Zorro is an ecosystem for financial research and algorithmic trading. It is not a 'robot' and not a trading platform, but has some elements of both. Technically it's a frontend to a software library specialized on time series analysis, machine learning, and online trading. The frontend allows with a few button clicks to edit strategy scripts, train machine learning algorithms, optimize parameters, backtest system with several methods, and trade them live with online brokers and exchanges. This workflow is reflected in the six buttons of Zorro's control panel.
We admit: the user interface is not particularly pretty. But you can add your own user interface for your trading tools and scripts, with as many colorful buttons as you want. The default one is designed for minimum space (~ 300x600 pixels), so several instances can run on a small notebook screen in the background. There is no menu. Entry fields and scroll boxes allow setting up the broker connection and selecting the script and assets to trade.
