Another.

There is a 3@119.936 USD/JPY open in the account. So I guess it did go through. I can't tell whether to manually close it. What do you think?

Anyway, you asked for Verbose diag stuff. I hope this helps you diagnose the issue.

All fine in your diags as far as I see. Orphaned trades must always be manually closed.

Zorro should have a dedicated mode where it aggressively closes trades that don't belong to the current strategy, and naturally repeatedly attempts to close its own orphan positions. It should just always try to align the net positions in the account with the strategy's intentions.

This might lead to chaos if one trades more than one strategy on one account. But maybe a switch could be a solution.

I can't really trade two strats in an NFA mode account anyway

There is no real solution for orphaned trades.

The FXCM API has internal lists of opened and rejected trades. A trade becomes orphaned when Zorro opens one, but it does not appear in either of the two lists. So Zorro does not know if it was opened or rejected, and does not have its trade ID. Without trade ID, Zorro can not close the trade. This must be done manually. You could theoretically read the ID on the FXCM platform and enter it manually in Zorro, but that would obviously make not much sense.

The FXCM API is the only API that I know where such a situation can happen, apparently due to a bug.

That's terrible!
Thanks for the explanation.

I also have the orphaned trade entrys in my logs.
I have trades open but can't see which trade is now orphaned. Where can I get a list of trades which Zorro handles? The 'Result' TAb doesn't help...


I also would vote for updating the ugly Zorro GUI. I really would like to see more info when I take a direct glance at the GUI.

PS: I set verbose to 3 and restarted Z. I see no other way of getting the info I need.
