The BrokerPatch workaround is still implemented, so you can use it. As to the US30 trade, can you check if it is still open in the FXCM trade list, and if so, if you can close it manually?

Do you know what happened? Are there steps I can take to prevent future similar issues? This could have concerning if the can't close led to an adverse movement of 250 pips instead of the positive movement I experienced.

jcl Chief Engineer Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 27,986 Frankfurt	No, but we have to look into it. As there is no broker error message, Zorro should be able to close the trade through the API. I'll inquire under which circumstances a trade does not close without broker error.

jcl Chief Engineer Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 27,986 Frankfurt	Do you have a demo spreadbetting account for testing? We're interested if US30 can generally not be closed or just this particular trade. You can use the "TradeTest" script for a quick test.

jcl Chief Engineer Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 27,986 Frankfurt	I also think that it does not matter. When you look into your Z12 log file with the FXCM spreadbetting account, have other US30 trades been closed? Or was this the only one so far? Have you any particular Z.ini settings on that Z12 system?
