A new Zorro version is available for a public beta test:

http://opserver.de/down/Zorro_1540.exe

This will be the official 1.54 release when no new bugs are found in the next 10 days. 1.54 contains a system for simulating and trading options and futures, functions to load and access databases from Yahoo™ and Quandl™, and arbitrary-format CSV import. The complete feature list can be found on http://manual.zorro-project.com/new.htm.

Since the data format has changed, old trading sessions can not be directly continued with the new version, but have to be taken over with the procedure described under "Trading" in the manual. This version also contains a new MT4 bridge to be installed as described in the manual.

Zorro S subscribers will receive their new keys in the next days. Please test everything carefully and report all problems here!

I am testing this new version 1.54

I realize that most probably I'm doing something wrong, but while testing the Z7 script in a demo account, it has lost track of already opened trades (by Z7) after a reboot.

I guess I should do something to tell Z7 to "follow" already opened orders by itself, but I don't know exactly what or how...

The demo account is a MT4, so I'm using the new MT4 bridge.

Hi, I'm testing this version using Oanda v1 account.
when testing Z2 algo, an error message was seen "Error 062: Can't open Z12_13.par (rt:2)".

Please advise if it is a problem or a workaround is available.

Cheers.

I installed the new Zorro fresh to a new folder, downloaded some data files, backtested Z1 and even ran it live for a second. No errors to report and all seemed fine. Just one thing I don't like: Even though I never touched Z12 stategy, Zorro opened and 'modified' Z12.trd. See attached screen shot. This is my number 1 Zorro bug. Zorro should not touch Z12.trd unless you trade that strategy.

Thanks for testing! Some comments:

- Zorro forgets previous trades: Only trades from the previous version. Trades from the same version should be resumed - please check.

- Can't open Z12_13.par: yes, the file was indeed missing. We'll upload a new beta soon, until then you can get the missing file here: http://opserver.de/down/Z12_13.par (right click & save to the Data folder).

- Zorro should not touch Z12.trd unless you trade that strategy: Zorro doesn't agree. The .trd file contains more than trading.

Thanks. After putting the file Z12_13.par into the Data folder, the error is gone.
But, there is another error: Error 042: no EUR/USD:BB parameters at walk 13.

Check if you've copied the right file - it definitely contains the EUR/USD:BB parameters.

New version: http://opserver.de/down/Zorro_1543.exe

This version has 2 changes: Z8 loads the slider states now before loading the price history, and a crash bug was fixed that happened when you train a portfolio with missing price history.

The Z12 test looked weird of Zorro1543. Did someone have a better?

Can the developers confirm that the dayOpen() functions were updated? The source code in indicators.c hasn't changed from what I can tell.

Thanks!

Just downloaded and installed v1.544.
When trying to trade with Z2 algo, an error message appeared:
Error 051: Can't load DataZ12_d.trd

Please kindly advise.

Z12 test looks weird: Please check what files or settings you have changed. If you can't find the reason this way, the always-working solution is deleting your changes or installing Zorro in a fresh folder.

dayHigh etc. was updated: Yes, at least according to my list.

Can't load Z12_d.trd: Otherwise I'd be surprised, since the format has changed. Under "What's new" you'll find all changes and update instructions.

I am starting with Zorro and I tested the following script with Zorro 1.50.6 and Zorro 1.54.5 and I got two different results. Why are they so different? I used the same data, time frame and the same script for testing. I attach the script and the performance reports. I would be very grateful if anyone could answer me in order to know what I am doing wrong.

Thank you.

Maybe it could be the Slippage issue in older Zorro versions? Check this thread: Are all backtest results potentially flawed?

You can try to set the Slippage to 0 and see how the results change.

Thank you for your answer. I set the Slippage to 0 and the results are still the same as before. In Zorro 1.50.6 I got AR 2% - SR 0.05 and in Zorro 1.54.5 I got AR 33% - SR 0.46. Which are the good and reliable results? Those made in Zorro 1.50.6 or those made in Zorro 1.54.5?

I attach the script and results.

Thank you very much.

The weird thing is that even when Slippage is set to 0 there's still this: Avg trade slippage -0.27$ -3.1p (+0.0p / -3.8p) in 1.50.6. It makes part of the difference ($50) but not all of it. Maybe someone else will be able to find the other cause.

Also you can check the trade logs side by side and look where the differences occur.

Thannk you! I have the same problem with all my strategies. So I'am getting a little bit confused. Maybe someone else will find a solution for this...

atr: I've just remembered another thing that could be causing the difference. See this thread: EXTRADATA Issues. You can try setting EXTRADATA flag in the old Zorro version.

Btw. in 1.54 and 1.52 I'm getting exactly the same results.

jcl, is there a particular reason why Workshop 8 source is no longer provided in the Strategy directory in 1.54.5?

Backtests are still different. I set the EXTRADATA flag in Zorro 1.50.6 and the results are a little bit different but very different from the results I got in Zorro 1.54.5. Probably the results in the latest versión of Zorro are more reliable but it's only a suspicion...
Thank you!

atr: I didn't find anything else in the changelog that could cause different results. Could you upload the old Zorro version, please? The oldest I have is 1.51.

From this link you can download Zorro 1.50.6

http://dfiles.eu/files/2yhyc3byk

For backtesting I used data from Zorro Project.

http://zorro-project.com/download.php

Thank you very much!

atr: Thank you. It's weird. For example I have this trade:
Code:
Type	Lots	Open	                Close	                Entry	Exit	Profit	Roll	ExitType
Long	1	2015-02-20 18:00	2015-02-23 09:00	1.1393	1.1345	-54.3	-9.88	Reverse
Long	1	2015-02-20 18:00	2015-02-23 09:00	1.14004	1.13254	-80.02	-9.88	Reverse


The first one is from the old version with EXTRADATA flag set and Slippage=0. I'm using the same data and asset files in both cases. I don't understand the difference in entry / exit prices at all. Can anyone more competent than me explain, please?

Thank you for testing. I think we need some help in order to know if the old or the new Zorro versión has a bug.

I have today downloaded and installed version 1.54 from via http://zorro-trader.com/download.php
I have also downnloaded and installed both M1 forex history files (2002-2009, 2010-2015)
I can test Workshop 4_1 with EURUSD without problems

BUT

by Workshop 4_2 I got 055 error: no EURUSD prices

See please screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4GY0818fQXPRTB5Vlpuem5tZ00/view?usp=sharing
Any help please? I am beginner and do not want to give up here...
In summary: Both Workshop 4 testet with EURUSD. By 4_1 test OK, by 4_2 it tells me no EURUSD data.

The EUR/USD prices are included, so there should not be a problem to test the workshops. If you accidentally deleted some price history or modified files, just install Zorro again - that fixes everything you possibly did.

I have tried today again and suddenly it has been working. I could verify the error yesterday several times. Have otherwise not changed anything. Odd. Have a nice weekend

It was Z7 strategy. Initially ini file was set up to exclude USDJPY and USDGBP, on Monday this week I have turned on these pairs for traiding as well, yesterday there were no trades but today when deals with USDJPY and USDGBP have been opened this error start to appear several times. I have photos of the error.
Exact description:
1st
Error 041: Inconsistent series!
Bar 607: 5 - bar 608: 15
2nd
Error 041: Inconsistent series!
Bar 608: 5 - bar 609: 15

and with options abort, retry, ignore.

Let us know if this fixed the problem.
