I tried trading Z1fx & Z2fx simultaneously with two Zorro instances on the same account, but it definitely doesn't work because I get Error 052: Broker interface busy when trying to start trading in the 2nd instance. Tested and can confirm this happens with both old & new (just released) FXCM.dll
I also have a lockup of the 2nd Zorro instance when doing WFA in it, while the first one is trading. It runs upto 6: 0482 (or so) and then freezes (stops responding). Have to kill it. And it is repeatable, always locks up at the same counter.

2GB virtual Win7. But, it's not memory exhaustion, I fired up Task manager as soon as I got the first freeze, and later confirmed that memory usage never goes above 600MB, with 2 instances running. Scripts that I ran are Z1fx & Z2fx, I believe that I tried both combinations (aka Z1fx Trading, Z2fx Test and vice versa) and in both cases I finished with one Zorro frozen (the one that run WFA).
No extra messages, the window just freezes in the middle of the WFA run, it has "WFA Zorro... (Not Resp...)" in title, and when I try to close it, Windows popup comes up telling me that application is not responding, offering to kill it. Also it is not CPU bound when frozen, just plain not responding...
Just to make it clear, this is not a showstopper for me, I'll run WFA in another VM, no problem. I reported this just so that you know there's something fishy goin' on when running 2 instances.

Nice to see that you care. Here's a small screencast that might help. http://www.screencast.com/t/CUpyUiJ18Yeah, I lied , 600MB is with one instance, 2 instances are closer to 1GB RAM usage. But, still no problem for a 2GB VM.

Just to make it clear, this is not a showstopper for me, I'll run WFA in another VM, no problem. I reported this just so that you know there's something fishy goin' on when running 2 instances. Actually, this problem has now become showstopper for me. I'm now demoing both Z1fx & Z2fx 24/7, have read the manuals & tutorials in the meantime, and would like to write and test my own scripts now. But, having only 2 VM's, it would mean stopping one of the strategies running, which would be a shame. Do you have an ETA for the next update? Is the bug fixed in the beta version? If it is, may I join the beta program?
