Code while(asset(loop("Asset A", "Asset B", "Asset C"))) { if(Asset == "Asset C") PriceOffset = 700; ..... } However, when I check the price printed in log, Zorro doesn't seem to shift the price upwards, since it only prints the first positive price. Not sure if the offset usage is wrong.

It affects trading, not the prices themselves. The manual is here misleading. Can you contact Support and send your negative price data? Maybe they will find a solution. For this you won't need a support subscription.

You must do that before loading the asset, otherwise it has only effect trading and live prioces, but not on historical prices. Code function run() { set(PLOTNOW); BarPeriod = 1440; NumYears = 20; assetAdd("ZMeod"); Detrend = NOPRICE; PriceOffset = 1000; asset("ZMeod"); }
