Is it possible to move Zorro to a different system and resume all trades on the new system? I tried it by first installing zorro on the new system and then copying all files from the old to the new folder, overwriting existing files. It didn't work this way, although it was the newest Zorro on both systems. I thought Zorro was saving the existing trades in the *.trd file?

I suppose with "system" you mean a different PC, not a different trading system.

Read the instructions in the manual about continuing trades. Basically you just need to copy the script and the *.trd file over to the new PC. The rest of the files is irrelevant for continuing trades.

I think he means to move it from between PC's,
assetfix is necessary as well right?

No, AssetFix should not be touched unless you have a particular reason to.

I mean, update it (in a trade day excluding a Wednesday) with the Broker settings

Only when you have already changed it for backtesting your specific account. Not necessary for continuing trades.

If you have modified certain files, such as Z.ini, they should of course also be moved to the new PC.

Wow, so many answers! Thank you! Yes, by system I mean a different computer. I will try again with your instructions.
