Hi jcl,

can we trade manually with Zorro?

Yes, when you write a script for that, but why should you do that? Zorro is a robot. For manual trading you have your broker platform.

But you can use the broker() function to pop up a message and ring a bell whenever Zorro enters a trade, and then enter the trade manually in another platform.

I could see having a discretionary entry and letting the Zorro script manage until it closes the trade. For instance you might want to use a custom trailing stop algorithm.

That's an interesting idea. Normally people want it the other way around, enter trades automatically and manage them manually.

The only thing missing at the moment is a button that you click for entering a trade, but I had already proposed a set of strategy controlled buttons as a new Zorro feature. This would be another use for buttons.

In a current Zorro, Is it possible to send an email like in MT4 when an entry and exit signal occurred in real time?

Indirectly, yes. You can use Zorro's "keys" function to let an external email program send a prepared email.

This would be cool..

Like a secondary box half the size of Zorro that you click and it appears as an extension with buttons that the user can name / customize to do different things via writing scripts in Zorro...
