I think it would be a great idea to integrate Zorro with SierraChart (SC).
SC is a very lightweight,fast and well engineered application, has very robust integration to nearly all key brokers and datafeeds (including their own) and can also work as a data/oms server - a single point gateway to all of them.
Combining all the great scripting and analytical capabilities of Zorro with robust access to data and brokers would be a superb combination, and would likely multiply Zorro's user base 10+x.

You appear to be knowledgeable on how this plugin can be implemented. Did you know that you can get a free Zorro S license if you write the plugin yourself and share it with the community?
I unfortunately do not have first-hand experience writing something like this. It would take me a lot of time, which I would rather spend on creating systems and getting them to production.

This plugin would require a TCP socket. Actually, two sockets, since it’s one for history and one for everything else (I would have to log in separately just to get history ticks).
In you and your company’s experience, is it sufficient to write such a plugin as a blocking client, or is it better to implement asynchronous single threaded or asynchronous multithreaded?
