Automated Trading Championship 2011 Has Started!

[NetTecture]

Quote from d08:

Agreed. But as you said yourself, it makes the competition about luck and not skill.

This is not what i said - because the competition runs long enough that skill makes oyou stay ni. I jsut say many winning approaches will go bankrupt and the winenrs be very on top because of the higher risk they take.

A crap robot will loose with or without competition, sot it is not ONLY luck.

Automated Trading Championship 2011: TOP-10 Participants Overview

The last week of the Automated Trading Championship 2011 is going under a full head of steam. Soon we will finally find out the winners of this three-month MQL5 trading robots competition. We have witnessed sudden rises and sharp falls of some participants and some things have again been seen the first time.

The sole criterion for determining the Championship winners is the gained profit. On the one hand, it is desirable to perform as many trades as possible to gain maximum profit. On the other hand, the risk of a deposit loss also increases with trading activity. Championship participants have been trying to solve this issue in their own way. Let's examine the values of this parameter for TOP-10 participants, as of 5 days before the competition end.

The Automated Trading Championship 2011 Is Over!

The fifth annual Automated Trading Championship 2011 is over. Today, after 12 weeks of the fascinating competition of trading robots, participants' Expert Advisors have been stopped, and we can finally announce the winners.

During the Championship, various Expert Advisors got featured on top of the ATC rankings, their strategies were vigorously discussed by the contest participants and website visitors, and interviews with them were published in the News section of this site. In interviews with the winners of the previous Championships, we have found two ingredients for success in the competition - a good trading strategy and luck.

Automated Trading Championship 2011 in Figures: Dotting All the "I"s

So, the Automated Trading Championship 2011 is over! and the winners are named. While waiting for the official winners announcement, we decided to remind you of some of the Championship figures. Unofficially we can call it a distribution of special awards for outstanding performance during the Championship.

But before moving to the list of nominations and winners we should announce statistical data on the computing resources consumption by the TOP-10 participants. This parameter directly affected the possibility of an Expert Advisor to enter the Championship. The absolute leader in the TOP-10 is aharata. His Expert Advisor consistently consumed for about half a gigabyte of RAM.

Also we should mention a few "outstanding consumers of resources" beyond the TOP-10. These are nimrodm (0.75 GB of RAM and up to 25% of CPU resources most part of the time), porthonkao (1.8 GB), Lizar (1.3 GB) and Tulpar_2011 (1.2 GB). They have managed to avoid disqualification only because of their more saving neigbours that have managed to use remaining resources efficiently enough to maintain their proper work.

Automated Trading Championship 2011: Interview with Alexander Arashkevich (AAA777)

The Championship fervour has finally subsided and we can take a breath and start rethinking its results again. And we have another winner Alexander Arashkevich (AAA777) from Belarus, who has won a special prize from the major sponsor of the Automated Trading Championship 2011 - a 3 day trip to one of the Formula One races of the 2012 season. We could not miss the opportunity to talk with him.

How difficult is it to program a trading system?
As soon as I heard about Forex in 2007, I immediately decided to try my hand in trading. But it is necessary to test trading strategies using the tester to be sure about them. That is how I started to write Expert Advisors. It is not very difficult to program a system, especially since I have some programming experience in VBA and C++. But it is much more difficult to develop a profitable trading system.
