Greetings.
I am interested in CFD trading and there are some hints that Zorro support that, but not many, so i am not sure. Does Zorro support CFDs ?
If yes, then i would be interest3ed to understand if the Scripting language supports enumerating and evaluating all open contracts in a brokers account. I noticed there there are queries support for the current total position for a product eg in stocks, but for CFDs i would need the entry price of each individual contract on the same underlying product. Is this possible ?
And lastly i understand Zorro works on bars in predefined timeframes (eg 1 minute bars). Is it possible to evaluate on each tick too ?
Thanks for your support.

A CFD is a contract for difference. Meaning the difference of entry and exit. Since two prices can have only one difference, you can only open one CFD at any point, not different contracts or individual entry prices. - Yes, on each tick too.

You can open as many CFD contracts on a given underlying as you can afford buying into.
Each of them has the entry price achieved at the time you made the contract. If you have multiple contracts, it is likely they have all different entry prices. And for each of them you will probably exit them with a different exit price. Consequently each of them will produce a different result. So each one produces one such single difference.
Example from flat position buying three 3 CFDs at different times without closing any manually:

Time Product L/S Lots EntryPrice StopLoss TakeProfit
8:30 GER30 S 0.1 10728 10878
9:30 GER30 S 0.2 10722 10867 10700
10:30 GER30 S 0.2 10720 10870

At 15:30 with GER30 @10688 you will have two open contracts one with entry price 10728 and one with entry price 10720. Thus one is 40 points, the other 32 points in gain.
It helps the strategy to understand which contracts are open.

What exactly was then your issue with CFDs? If your script opens 3 trades, you have 3 trades and can evaluate them all. It does not matter if they produce only a single total position on your account.

It depends on the broker if you can have individual contracts of the same asset, not on the trade software or asset type.

I would like to understand if Zorro can retrieve / reconcile open contracts from the broker and evaluate each open contracts data (entry price, TP, SL, size) individually taking into account that they are on the same underlying in comparison to a stock position where an aggregate value per stock might be sufficient. So if in above example at 15:30 i just start Zorro, is it possible to read from the broker that there are two open contracts and retrieve said data for each of the two contracts ?

> If your script opens 3 trades, you have 3 trades and can evaluate them all.
If i'm missing the signal that trade 2 hit TP and the GER30 value went back below TP, will Zorro be able to find out ?

Yes, but not from the broker. Only from Zorro's stored trade list. From the broker you get only the net position, from some also a list of open trades, but no details.

Chapter 4.2 should mean it's possible with IB

i think its reqPositions() in java API

IB is a NFA compliant broker. They store no individual trades, only a position.
