Setting security = 1 in Zorro.ini the login is denied with "wrong username or password" because Zorro does not store the password, not even for one login. The password field is cleared immediately after the "Trade" button is clicked. Is this intended, maybe for testing only installations?

Not sure if this is an issue with version 1.66 or in general:

When I test a strategy that loads the AssetsZ9.csv, setting e.g. EndDate=2015; does not stop the simulation. The simulation always goes up to the very last available date, regardless of which year I select. Is this a bug? Or maybe I am doing something wrong?

The security bug is confirmed. Apparently, no one has used this ini setting so far. As to the EndDate, remember that it's called EndDate, not EndYear.

Yes, I am indeed referring to EndDate (don't know why you are bringing up EndYear). From the manual, for EndDate:

Quote:
EndDate
End of the simulation, either 4 digits for determining the year number of the last historical price data file (similar to StartDate), or a date in yyyymmdd format for ending the backtest at that date (f.i. 20091231 = December 31, 2009). If at 0 (default), or if the file has no year number, the simulation runs until the end of the available price history.

My guess is, since the routine downloads single files for the entire trading period, with no year number in their names, the system automatically runs to the end of data ignoring the EndDate command. That is a rather crude behavior! Don't you agree?

EDIT:

Just tried to give it an exact date, like 20140101 instead of just 2014, and it worked! Still, I feel like 2014 should default to 20140101 when price data files have no year labels. Otherwise it is kind of confusing.

i think its more flexible if 2014 means until the END of 2014. If u take the actual year for example and u say "EndDate = 2017;" and ur strategy trades from date X until NOW - then its more comfortable (as it wud have been, if 2017 wud stop at 2017.01.01). So u wud prefer to use "EndDate = 2018;" in that case? i rather think so, cause it wud be "kind of confusing" wink

Sure, end of year would be fine, too. Whatever the convention, one could quickly figure out which entry to give, if only the end date would register. The confusing part right now is that an EndDate command is given but absolutely nothing is affected. A command that is not wrong should definitely default to some more sensible behavior than "ignore the command".

I tried using v 1.66.5 with my IG plugin.
When using TradeTest and setting "Auto On", it continuously attempts to call BrokerSubscribe with asset "MKT Order" .

This of course fails. I have not seen this behavior before. Bug?

Indeed. Please edit line 151 and change the 3 to 4:

asset(panelGet(4,0));
