Since I did not try live trading this script, I'm afraid I cannot help you there.
Perhaps updating Zorro as firecast suggests might help.

I am using 1.60 but I will try with that one

For some reason I cannot edit the first post any more, to make updates. Here it was pointed out that the INITRUN clause is not needed when loading Assets.csv file (probably to allow the script to load an updated list at any point in time during execution).
The use of INITRUN condition likely came from here. So to stop confusing people I dropped the INITRUN check from the script:

I used 1.66.5 and got the same problem. Did I choose the wrong assets?

Actually, it seems that your problem is not with the script but with operating hours of the broker. It says, the code tries to open trades at 4am in the morning. The exchange however only opens at 9:30am. That is what the error message seems to be informing you of: that your trades will only go through once the exchange opens at 9:30am.

I believe there is a flag in Zorro which you might want to search for, that restricts trading only to the hours when the exchange is open. Or perhaps you can shift the local clock on your trading computer by 5-6 hours, so that the script tries to trade after 9:30am. Hope this helps!

@Hredot, I'm getting the following error message:

Error 014: ATR needs LookBack 520 > 480

The script runs and it gets a 26% CAGR, but this error makes it a bit scary to put it live laugh

It appears a couple of times, the script I'm running is the v1.1 without any change (but it happened also in v1.0).

(Also it gave a warning about VOO not having the first 175 bars, but that warning disappears using a StartDate=2011)

@Cheulmen

I would not recommend using any script, where you do not fully understand what it does and its limitations. Testing after 2011 is very misleading, since its a period of great growth. In fact, in my personal opinion the script performs sub-optimal in the years 2008-2011. I suspect Z9 probably has similar trouble there (which is why its testing period "conveniently" starts in 2011). Long story short:

The Dual Momentum script I posted is not really intended to be traded live, but serves as a proof of concept first iteration, for others to use as a starting point and refine until you are satisfied with the performance. That would also involve figuring out all warning messages, understanding why they appear and fixing them if you think it is necessary.

Yep, that's why I was asking, I'm trying to understand... I'm not sure to grasp why the error appears, as 520 is less than two years, and the time involved is over that timeframe

Actually, in trading terms, a year is only 12*20 days, since only about 20 days a month are working days.
So two years are 24*20 = 480, which means, you could either increase the LookBack period accordingly, or alter the ATR command later in the script.

Very nice piece of code.
Thanks for sharing.

Looking into the script, what is this code for?

var totalSlope=0;
for(i=0;i<enterNum;i++){ // determine the overall weight of wanted assets
totalSlope=totalSlope+assetWeight[assetSorted[i]];
}
