I'm trying to run a very simple script but Zorro can't find the history data. I've spcecified 'EUR/USD" and a StartDate and EndDate but still nothing. It says it's looking for 2020 data?
Any help please?

Thank you for the reply AndrewAMD. I only have the data that came with the installation. I have now downloaded the 1GB data file with the 28 forex pairs from 2010 onwards.
If I don't specify a start and date, only the asset, I see the output says "2010-2015"... where does that come from? The .t6 files run from 2005 to 2019.

function run()
{
asset("EUR/USD");
BarPeriod=60;
var* Price = series(price()); //not sure if I need this here
StartDate=2010;
EndDate=2020;
vars dim=series(MinusDI(8));
vars dip=series(PlusDI(8));
if (crossOver(dip,dim)) enterLong();
if (crossOver(dim,dip)) enterShort();
}

The data pack I downloaded from Zorro has data to 2020 so I changed to that. I attached the Zorro output. It doesn't give me that particular error but the date is still wrong and I don't have any trade result.

Because you got the settings the wrong way around. First set the bar and test periods, then you can load the asset for that period. Not the other way around.
Thank you jcl. I changed it the other way around but still no happiness here. Here is my code. Zorro still runs the test from 2015..2020 and the log doesn't show any trades.
Code
function run()
{
set(LOGFILE);
BarPeriod=60;
StartDate=20100101;
EndDate=20191231;
vars dim=series(MinusDI(8));
vars dip=series(PlusDI(8));
Stop=PIP*50;
asset("EUR/USD");
if (crossOver(dip,dim)) enterLong();
if (crossOver(dim,dip)) enterShort();
}

Well, it's now another wrong way around. The order of commands matters in programming. Here's how it should probably look:
Code
function run()
{
BarPeriod=60;
StartDate=2010;
EndDate=2020;
asset("EUR/USD");
vars dim=series(MinusDI(8));
vars dip=series(PlusDI(8));
Stop=PIP*50;
if (crossOver(dip,dim)) enterLong();
if (crossOver(dim,dip)) enterShort();
}
