New free Zorro version for automated trading

Version 1.22 of the free Zorro platform was released last week and can be downloaded from http://zorro-trader.com.

The MT4 bridge now supports MT4 version 600 and above. The Multisession plugin allows to trade simultaneously with multiple brokers, instances, and accounts. A new Virtual Hedging mode can combine trades opened on the same bar to a single net trade. Several new indicators have been added to the library. Strategies can now be analyzed with Monte Carlo methods. A script for converting .csv price history files to Zorro's .bar format was added. There are new plot functions and new features for trade management. And last but not least, all "Z" systems have been retrained and improved.

Zorro is a free trading strategy development system and platform. It can run either stand-alone or as an attachment to MetaTrader4. In the latter case it overcomes all the shortcomings of MetaTrader and converts it to a serious platform for developing, testing, and running automated strategies. Zorro also contains several ready-to-run autotrading systems with live annual returns of more than 150%.

Here's a comparison table of Zorro 1.22 vs. TradeStation™ vs. Metatrader™: http://zorro-trader.com/faq.php

New version: Zorro 1.24!

1. Virtual Hedging Mode now minimizes the number of open trades by closing trades partially if required.
2. exitLong/Short can now close trades partially.
3. TrailSpeed raises the stop faster before breakeven, this way preventing that a winning trade turns back into a loser.
4. The Hurst exponent can determine trending state of a price curve.
5. The predict function can predict crossovers several bars before they happen.
6. The saveStatus/loadStatus functions can preserve variables, open trades, and slider positions when the system is stopped or
7. While trading, Zorro now displays a detailed lists of open trades and performance statistics in a HTML file that is updated every minute.

As usual, Zorro can be free downloaded from http://zorro-trader.com.

Seems like a useful tool considering it can do Walk Forward Analysis and is free. It's community is very welcoming too. The idea that they convey in their website is ambitious but achievable. There is a link in the previous post. I recommend you to take a look.

The post seems like a commercial but it really is not. I have been looking at software for doing WFA, and being a student at a university, I don't have much to spend on tools and platforms, thus Zorro trader seemed like a gift from forex gods .

Seems there's a $179 fee for set up with mt4 and vps. Then 5 uros per month.
Can you provide proof on myfxbook.com that your trading strategies are profitable at 150% per year or more? Paris

No, we do not have any trading strategies on myfxbook. If you're looking for a get-rich-quick robot: you can find tons of them on many websites, and certainly many with "proofs" that you will get 150% per year. Zorro is not a robot, but a software for data analysis and strategy development.

- Zorro version 1.30 was released last month. Among many other new features for system development and testing, it now supports trading with time frames down to 100 ms. The new version is free and can be downloaded from http://zorro-trader.com.

A lot has happened and the Zorro platform has grown a lot since I last posted here. The current Zorro version is 2.12. It is meanwhile quite different to the early versions and got a focus on machine learning and trading with neural network strategies, but is still free.
