Automated Trading Championship 2008: Jury Session Record of the 17th of October 2008

 

On the website of the Automated Trading Championship 2008, an article Jury Session Record of the 17th of October 2008 has been published. The Automated Trading Championship 2008 gathers steam. Several hundreds of Expert Advisors execute trading operations. However, not all of them are successful. And not all EAs work without errors. Some errors may affect the operation of other Expert Advisors.

The most frequent case is numerous attempts to open a new position, though balance is not enough for this. This week there were 42 such Expert Advisors. There are errors about an incorrect lot size when opening a position, errors occurring when closing an order. All such errors generate multiple alerts, and one Expert Advisor occupied a whole processor for its calculations. All Participants having such errors were subject to the discussion of the Jury session. Jury members made a decision to disqualify 51 Participants.

The article was published on the website of Automated Trading Championship 2008 in the News section.

Sponsors of the Automated Trading Championship 2008 are FXCM (Forex Capital Markets LLC), Interbank FX LLC (IBFX), FXDD and the TRADERS’ magazine. The organizer of the Championship is MetaQuotes Software Corp.
