The Zorro manual say under "Running multiple Zorros": "If the parallel trading Zorros use different broker APIs, set the NOLOCK flag for speeding up API access. ..." What does "use different broker APIs" mean? Does it mean different User-Names? Or what? Best Regards mcteilchen

I use zorro on the same API (OANDA) but I had to use two different accounts to prevent conflicting trades. Each zorro instance is running on it's own account. That was the only way I was able to run two different z systems. My zorro set up is account one zsystem 1 and account 2 zsystem2.
