Hello jcl,

how much work does it takes to allow Zorro to have the same strategies as Gbot?

the link to G-bot is here: http://www.datatime.eu/public/gbot/

explanation of strategy is here: http://www.datatime.eu/public/gbot/strategies.htm

some interesting metrics for algo trading: http://www.datatime.eu/public/gbot/MetricsForAlgorithmicTrading.htm

Zorro can trade any system, therefore also the G-Bot system. But from a first look at the description it seems to be just a grid trader with some money management algorithm for hedging the risk. The description does not really explain how it works in detail.

Hello jcl,

thanks for taking a look. On first glance, it look like a grid trader but i dun think so.....

he explains in more details in a live journal here:

It will be interesting if we can have a Z system for this.

Also is it possible to have the algo trading metrices implemented first?

Best regards.

The metrices, as far as I see, can be relatively easily implemented by script. They need not be hardwired in Zorro.

I will look through that system in more detail next week. I'm not yet sure what to think about it, but it looks more serious than the usual "magic systems" that you find on all trader forums. Thanks for posting the links.

Although the G-Bot looks like a professional tool, I have not been able yet to understand how its trading method can be profitable. Its developer, Tom Gastaldi, could not really explain it either. The live trading results are not impressive - after 8 months the profit curve is still dancing about the zero line. Thus, neither theory nor experience so far recommend the G-Bot for trading.

hello jcl,

many thanks for checking.
