DDlv, Yes, sometimes up to 4 or 5 orphaned trades in one day. I would say at its worst about 30% of trades were orphaned. Interestingly my broker sent out an email about upgrades they were doing to their MT4 support infrastructure to overcome network outages. Since the upgrades, which was about a month ago, I have had 1 orphaned trade (today). From probably 5 per week to 1 per month overnight. I had planned to change to IB with the new API before that, but now I will stick with them.

RTG, when I say orphaned trades, I am referring to a trade that is opened in MT4 by zorro, but somehow MT4 and zorro have different trade numbers for it, and zorro immediately loses control over the trade. If you don't catch it early by comparing your trade numbers, later down the track you get the message from zorro stating "cannot close this trade" etc.

Hope this helps
