Zorro 1.30 available for download

A new Zorro version was released:

http://server.conitec.net/down/Zorro_setup.exe

A description of the new features can be found here:

http://manual.zorro-trader.com/new.htm

Please also read the part about updating your system. With a Zorro S license you can now use T1 data for the backtest.

The included Z systems work with the free version and with Zorro S. Z system subscribers will receive new Z3 or Z12 versions later today.

Here are some T1 price archives for tick-based backtests:

Thanks jcl!! Your work is great!

Hi, I am ZorroS subscriber,
I have not received any communication regarding the new version.

Thank You

We send out news emails about new versions when they become available on the download page - that will be next week. Currently 1.30 is only available here on the forum.

ok, thank you

JCL.

I'am running 1.26 with Z12. Is there any need to upgrade to 1.30?

If you're not doing anything with Zorro but running Z12, it depends on your current win/loss situation. The data set for 1.26 is rather outdated meanwhile, so it's possible that it's going to deteriorate sooner or later. Then you should upgrade. For developing own systems, upgrade definitely.

Thanks JCL. Looking at the current situation of my Z12 I will definitely upgrade.

We've just noticed that the 1.30 update contained an old factor file for the Z12 system.

We've just uploaded a fixed version, but if you've already downloaded it, just copy the file "Data\Z12test.fac" to "Data\Z12.fac", thus overwriting the old file. The file "Data\Z12test.fac" is the new file that should be used for trading.

Okay. Done. Hope now that Z12 recovers. :-)

1.30 keeps crashing on me.

any idea what it could be?

kk

Do you have Microsoft Security Essentials installed?

Yes, "keeps crashing" sounds like a malware problem. Do not start any more programs, delete the Zorro folder and run a thorough virus scan. Afterwards you can install 1.30 again.

Zorro is a compressed exe, so a virus infection would likely lead to a crash.

New version 1.30.1:

http://server.conitec.net/down/Zorro_setup.exe

This version has 3 changes: slippage is simulated more accurately, invalid start/end dates now produce error messages, and a bug with a file write error on starting a trade session was fixed.

Hi all.

Has anyone gone live, Real $, yet with 1.30? Any problems?

1.28 Z12 has really been struggling... Trying to decide if I should risk 1.30 over this weekend...

Thanks.

I am live from friday. one trade won +3€. I can not say more regarding performance.
A nice improvement in the Z12 Trading Status much better with an equity graphs. Unfortunately non differentiated by each strategy (or at least I can not see yet).

It seems an overall performance improvement on trading speed with Mt4 bridge. In 1.28 I often see message like Zorro not responding and than back to normal. Never happened with 1.30.

So far so good

Hi.

I'am also live since a week. At least it's running without any problems/errors.

I've waited over a week, but no email notifying me of the update. I too am a subscriber.

SpamFolder?

Nope. Odd!
