Hello,
I am Malice, you can call me Malcolm if you like.

I don't want to known your system or your actual gains, I just want to know est. gains and if you made money with this Zorro.

Truth be told, I have little money to play with, so I can not afford fish tales.

Edit - Post here if you are making money, please ?!
Thank you
Mal

Malcolm, I'm not sure people are going to be as forthcoming as you might wish regarding their trading results. Each to their own I guess. Personally, I don't trade the Z systems, but there are a number of users here who share their Z system results via myfxbook.

I can't comment on returns from trading the Z systems, but I can say that if you are interested in developing and trading your own systems, then Zorro is exceptional value for money. I don't think that a more user-friendly development platform with Zorro's level of robustness exists on the market.

I have made money and lost money in the past trading systems I developed with Zorro. The losing was due to my skill as a developer and trader, not due to any failure of Zorro. I am currently trading three of my own systems that I developed with Zorro. One is down 10% since inception back in September, the other two are up 18% and 16% respectively over roughly the same period. Of course, this doesn't tell the whole story - you would need to consider drawdown, time in market, and anything else that is relevant to your investment needs - but I am telling you that it is possible to make money with Zorro.

I would also add that what I have learned over the last year while using Zorro is worth many times the price I paid for the software.

It looks like you're a lite-C user - it would be great to have you contributing to the Zorro forum too.

Treading water here.

My Z3 is up fractionally since inception in March (+1.07%). My Z12 is up fractionally since inception August 2014 (+0.22%).

I'm up about 680% in 18 months on z systems.

Is that an outlier result for these systems?

I know 3 other people running Zorro. 2 are using the same broker as me, trading through MT4, one has seen 100% return since about May, the other 200% since about April.

The other person I know is using FXCM and the API plugin, and their account is slightly down after a year or so, however their account has been offline during this latest upswing. They might be changing broker before trading again.

Hope this helps.

It was a up and down but overall I'm up 200% in 24 months.

But its strange that people have so different results with the same systems.

Petra and Thirstywolf, which brokers are you trading with?

Petra's comment & boatman's question are quite relevant to the OP, and a few others too. Such as what account(s) type(s) at the broker, which systems (Z<n> and/or own), which were traded using what Capital & Margin settings over what time periods, Real vs. Demo, etc. Without a lot of detail the answers are pretty meaningless if not downright dangerous...

Zorro's now been around long enough that a compendium of this might be useful. But it would be unaudited/unverified, so maybe not...
