A tool for all markets.

Markets are all different, but Zorro is universal. It supports options, futures, stocks, bonds, ETFs, CFDs, forex, and digital currencies. It can connect to almost all online data feeds, brokers, or exchanges. It covers all time frames from milliseconds to weeks, and supports all automated trading methods from high-frequency trading to option combos or monthly portfolio rotation.

Human and artificial intelligence.

Define a deep neural network architecture and apply it like a simple indicator. Zorro can utilize R and Python libraries and use Keras™, TensorFlow™, MxNet™, or thousands of other machine learning or data analysis packages for your strategy.
   Add human intelligence. Retrieve market sentiment data from option chains, curve patterns, order flow, seasonal or currency strength, blockchain parameters, news sources, or online contents.

Serious optimizing.

Optimizing is important for evaluating a strategy's robustness and for adapting it to different markets. Zorro's walk-forward optimizer needs less than 15 seconds for training an intraday portfolio system with 12 parameters. Histograms and contour charts illustrate the effect of any parameter on the strategy.
   Various optimizer modules can generate trading rules in C code, apply fuzzy logic,  analyze candle patterns, train machine learning models, or calculate weights for capital allocation. Strategies autonomously re-train themselves in regular intervals.

Reality check.

Determining the expected performance of a strategy is no trivial task. Zorro's tick-level backtester needs only 0.3 seconds to process 10 years historical data in high accuracy. Specific exchanges, brokers, or accounts can be simulated by their symbols, leverages, margins, commissions, swaps, spreads, interest, slippage, market hours, and holidays.
   Step into details with the visual debugger. Validate results with anchored or rolling walk-forward analysis and Montecarlo analysis. Verify the backtest accuracy by reality checks with randomized data.

Instant strategies.

Zorro comes with ready-to-run trading systems for forex, CFDs, ETFs, stocks, options, and cryptocurrencies. They are permanently maintained and allow you to experience a live trading system before developing your own strategies.
   Please be aware that the future is unknown and all strategies are risky. Invest no money you can't afford to lose.

All is customizable.

If Zorro's minimalistic user interface won't do, design your own. Define buttons, lists, displays, sliders, entry fields, charts, and reports by script or with a simple spreadsheet.

Automate Zorro jobs with batch processes. Integrate Zorro in your own software and run Zorro tasks with a simple DLL interface. Control web platforms by sending key strokes and mouse clicks. Implement arbitrary broker APIs or feed protocols. Define special bars - Renko, Point-and-Figure, or bars of your own design. Verify the live trading status from anywhere with individualized online reports.

Flat learning curve.

Zorro's lite-C language allows an easy approach to strategy coding with very short scripts. Tutorials, books, video courses, and the Algo Bootcamp cut your learning curve. Use the integrated environment and on-the-fly compiler for rapid development, test, and deployment of algorithmic strategies.

If you're a seasoned programmer, use your familiar C++ platform, such as Microsoft Visual Studio™ with its advanced debugging and profiling features. Zorro accepts projects as lite-C scripts, as compiled executables, or as C++ DLLs.

Allow Zorro to beat the world's financial system with its own weapons. Understand, analyze, experiment with, and exploit the markets with many different ideas and methods.
   While the markets are evolving, Zorro's development is ongoing, funded through sponsor licenses, development contracts, and trading returns. New versions come out every 3-4 months.
