I vote for Dukascopy JForex API Plugin as well.

Thank you.

Hi jcl. There have been requests for API implementations for Dukascopy, IB, and Oanda (and I see that IB and Oanda are on the What's New roadmap). I'm not qualified at this point to vote for one over the other especially as much of the reasons I'd use to vote are not directly observable (hence above they're listed alphabetically ). But for planning purposes I would definitely like to know your decision as to which and when.

Thanks.

Please keep in mind that some brokers have minimum account sizes for using API on their accounts. As far as I know they are:
Dukascopy: $100k
IB: $10k
Oanda: none

Hi guys, the thing that would help me the most is to see the manual updated and expanded.

It would be nice to have some specifics in there around how the multisession plugin works with MT4. I.E. do you drop a Zorro expert adviser on a different chart for each strategy, or just one chart?

Also just a bit more depth on some topics...I feel like sometimes I have to read multiple sections to understand one thing fully.

Last but not least, it can be hard to find things in the manual, as there is no way to search it(correct me if I'm wrong), as you drill down on each subject. It would make a huge difference for me if there was a way to ctrl-f for all the text in the manual, and quickly find what I am looking for.

I believe these couple of things would greatly enhance the zorro experience for new users.

Thanks.

You can use google to limit a search to a website. For example..,

site:http://www.zorro-trader.com/manual/ "margin"

Click "Help" for opening the manual and click "Search" for searching in it. There is also an alphabetical index. Reading a manual without knowing how to search for things is certainly a cumbersome task.

I see. So if I open the manual directly from the Zorro Control Panel there is search functionality. I have always just opened it through the Zorro website. Thank you very much for this handy information. On the plus side, I know the manual pretty well now.

I see that it has been requested before, but also I would like to have the ability to connect Zorro with Interactive Brokers. However, IB has a requirement that the minimum amount is 10kUSD when opening an account, which is above the 7kUSD limit that Zorro (free edition) is using.

Besides that would I have two more wishes but I guess that these are out of the scope of Zorro. One is to be able to run Zorro on a Unix (Ubuntu) computer. My understanding is that Zorro is developed for Windows machines. I have not yet tried to use Wine on a Ubuntu machine to see whether it is then able to run Zorro.
The other one is to be able to run Java software, developed as API for IB's TWS on Zorro without having to translate it to another programming language (with the risk of making translation errors).

My own report. Zorro on wine works for Train and Test, meaning the behavior is the same. but it cannot connect to FXCM. I think there is a problem with the networking dll (I have no idea). So you need a windows machine to download History or Trade. I have also had trouble with SED.exe in wine. It prints a blank undismissable dialog when it wants to say that an open file has been modified. So, I don't use the supplied text editor. Other than that, we kinda got lucky on this point.

Interactive brokers connection for Zorro S please. could use a real broker, FXCM is meh so so broker. Interactive Brokers support for zorro S please.
