I am a programmer. Need tutorial on Zorro - 03/29/21 18:48
Hello,
I write programs using c# at my day work.
I need tutorial on how to write strategies for Zorro.
I have been looking at the samples and trying to hack my way but results are not good. What little sample code that is available in manual isn't not enough. I need a complete tutorial on how to write Zorro strategies.
Do you guys have any resources?
Thank you.

Thank you sir.
Manual is okay to a degree, I was asking for another document geared toward inner workings of Zorro.

The real tutorial begins when you start testing out trading ideas in Zorro and finding out that they're bad.... or good! Or too good, but that's because you had a bug in your script.
Specifically about Zorro:
The manual will always be your best technical reference on using Zorro!

I am in the same situation with you NewtraderX. I am having a difficult time with the syntax and the usage of the built in functions.
Is there a website that further explains these things?
Thanks
Glenn

Please reread my posts in this thread.
If you're having trouble with syntax, learn C. This one is a classic:

I'm on waiting list for robotwealth, hopefully its not too long. As I continue learning, a more in depth training would be great. I'm glad to hear it is worth it.
