I believe the default asset list has CFDs with leverage 100. So you should get similar values as in the manual for a 1:100 account.

If you get wrong profit values, check especially PIPCost and MarginCost. When they are wrong, the profit is also wrong.

Thanks Johann.

Hi Lozoteva,

What I meant was the z.ini file, the one in the strategy folder. This configuration file has some very useful parameters to modify Z Strategies behavior. But it is irrelevant to the problem you face.

I took your Asset file and ran the backtest on my system, with my history data. Results are also astronomical, basically identical to yours. So, you are right the key is hidden in the asset file.

The next result is from the default AssetFix - leverage 100 on all assets . These results are basically what you expect. The same results you get with your Asset file, with leverage set to 100 for all assets .

I have rechecked PIPCosts in all used Asset files, and no matter what lot size etc., the values are correct. My conclusion is, that the difference is indeed just due to the 500 leverage.

Concerning the way out, you have more options. If you keep your premium leverage account, then just adjust the capital slider to scale the back-test results to the 100 reference results.

Thank you so much hast29.... yes it's all about the leverage.
I also touched base with Zorro Support and they reassured me that the .csv file looks good and the results depend on the leverage and the initial investment.
And yes the capital slider as you said needs to be tunes as well.
Now I have all the picture way clearer than before.
Again thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.
Have a nice day

Another thing that probably contributes to this is your commission values. I read on the manual that commission is calculated per 10000 contracts. So I suppose the proper commission value would be $7*1000 /10000 = $0.7. (I'm assuming we have the same case of $7 commission per trade)

I tested this by using a demo account by comparing the status window of Zorro and MT4 (since I'm using Global Prime) and tradetest and they match.
