In Demo mode, and with a 24 hour token from Saxo, I get this result (see attached file) I expected to see some trading action happen instead?
What could be the reason that the Z2 script doesn't work with Saxo demo 24 hour token? I also have problems when I create a simulator app ID and try to do anything with that. Login is OK, but nothing else seems to work.

Now reading the symbols page, it's a becoming unclear what I should do now. https://zorro-project.com/manual/en/symbol.htm There is no AssetSaxo.csv in my History folder. Should I create that and get info from Saxo somewhere? However, it seems that Saxo needs UICs, isn't that something that the Saxo plugin should/would take care of?
I'm on Zorro free and would like to try to get some experience test trading and then real trading with Saxo

So I made a file History/AssetsSaxo.csv with the following: Name,Price,Spread,RollLong,RollShort,PIP,PIPCost,MarginCost,Market,Multiplier,Commission,Symbol EUR/USD,1.14174,0.00015,-0.0977,-0.1095,0.0001,0.1,-1,0,1000,0,EURUSD
With the symbol EURUSD, I also tried EURUSD.FX and "EURUSD"
However, this feels like shooting in the dark. I'm also unsure if the file gets read at all? The plugin is called Saxo, but in the UI it is called Saxo V2. On Saxo's website, there is nothing like V2. Just their Open API. Attached a screenshot from the Saxo Open API documentation.
Output is still Z2.94: X PH H4 B0 V1 SF0.0 - EUR/USD history unavailable!

Ah ok thanks... Kind of strange how it shows up in the list anyway, and there is no proper error message. Generally, the UX of Zorro is pretty bad, but allright, I'll keep trying.
And what is the meaning of "demo" in this list then?

You can put any broker or data source in that list (see manual), but that doesn't automatically mean that it's supported by your current license. Note, that you can only use a custum list with Zorro S.
'Demo' means a demo account.

Never 'shoot in the dark' with asset symbols, or else you may accidentally open a trade that you do not want.
Symbols can always be looked up in the broker's platform. Even is nothing else is documented, the symbols are, obviously, otherwise you could not trade.
If you're not making progress, you can contact support with the credentials to your demo account, and we'll look into that. Brokers occasionally change their API, and the Saxo plugin was developed about 2 years ago.

Thank you both for the answers. I suppose I overlooked that I would need Zorro S for Saxo. Since it was showing I thought it was maybe made available compared to the screenshots from the manual. I'll try with another broker for now. Had some success now with Oanda and IB is also showing data in sim mode.
