Hi everyone

In the Z12 strategy, I'm confused about how margin and risk interact to determine lot size and stop loss. I've read the 'Margin' and 'Risk' sections of the manual, but I can't quite ge my head around it.

Wouldn't you only need either margin or risk to determine lot size for a given stop loss? Why does Z12 use both?

Thanks in advance

The 'Risk' slider is indeed not really needed. It limits the risk of a single trade, but I don't think that this is a very important feature. You can normally leave it at 10. The maximum loss of a trade is then 10 times its margin.

Thanks for the reply, jcl. Much less confused now!

In Zorro 1.20, Z5, S, the stop slider is set up by default at 10.000. It applies the same rule as above that it limits the risk of a single trade?

If one would like to change the stop to higher value, how to do it? or it is not necessary...
