So, a week has passed and Z1fx has not made a single trade. Not one! cry

I've now started it again, but I wonder, is it time to panic?

Using default parameters (margin 50, risk 10).

Hi,
this AM the $200 micro live account with the script

Z2fx,240,5,10,0

in addition to [USD/CHF:AT:S]Skipped - Margin 1 Min 3

has reported this messsage:

[EUR/USD:BB:S]Skipped:Total Margin 0

Pls consider that there were no open position prior to this message.
Does it depend on the stop loss that, in this specific situation, is too big to manage?
And so everything is ok and it needs only a bigger account?
Sorry for this silly questions.

Thanks in advance.

The "skipped" message means that the trade was not opened due to too-low margin. This is normal - you can read about it in the manual.

When you set the margin very low, you get only few trades. Higher margin allows more trades.

What margin to use if there are no trades (Z1fx) with margin = 50?

Perfect, I understand. In order to allow the program to open more positions, I will increase both the capital and the margin. Thanks a lot.

Do you get a "skipped" message or no message at all?

No "skipped" messages. I only get stuff like this:

[701: 11.03. 08:02] 1.3006
[702: 11.03. 12:02] 1.3008

It went like that the whole past week, and no trades were triggered. I tried to find the exact log of the last week run and paste it here, but I don't see one in Log folder.
