Hi,

great tool...can I trade with IBFX?

At the moment we have only a plugin for FXCM. Plugins can be written either by users, by brokers, or by us. Writing and testing a broker plugin requires about 1..2 weeks, so we can't spit them out like a machine gun. We'll write one when there is popular demand to support a certain broker, or of course when some broker pays us .

So when many users want IBFX support, there's a good chance that we'll include an IBFX plugin in a future Zorro version.

code a plugin for broker that allow cent account might be a good idea for test on live cent account your strategies : )

I have cent account and i want to test it live and I think a lot other traders will be happy for IBFX.....

I see that you plan to build MT4 Plugin when you plan to finish plugin? IBFX is also MT4 Broker and with cent account ideal for testing..... ;-)

An MT4 plugin is planned, unfortunately MT4 has some serious problems that put you at a disadvantage when you use it for trading. Trading a strategy with MT4 is not guaranteed to generate the same profits that you would get with other platforms or with a direct broker plugin. Slippage can be much higher with MT4 and stop losses triggered earlier.

I'm sure that depends on the broker and slippage is not really a problem on daily chart strategies.

The best is: A MT$ Plugin opens doors to choose Brokers of your choice, with whatever Accountform and contractsizes. everyone has freedom to take the broker of own confidence.

So, if you need assistance in MT$ coding for plugin-interface or whatever feel free to ask. some will know me as Mediator @stevehopwood

I will vouch for anyone who has anything to do with Steve Hopwood. He has a vast body of work and all of the highest quality and integrity. This is a guy who codes ea's and will actually tell you not to walk away from the computer, it needs watching! He could have so easily just gone down the route of selling dodgy ea's to get rich quickers and made a mint but he chose to genuinly help people instead, enough said.

PriNova, I get my Zorro scripts coded into mt4 by a professional coder I have been using for ages. Although I think Zorro is outstanding for testing and tweaking strategies I'm yet to be convinced of it's robustness for live trading. Also if you want to run multiple systems you need multiple pc's. I will soon have 3 or 4 automated systems running on the same pc. Also I can shut the pc down during the day rather than having to leave it open 24 hours a day and I can use any broker I damn well pleasy.

It's a no brainer for the moment but I'm sure these Zorro blokes will improve things over time.

When you convert Zorro scripts to MT4, make sure that the MT4 version behaves absolutely identical - compare the backtest trade logs. I remember that some days ago you told about a difference in trade signals between MT4 and Zorro. A script that behaves different should not be traded with MT4.
