This is
not a
Trading
Platform.
But it beats any.
Zorro is a free institutional-grade software tool for financial research and algorithmic trading in C or C++. It's compact, portable, easy to learn, and magnitudes faster than R or Python. It can do anything that automated trading platforms do - only better. Zorro offers extreme flexibility and many features otherwise not found in consumer trading software.
Any research project, analysis tool, or algorithmic trading system can be realized with a small C/C++ script (see script examples). R and Python libraries are also supported. Tutorials and video courses get you quickly started, even with no prior coding knowledge.

Access to all markets.
Financial markets are all different, but Zorro is universal. It can simultaneously connect to multiple data feeds, banks, brokers, or exchanges. It has modules for options, futures, stocks, ETFs, CFDs, Forex, and cryptocurrencies. It can apply machine learning, fuzzy logic, mean-variance optimization, pattern detection, or order book analysis for trading algorithms.
On time scales from milliseconds to weeks, Zorro supports a wide range of algo trading methods from high-frequency trading (HFT) to monthly portfolio rotation.

Human and artificial intelligence.
Define a deep learning architecture and apply it like a simple indicator. Zorro can utilize deep neural networks or any other R or Python based machine learning libraries for algo trading systems.
Add human intelligence. Retrieve market sentiment by analyzing option chains, order flow, blockchains, news sources, or online reportts.

Serious optimizing.
Optimizing can determine a strategy's robustness and adapt it to different markets. Zorro's walk-forward optimizer trains a 12-parameter intraday portfolio system in less than 25 seconds. Histograms and contour charts illustrate the effect of any parameter on the strategy.
Multiple optimization methods with user-defined algorithms and training objectives are supported. Live trading systems can automatically re-train themselves in regular intervals.

Serious backtesting.
Zorro's tick-level backtest module needs only 0.3 seconds for a 10-years test. After all, it's C++. Exchanges, brokers, and accounts are accurately simulated by their symbols, leverages, commissions, NFA or FIFO compliances, and other parameters. Tests can use ticks, standard bars, or any sort of special bars.
The visual debugger allows replaying the backtest or stepping into details. Results are validated with walk-forward analysis, Montecarlo simulation, and reality checks with randomized price curves.

Financial research.
Developing a trading algorithm begins with analyzing a market inefficiency and detecting its traces in online data or price curve anomalies. Any such anomaly can be exploited in an algo trading system.
Zorro is the ideal tool for financial research. It can access any sort of market data from the Internet, analyze it by any imaginable criteria, and use the result directly for a trading algorithm.

Instant strategies.
Zorro comes with ready-to-run, indicator-free trading systems for Forex, CFDs, ETFs, stocks, options, and cryptocurrencies. They are permanently maintained and allow you to experience a live trading system before developing your own strategies. Read here about the free algo trading systems.
Be aware that the future is unknown and all strategies are risky. Invest no money you can't afford to lose.

Seamless integration.
Zorro's own lite-C script language allows an easy approach to strategy coding, with very short and fast scripts. Use the integrated environment and on-the-fly compiler for rapid development, optimizing, test, and deployment of algorithmic trading strategies.
Additionally, Zorro integrates Microsoft Visual Studio™ for trading in C++, as well as R and Python. Other languages can be added by adapting header files. Use your familiar programming language, environment, and function libraries for your trading algorithms.

Why free?
Zorro is free for private traders since its development was partially donated. Our sponsor believed that all people, especially in developing countries, should learn programming and participate in the financial markets. They need easily accessible algo trading software that really works.
The idea: Small but regular trading incomes for anyone take liquidity out of the financial system and inject it back into the production cycle. This can boost worldwide demand and reduce the divide between rich and poor.

Allow Zorro to beat the world's financial system with its own weapons. Understand, analyze, experiment with, and exploit the markets with many different ideas and methods.
While the markets are evolving, Zorro's development is ongoing, funded through sponsor licenses, development contracts, and trading returns. New versions come out every 3-4 months.
