A new Zorro version was uploaded:

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. This version will stay here for a week and then become the official release if no bug was found.

Subscribers to Zorro S or to a Z system will receive new versions next week.

A slightly newer version:

http://server.conitec.net/down/Zorro_1505.exe

A bug with time zones was fixed in this version.

Version 1504 - cannot attach MT4 bridge. Error
2016.09.13 23:11:21.491 Access violation write to 0x067C80B8

Old version without problem.

MT4 - Build 1010. I'm trying Demo and Real account.

Milan

Parameter STEPWISE not working correct. With STEP is the same like SKIP.

Milan

Thanks for testing! I can confirm the STEPWISE problem, but no MT4 problem. The MT4 bridge is new, so make sure to install the new version. Check also if automated trading is enabled on the MT4 terminal. The access violation error happens when it is not enabled or when a wrong version is installed. If you checked everything and the error still happens, please post again - I'll then would like to look into the Zorro and the MT4 logs.

Hi,

I'm tested:

a) first - from the zorro/ZorroMT4.zip copy files to MQL4/experts and libraries ( delete old)
b) restart MT4
c) first - in the MT4 - enable Autotrading
d) plug zorro.mql EA into graph ( check Allow live trading && AllowDLL Import)
After click the OK ( in EA) get error:

( see att.)

Edit:
--------------
I'm trying in the another MT4 and working without problem.
Is a problem with only one MT4 scrap.

M.

Is the MT4 where it did not work a different version? The current MT4 build is 1010 from Aug 18. I can produce the same error message as in your log when I disable AutoTrading with the button below the menu bar, but not when AutoTrading is enabled.

is a problem only with one installation MT4, with another no problem. Maybe special improvent from broker.

I've uploaded a special ZorroMT4.ex4 version:

http://server.conitec.net/down/Libraries.zip

Can you unzip it into your MQL4/Libraries folder, then start the EA and post the Experts log? This version prints some diagnostics during the initialization.

I have the exact same problem as Grat, and I am 100% certain autotrading is enabled. I re-tested with the .ex4 from the Libraries.zip above. Here is the output in the Experts-tab:

2016.09.15 12:00:10.143 Expert Zorro EURUSD,H4: removed
2016.09.15 12:00:10.143 Zorro EURUSD,H4: uninit reason 8
2016.09.15 12:00:10.143 Zorro EURUSD,H4: not initialized

2016.09.15 12:00:07.787 Expert Zorro EURUSD,H4: loaded successfully

Thanks! Next step: close MT4, then go to your user folder/Appdata/Local/Temp, and look for files with the name "mt4*.sys". Delete those files if some are there. Then start MT4 and the Zorro EA so that it crashes again. Check if a new file with name "mt4*.sys" was created. Upload this file. It contains information that can help determining the problem.

Actually, deleting the .sys-file resolved the problem - at least the particular problem of the Zorro EA immediately unloading after being added.

However, Zorro now complains it cannot initialize the MT4 bridge. Not sure if it is related, but here is the output from Zorro and MT4, as well as the .sys-file (remove .zip, had to add this to allow it being uploaded).

ZORRO:

So,

for my, after delete mt4*.sys now working. I thinking during the install new version must be close MT4 also. This is a my mistake. Becouse I replace mt4 bridge in the opened MT4 scrap.

Milan

Girb: You need an update of your MT4s.dll to version 1.50. This update will be sent to all MT4 subscribers next week when 1.50 becomes the official release. The old MT4s.dll won't work with the new bridge.

Ok, thanks.

I found new potential bug. After starting the train with multicore:



see picture - this is the same overnight - cannot finishing. Still running.

Milan

If your script takes unusually long in multicore training, or if training does not work at all, please send us that script so that we can check what the problem is. You can either upload it here or send it to support (at) opgroup.de.

New version:

http://server.conitec.net/down/Zorro_1506.exe

A bug with WFOPeriod was fixed in this version.

What was affected by the this WFOPeriod bug?
Are testing results of Z systems affected?
Do you recomend to update Zorro if 1503 was trading live?

Thank You

The bug affected the first price of a live trading session. The Z systems and test results were not affected, so if you're already trading 1.50.3 live, you need not necessarily update that system.

ok thanks!

Zorro 1.50.6 has now been officially released to the download page. Subscribers will receive updates to their subscribed modules in the next days. Thanks for testing!

Hi JCL, for some reason can't download latest beta <above> or prerelease (1502) versions. Public link (http://server.conitec.net/down/Zorro_1502.exe) just downloads an old version 1402?

Cheers, N

Hi,

i maybe found next bug:

if is optimize(1,0,2) ... begining from 0



get allways only 0

What is 10% of 0?

Ok,

but I have an interval from <0,1.5>

1 step: 0
2 step 0.15
...
10 step 1.5

if a have 10 step.

I thinking the optimize work like regress line : y = kx+q
-----------
If want optimize from 0, must be defined the step value?

For y = kx+q, you need a step value k.

hi,

i trying download version 1.50.6 but downloaded version 1.06 (size 50MB)

New version is not for download?

Only version 1.06 and 1.42?

Grat, this is an old thread. Version 1.50 is not in beta test anymore. It was released already a week ago.

Hi, I just bought Zorro S version, but it did not show 'Zorro S' in title when I started it... is there something wrong here.

never mind, I got it.

Hi guys,
I am new to Zorro. Basically found it an hour ago and would like to give it a try.
I downloaded the latest stable version 1.50 and managed to run it on my PC. But I have a problem that I cannot work out.
When I login to my demo account, all works fine, but when I try to login to my real account, it says. Real account not supported.
In the Account scroll menu, I can see these FXCM, IB(DEMO), MT4(DEMO) and OANDA V1 demo. Zorro is free right apart from restriction of for Zorro S, right?
Can some one help please?

Well,according to the manual, that error 063 (is that right ?),
occurs when the free version requires a plugin.

From the manual ...

"Error 063: ... not supported

An error message by the free Zorro version. The called function requires an external plugin or Zorro S."

It doesn't show this an error message, jus says Real account not supported. Should it be a Dll file there with MT4 real, rather than MT4demo?

Yes. It's for subscription. You can find it on the download page.

On training with WFOs I notice that 1.50.6 often hangs with "No Responding". To exclude PC problems a 1.46 runs parallel without hanging. Did anybody notice this too?

Nope, 1.50.6 WFO's are working fine for me.

I also don't think that WFO hangs. It might be some other function or endless loop in your script. You can find out with watch() statements at suspicious places.

It might be another problem but I doubt it is in the script if the 'same' script hangs during the 'same' WFO training in 1.50 but not in 1.46. I'll check my PC ...
