I saw that - that appears to be a static panel derived from a .csv file with some additional control aspects. It appears to be only for static data (unless I am mistaken).
I am talking about the ability to push live data (last price, entry price, exit price, trail stop etc.) to a panel so one can easily view the data in real time.
Additionally populating historical data for each symbol/system which is live trading and/or currently turned off based upon rules.
As soon as strategies become more complex and run on multiple symbols or a large portfolio of symbols, creating switching rules, debugging and specific improvements become more difficult without seeing live data as the strategy calculates in real time. Odd things can occur which are undetectable in backtesting/optimizing against a portfolio but are clearly evident when watching in real time.
Perhaps adding the ability in Zorro to use a DDE link/server to export into excel would probably do the trick.

I am talking about the ability to push live data (last price, entry price, exit price, trail stop etc.) to a panel so one can easily view the data in real time. From the manual: panelSet (int row, int col, string text, int color, int style, int type) Set properties or update content of an individual cell. With this command you can update the content of any cell of the panel with any live data at any time you like while the command 'panel' initiates a panel optional with loading its initial structure from a .csv. I guess the question is more how useful is watching the 'live parameters' with your eyes instead of let them watch by a machine. A quick & dirty solution (I use them often, indeed) might be to save the parameters of your interest to a text file by Zorro (each minute or each intervall you like), set a DSN to it and use the DSN in Excel as the data source.
