I'm making my way through Workshop 6 and pretty much understand it. But I have a question about how to trade different assets using different algorithms. IN the workshop we have:

while(asset(loop("EUR/USD","USD/JPY")))
while(algo(loop("TRND","CNTR")))
{
if(strstr(Algo,"TRND"))
tradeTrend();
else if(strstr(Algo,"CNTR"))
tradeCounterTrend();
}

But this trades both TRND and CNTR on EUR/USD and USD/JPY. How would I write the code if I want, for example, EUR/USD to only trade TRND and USD/JPY to only trade CNTR?

On another note, if I want an algo to open several positions for a trade, could someone point to where the manual explains how to do this.

Many thanks!!

You can combine conditions with "and", for instance:

if(strstr(Algo,"TRND") and strstr(Asset,"EUR/USD"))
tradeTrend();

Many thanks!

And if I want an algo to open several positions at once, rather than increasing lot size, with each positions, for example, having a different take profit - could you point me to where I can learn how to code that?

Again, many thanks!!

Hi bfleming,

look at http://zorro-trader.com/manual/en/trade.htm

There is an example at the bottom of the page

Thanks for the pointer, Sundace. But I'm still not able to find anything about opening several positions at once for the same trade entry. Any ideas?

There is no function like enterLong to fire up several trades in one step. Just use enterLong in a loop. Taking a trade only needs some seconds.

Ah, ok. Thanks. Will play around with that and see how far I get on my own before I have another question :))

Many thanks for your help!!
