Z axis torch initially going up instead of down when clicking cycle start

Sorry Snowwy, i should have also mentioned that on all my other machines (probably 20? Plasma's) positive limit is at 0, and the example above was for very old PlasmaC, not QtPlasmaC.
On "my Red" machine (my refers to the one i use often, not the rest of them), i still use old PlasmaC and new QtPlasmaC, as my clients have both types in use so i can not afford to forget how to use them, technical support being the main reason, and testing new versions being the other reason, as you can notice if you watch my videos on youtube, different PC's and laptops but always the same red machine.
I am also sorry for not helping more, but as i mentioned several times by now on the forum, work has plummeted badly, been probably over 5 months without turning the machines on.

No apology is necessary!

Sorry the work is plummeting. I do think there are WAY fewer people making plasma tables as compared to when this part of the project was in its prime. I wonder what the cause is. Part of me thinks people have moved on to laser since it's become more affordable.

Yes, exactly, here the government payed 15K Euro to china for everyone working with metal that applied for the grant to buy a laser and they added the rest, so basically killed off my business completely.
Not the only business, so i was not worried ... till the PC market went bananas with prices skyrocketing, so no more PC builds for now, and in the near future by the looks of it.
3D printing business was not that active, but occasionally it would bring nice revenue from people with bitcoin miners that needed cooling adapters...
I am ranting again ... sorry.

It is scary because laser is FAR more dangerous, and the videos I see online of the home built stuff shows that people are not taking that danger very seriously at all. Mayyyybe they have the correct safety glasses, but I feel bad for anyone who walks unknowingly into the area when the machine is operating.

Ok so I got it fixed by finding some settings in my notes that worked. So basically I entered these settings to the Z axis.
 
Now the torch still goes up initially but it doesnt hit the limit and it cuts just fine.
 
Im not entirely sure how these changes fixed my machine.

If you want, you can post a backup of your config here, and I'll take a look at.

Your Z axis limit switch is at the top of travel right?
