Kind Sirs:

Is there a feature in Zorro for automatically picking up new bar data from an external CSV file if it detects the CSV has been modified?

Some quote providers/software dump data into a CSV (quoteCollector is an example of a tool) every period.. so it would be great if the trading/decision platform (Zorro in this case), would load this data automtically.

Yes, look into the file contract.c and check the source code of dataFromQuandl and dataFromCSV. They do something similar.
