I am still trying to figure out this reinvesting thing. I have Zorro S subscription and using the Z12 system.

So the only things I can change is MMax = 100 option in the z12.ini or the Margin slider. Obviously I cannot change any square roorts or script bec Z12 code is not available.

I know the first response to this post will be "read the manual" but I've been reading the manual and am not a programmer or coder nor mathematician. So trying to figure out whats the simplistic way to calculate to make ZorroS Z12 system re-invest the gains going forward. for example if the account doubles then I am assuming the Z12 system should be trading double the lots it was trading initially. If this is already how it works then ill wait for it, if it has to be tweaked then I need to know how in easy to follow directions.

I have been reading the following manual pages

http://zorro-trader.com/manual/en/zsystems.htm
http://zorro-trader.com/manual/en/kelly.htm

There is a mention of modifying the Z12.fac file and OptimalF parameter column in there for the asset.

What I am saying is there is no clear instructions with easy to follow examples for the technically challenged.

Can anyone please give me a easy to follow example. I will write an example and you can expand on that to save you time...

What I have:
ZorroS running Z12 system
initial capital $5000
FXCM US Account

My Settings:
Z12.ini
NFA = 1
FXOnly = 1
MMax = 100
Phantom = 0
Comma = 0
Mute = 1
Weekend = 2
Verbose = 2
BrokerPatch = 0
Preload = 0

**
Margin = 35
Risk = 10
Panic = 0
***

not sure if I should upload the z12.fac or z12.par files here.

So here is what I am trying to solve or get an answer to:
1: lets say I run this system with above settings till the balance on account goes to $10000, meaning it doubled from 5000 to 10000. now I want to make sure the system re-invests the profits. so what do I change? do I change anything in the z12.ini? do I move the margin slider around? or do nothing its all taken card of? what do I do? thanks,

KK
