Hi dpt,

In order for strategies to run, you must download historical data from your broker or a data provider like Stooq for example.

Here in http://zorro-project.com/download.php at the end, you can find and download free data from Oanda for several assets. Copy the content in your History folder.

If you want to download/update your historical files you must use the function assetHistory:

Those are the basics.
