Hi all,

I'm new to here and very nice to meet you all.

I have a space separated txt file, it's end of day data with date, OHLC and volume. I want to use it(I know I can download from yahoo etc), how can I import it to Zorro. Please kindly show how step by step. I looked up the manual and googled, but found nothing.

I guess Zorro is meant for day trading, as a beginner, I prefer start with end of day trade, I found that change timeframe in Zorro is not easy, for example, I download M1 data but want to use end of day data, what should I do? Can anyone help?

What's the algorithm behind Zorro's normalization function? Can we use CDF function to do normalization?

Thank you.

First convert the space separated file to a CSV file. You can do that normally with a ' ' -> ',' search and replace.

Next, check the format of the CSV file. If it's in Yahoo or HistData format, you can convert it directly with one of the included scripts. If it's an exotic format, it might make sense to download the current Zorro 1.52 beta version. It can convert any exotic CSV format with the dataParse function.

Zorro has many normalization functions, including CDF.

Thank you, I am still working on the manual, it's not easy for a beginner without any programming experience, I'll hang on to see how this works out
