When I watch a graph to where the Zorro EA is attached to, a trade which was opened during the previous MT4 session has no arrow sign (short entry in this case). Only today's short exit/long entry has one. The good thing however is, is that Zorro is able to close a position from a formal session. With my sample script (see page 1) this wasn't possible.

Here's Zorro's output during the start of this week's session: Quote [EUR/USD::S67148] - resumed (1 lots) Last edited by Grant; 04/18/22 14:05.

In case it's only a visual flaw, than I don't mind at all. I still find it odd that a couple of early exit attempts in this week's new session failed without any error messages.

I just ran my test script again (please see 'TestCloseAllTrades' on page #1) with the same Zorro output (other than some new positions) as a result. There was no recent activity in my MT4 log at all. So basically, the exitLong() & exitShort() commands are being completely ignored and I wonder why. Last edited by Grant; 04/19/22 07:00.
