Zorro, at least in concept from what I've read, is the most comprehensive and robust platform for building an automated trading strategy I've ever seen (that I can afford LOL). I can't wait to prove that as I invest more time in understanding how it works.

The way I see it, if you aren't a big institution with unlimited pockets for R&D, then you have to really REALLY optimize your thought process. Since time itself is a limited resource for everyone, it makes sense to align yourself with a platform that already has all the heavy-lifting figured out! By heavy-lifting, I am referring to the math, analysis, optimization theories, and of course the actual process of trading the account (buy/sell/stop/etc). These are stumbling blocks that essentially waste time (in my opinion) with other platforms like Metatrader. (Not to mention the limitation of Metatrader in the big picture-- for example, what if you do manage to find success with that but then want to take that success to the next level like Interactive Brokers platform... do you start all over from scratch then?)

The platform they have here called Zorro has all the heavy-lifting already figured out, so as a trader we can focus more time on the actual strategy part.
