Hi all,

Is it possible to import data withon Zorro through csv file?
Convert a .csv in .t6 or .t1 format?

Thanks

Yep its possible. It is described in the Zorro manual.

Indeed. Much of it is covered here:
http://zorro-project.com/manual/en/data.htm

Also, included with Zorro is a sample script, "CSVtoHistory". You can tailor it to suit your needs.

Hi all,

I used the script "CSVtoHistory" but I don't find where the file .t6 is generated.

Somebody can you help me?

Open the script and edit it.

I modified the script but I don't see the file .t6
I should see it in History folder hwere is present the .csv file

Can you help me with an example?

Ok, I got just one step further, but am stuck with it. For any other beginner, like me, I tell you what I did so far:

1. Open the history folder and dump in a csv file from http://www.histdata.com
2. Edited the CSVtoHistory script to the name of my CSV file, and renamed string OutName = "testConversion.t6";
3. Run the script - all was good and I see the file "testConversion.t6" in the history folder.

But now I am stuck, because if I run any strategy (whether Z or workshop 4), I can not select the testConversion file from the pulldown menu to the right of the strategy. (btw, I also can not find the selection for the default generated original "USDZAR_2015.t6" file, so it seems not to be the choice of my file, but a general preselection feature I don't know how to deal with.) any help anyone ?

There is probably no tradeable asset with the name "testconversion". So, if you know from which asset and year that file is, simple rename it, like "EURUSD_2017.t6". How to add new assets is described in the manual under "Asset list".

Thanks a lot, JCL, I now got myself a first brokers Demoaccount and let Zorro run through the MT4 bridge.
As anticipated it sits there this week and I did not dare to touch it, because it shows in the results that it is alive.
But now is the weekend break and I thought I could use this to play around on Zorro a bit in order to learn more.

However, in order to run any other strategy or backtest I would have to switch of the current Z12 strategy I am running.

So my question is: Can I interrrupt my current trade in my demo-account and later simply resume it from where I left of?
Or will Zorro start the previous strategy from scratch again and all it "learned" from the slowly estabilished equity curve is lost ?

This question is crucial actually, because I should know what happens if my laptop breaks down (after weeks of trading) or I do loose electricity.

Do not interrupt a live system for doing backtests. Just start another Zorro instance for that.
