Alerts are possible with Zorro using email. I haven't measured the delay. These snippets are straight from the help file.

void main()
{
string To = "<me@myself.org>";
string From = "<zorro_alert@gmail.com>";
string Subject = "Zorro Message";
string Body = "Zorro has sent you a message!";
string Server = "smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465";
string User = "zorro_alert@gmail.com";
string Password = "zorros_password";
email(To,From,Subject,Body,Server,User,Password);
}

or....(my friend said he will use this code so he can then forward to a text alert which could be faster)


// send an email when a trade is enteredfunction sendEmailAboutTrade(){
// compose the message
string Content = strf("content=Zorro has entered a trade!\n%d Lots of %s",
Lots,Asset);
http_transfer("http://www.myserver.com/zorromail.php",Content);}
