net - we can send you a download link in the next days.

Sure, that will work just as well. I'm still in demo mode, so no problem.

Hi,
Im running Zorro 24/7 via a Virtual Server on a FXCM Demo Account. From the limited time running it looks like the best results are achieved with Z1 and Z2 running simultaneously.
My Question: What would the capital required for both Z1+Z2 running together? I guess its not capital(Z1)+capital(Z2) since i understand often if one performs poor the other does well; but Im not sure of that. Is there a formula by which the combined capital required could be estimated?

The capital for Z1+Z2 is almost identical to the capital for Z1, as both systems are anticorrelated. But the license conditions do not allow you to trade several systems at the same time with the free version. You must decide for one of them. You can only trade both when you purchase a Zorro S license.

I can confirm that 1.10beta fixes this issue for me and will finally let me both demo trade and develop my own strategies on the same machine with 2 zorro instances. Thank you for your work!

Do you need to open a second demo account to get a different set of used ID & password? If so, will the same broker allow you to have multiple demo accounts?

Normally yes. We have multiple demo accounts with many brokers and no broker had objected so far.

If you have two windows machines (or VM's), you can even use the same demo account for two instances that run different stuff. That's what I do.

Although, I see some serious limitations now. After some weeks of demo trading, I'm about back to even. But, if I now wanted to see which of the strategies did better (and I strongly suspect Z1fx), I don't see a way. frown Zorro doesn't keep the log of all trades (or I'm unable to find it?) and FXTS2 doesn't care which of the instances executed trades, they're all same to it.

I think I'll have to stop demoing Z2fx, and proceed with Z1fx only. Otherwise this is just too complex to evaluate.

We have no FX-only accounts running at the moment, but many Z1 and Z2 accounts. From them, Z2 is normally better, but it might be different with FX only. The logs should be not too hard to find, as they are in the "Logs" folder.
